Account Manager, Healthcare

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. 

At Edelman, we understand diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) transform our colleagues, our company, our clients, and our communities. 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.

We at Edelman are the Trust Makers.

We are a global, independently owned communications agency that builds and strengthens trust between people, brands, businesses, and organizations. Our 6,000 employees across more than 60 offices develop communication strategies that enhance trust in brands and companies, empowering our clients to lead and act with confidence.

Our healthcare experts work hand in hand with our planning, creative, digital, and activation teams — developing data-driven strategies backed by deep industry knowledge. Advising clients and managing socially relevant campaigns from strategy through execution are at the heart of what the healthcare team does.
