Account Supervisor, Health

Edelman is a voice synonymous with trust, reimagining a future where the currency of communication is action. Our culture thrives on three promises: boldness is possibility, empathy is progress, and curiosity is momentum. 

We are in relentless pursuit of an equitable and inspiring workplace that is respectful of all, reflects and represents the world in which we live, and fosters trust, collaboration and belonging.

With perceptions of health shifting from something that needs to be fixed to something that should be developed and improved within each facet of people’s daily lifestyle, Edelman believes health is everyone’s business. As the world’s largest agency and home to 500+ health specialists and colleagues, Edelman has the global perspective, resources, and people to provide cross-practice offerings to help our clients thrive in the changing business of health. We are looking for someone who can join our team who enjoys tackling some of the most challenging health-related communications issues facing society today. Our work spans health, scientific, business, policy, and societal issues for some of the world's leading organizations and brands across all health and wellness verticals and sectors.

Our award-winning healthcare account teams are helping health care companies shape their marketing and communications work to drive business results - not just issue press releases. We're looking for an imaginative and entrepreneurial leader to help think differently for Edelman, bringing big, creative ideas to clients and pushing staff to think across disciplines - from media relations to patient advocacy, to physician-oriented communications, and medical research.
