Vice President, Public Affairs, Global Health Communications

New York, NY

We’re not your typical agency. In fact, we don’t want to be. At M Booth Health, we take pride in doing what’s right, not what’s easy. Asking the difficult questions and finding unexpected answers. Pushing ourselves and our clients to think bigger. Moving beyond imposed limits to break through and create real connection.

We live our brand promise:
Choose to Challenge
. We're built to help organizations and brands challenge norms, drive results and improve the health and lives of those who need it most.

We believe health communications can change the world. Why? Because we’ve done it before. We’ve been at the forefront of advancing some of the most urgent issues in public health and medicine for decades. Our teams are purpose-built to challenge the status quo and drive results–both for our clients and for the health and well-being of people around the world.

M Booth Health’s growth has allowed for the building of a dynamic team comprised of agency veterans and new talent with a broad range of backgrounds to match our diverse client mix, which is comprised of leaders in pharma, biotech, non-profit, medical associations, health systems.

We want people who are just as passionate about health as we are. People who are serious about the work, but not too serious to have some fun while doing it. Candidates who bring big thinking and even bigger ambition; who are willing to push boundaries and challenge norms. And most importantly, who lead with kindness and humanity above all else.

Does that sound like you?

For this role, we’re looking for a strategic leader who translates vision into action. The Vice President will balance a role that is equal parts client excellence, business impact, and team cohesion. You’ll serve as a trusted day-to-day lead on complex, integrated accounts, overseeing dynamic teams and helping to drive growth across the agency. You’re part doer, part dreamer—someone who knows how to execute flawlessly for clients while thinking bigger at every turn to drive more meaningful, impactful work.
