• Type: Full-time, permanent
• Salary: Circa £30,000 DOE
• Start: ASAP

Why this role exists

SomX is a communications and creative agency for healthtech, biotech and pharma. We blend PR, content, design, events and media production to help innovators earn attention, build trust and grow. We’re innovative in how we work, we host incredible events, and we collaborate with exciting brands in the UK and around the world. We’re AI-native, which means we’re able to focus on where real-life expertise and relationship building is most valuable. As an Account Executive (AE), you’ll support day‑to‑day delivery across multiple accounts, helping turn complex topics into simple, effective content and steady PR and momentum. You’ll learn the craft and build the muscle memory that keeps integrated programmes moving.

What you’ll do

• Organic content (core) – Draft and schedule LinkedIn posts, captions and simple carousels; build monthly calendars; coordinate basic design/video asks using studio templates; post and community‑manage under guidance.
• PR support (core) – Maintain media lists, research targets, draft pitch notes and media backgrounders, book interviews/briefings, and help with press materials (releases, Q&As, bios) for announcements and events.
• In‑house brands – Contribute snippets, carousels and short clips for Healthtech Pigeon, The Healthtech Podcast and SomX Events; support scheduling and light copy, ensuring consistency with SomX tone.
• Research and prep – Pull desk research (media landscapes, competitor mentions, policy timelines), build contact sheets, draft FAQs and meeting notes, and prep interviewer packs.
• Asset coordination – Chase inputs and approvals, manage file naming/versioning, and keep folders tidy so assets are easy to find and reuse.
• Analytics basics – Log coverage and post-performance; capture simple insights (what hooks and formats worked) for monthly reports.
• Meetings and ops – Keep trackers, agendas and actions tight; circulate notes and next steps; help with POs/timesheets and general project hygiene.

What you’ll bring

Essentials

• Around 1–2 years’ experience in PR/communications/marketing (agency or in‑house), or strong internships with portfolio examples.
• Writing fundamentals – clear, concise copy; good headlines and hooks; careful fact‑checking and sourcing.
• Organisation and follow‑through – reliable with details, deadlines and approvals; comfortable juggling multiple tasks.
• Media curiosity – interest in how stories are shaped and what reporters want; willing to pick up the phone/email confidently.
• Sector interest – curiosity about healthtech, biotech, tech and life sciences, and regulated environments.
• Tools – G‑Suite, task boards, AI platforms; Canva (or similar) to adapt brand templates into on‑brand assets; familiarity with media/monitoring tools (e.g., Meltwater/Roxhill/Muck Rack) a plus.
• Willingness to learn and hungry for opportunities – you ask questions, take feedback well and want to keep building your knowledge, experience and skills.
• Passion for the sector – you’re as nerdy about health innovation and where it’s going as we are, and you bring real enthusiasm to the work we do.
• Trust and the right attitude – these are critical. You care about what you put your name to, and you tell us early when something isn’t right.

Bonus points for these!

• Degree or experience in life sciences, medicine, engineering, health policy or a related field.
• Basic video or image editing skills for short social clips/thumbnails.
• Experience supporting events or shoots (run‑of‑show, asset capture, on‑site coordination).
• Awareness of ABPI/EFPIA or medical/legal/regulatory (MLR) basics.

How we work at SomX

• Integrated by default – PR, content, design, events, talent management and media production in one team.
• Outcomes over vanity metrics – We care about relevance, trust and commercial signals, not just volume.
• Early Friday finish – A high-trust team that protects time to recharge.
• Remote-first – Regular team meetings and events in London, and on-site support for client moments as needed.
• AI-native – AI is built into the fabric of our work, and we’re open and experimental with it. We also understand the value of human expertise and where it fits.
• Giving back – We believe in creating value in the communities we serve. Helping the sector thrive is central to our ethos.
• We have fun – We enjoy what we do and the people we do it with.

What success looks like (first 6 months)

• Fully onboarded across 4–6 client accounts, supporting teams to deliver high-quality work.
• Reliable delivery of agreed outputs each month (LinkedIn posts/carousels, short clips, simple blog/newsletter copy, announcement packs), on brief, on time and to quality.
• Operational hygiene: clean and accurate trackers, agendas, notes, file structure and version control; accurate timesheets/POs.
• Template execution: confident turning templates into on‑brand assets with minimal rework.
• PR competence: accurate media lists, detailed research and well‑structured pitch drafts under guidance.
• Good judgement and comms: flags risks/blocks early, keeps stakeholders updated, and asks clear questions.

Growth path

• AE → Senior Account Executive (typically 12–18 months, performance‑dependent)
• Milestones: handle defined workstreams end‑to‑end, improve pitch hit‑rate, ship content autonomously, contribute to planning and light client comms

What you’ll get

• Competitive salary.
• 25 days’ holiday + UK public holidays + an early Friday finish.
• Pension and enhanced family leave policies.
• Work from anywhere policy, which allows team members to extend trips rather than feeling they need to be at their desk.
• Personal development budget and access to industry events/training.
• Quality kit and support from our in‑house creative studio.

The hiring process

1. Intro call with the Talent Acquisition team.
2. Short written/content task + team conversation.
3. Final interview with leadership.
4. References and offer.
