VP, Earned Consumer Health Media

Vice President, Earned Consumer Health Media

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, including leading pharma, biotech, and health tech companies.

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 Vice President, Earned Consumer Health Media to join our growing earned media team. For this role, we’re looking for a leading voice in the earned consumer health media landscape. You not only know the reporters, podcasters, and social media influencers that matter - but they know and trust you as someone who brings them great stories. You’ve done it for years across disease awareness initiatives, brand partnerships, corporate reputation and more. And you’re looking for a new home where you can lead – a high-visibility role where you have the opportunity to make a great impact.

In this role, you will serve as a leading member of the MBH health media team – that means taking ownership over the agency’s approach to building integrated media strategies on behalf of clients. This role is part thinker, part doer and full-time leader. You can counsel your clients, roll up your sleeves and get the work done, all while inspiring a team of colleagues who are equally as passionate about health as you are.
