Our work supports clients to navigate complex policy environments and achieve meaningful change for populations worldwide.

The role 

As an Account Manager working across our UK & International practices, you will play a central role in delivering high-quality client programmes across both domestic and global health policy environments.

This is a fast-paced and varied role. One week you could be supporting engagement around NHS reform or health system transformation in the UK; the next you may be helping deliver a global advocacy campaign or supporting stakeholder engagement at an international health summit.
