Senior Account Executive
$65,000/yr - $80,000/yr
RXMOSAIC understands the science of communications and we’re comprised of passionately obsessed minds, rich data and the latest tools to invent the next generation of healthcare communications. We blend scientific communications with breakthrough creative to drive our clients’ businesses. We know what’s worked in the past isn’t necessarily what will move healthcare forward and we believe the time to evolve is now!
We believe that science and creativity don’t just go hand and hand – they are one and the same. We believe that all progress – be it personal or clinical – starts with a thought experiment. That stone-cold data can make a heart-melting impact and that nothing is more emotional than a person’s health.
We are a diverse and growing group of communication professionals. Pioneers who join us are part alchemist, part futurist, part daredevil, part humanist, part explorer and part geek…and together, we’re creating an entirely new form of communications. We value EQ as much as IQ. Working at RXM is an amazing opportunity to get people talking, thinking and behaving differently. This spirit of relentless curiosity is reflected in our deep commitment to fostering and cultivating a culture and environment where we celebrate and advance diversity, equity and inclusion for all.
