Director, Project Management

Director, Project Management

About Us:

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 of agency veterans and new talent with a broad range of backgrounds to match our diverse client mix, which is comprised of leading pharma, biotech, device & diagnostics and health tech companies, as well as payors.

Who You Are:

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? 

We are actively seeking a Director, Project Management to join a single, marquee pharmaceutical client team and support large-scale corporate brand and reputation communications work, including integrated campaigns, partnerships, sponsorships, earned media programs, executive visibility initiatives, and high-profile brand moments.

This is a role for a project management professional who understands how brand, creative, earned media, and reputation-driven work comes together — and who can operationalize that work with rigor, foresight, and confidence.

The Director serves as a core operational and strategic partner to account, strategy, and creative leadership.

PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES:

Brand + Campaign Delivery Leadership

• Serve as the day-to-day project management lead for a large, integrated corporate brand account, overseeing multiple concurrent campaigns and workstreams.
• Lead delivery across major brand initiatives, including corporate reputation programs, earned-led campaigns, partnerships and sponsorships, executive communications, and live or on-site brand activations.
• Translate complex brand strategies into clear, executable plans — aligning timelines, scopes, staffing, and dependencies across disciplines.
• Ensure cohesion across creative, earned, paid, analytics, and account teams so work delivers against brand and reputational objectives.
• Anticipate delivery risks tied to creative development, approvals, regulatory considerations, or live moments — and proactively build mitigation plans.
• Bring structure and clarity to ambiguity, especially during high-visibility or high-pressure brand moments.

Financial Stewardship

• Spearhead scoping, staffing models, and budgets for integrated brand programs, ensuring they reflect the true complexity of the work.
• Partner with account and finance leadership to manage burn, pacing, and profitability across campaigns and always-on work.
• Oversee forecasting, accruals, and monthly billing, ensuring accuracy and transparency.
• Proactively identify scope risks or opportunities and recommend smart solutions that protect both the client relationship and the agency.
• Support annual planning and large-scale campaign budgeting tied to the client’s brand priorities.

Cross-Functional + Client Partnership

• Act as a trusted operational partner to client leads, helping them navigate timelines, dependencies, and delivery tradeoffs without compromising quality.
• Work closely with strategy, creative, earned media, and analytics leads to ensure operational plans support the intended brand impact.
• Facilitate alignment across internal teams and external partners, ensuring everyone understands roles, responsibilities, and expectations.
• Model calm, confident leadership in complex stakeholder environments.
• Reinforce MBH’s collaborative, non-hierarchical approach while maintaining accountability and high standards.

SKILLS AND QUALIFICATIONS:

• 6+ years of experience in project management within a public relations, marketing, or integrated communications agency.
• Proven experience managing large-scale, integrated brand and reputation programs, ideally in healthcare, pharmaceutical, or other regulated industries.
• Strong understanding of how corporate brand, earned media, creative storytelling, partnerships, and executive communications intersect.
• Deep expertise in scoping, staffing, budgeting, and financial management for complex campaigns.
• Ability to manage high-stakes work with sound judgment, organization, and composure.
• Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build trust with senior clients and agency leadership.
• Experience leading and developing project management teams.
• Proficiency in project management and financial tracking tools, as well as Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint.
• Proficiency in the use of Artificial Intelligence tools for project management excellence.
• A demonstrated commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and to building inclusive, supportive teams.
• Collaborative, steady leadership style with a passion for delivering excellent work.
