About The Position

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. 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. 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, Corporate Brand Communications. This is a high-visibility role dedicated to a single, marquee pharmaceutical client with significant scale, ambition, and opportunity. We're looking for someone who understands that the most meaningful brand building doesn't happen through traditional channels alone—it happens when a brand earns its way into culture. This role sits at the intersection of corporate reputation, creative storytelling, and cultural relevance, helping a major pharmaceutical client show up authentically in the spaces and moments that shape how people think about health. For this role, we’re looking for an exceptional communications leader with deep experience managing large, integrated corporate brand programs — someone who understands how creative, earned media, partnerships, and reputation work together to build trust, relevance, and impact. You’ve led major campaigns, worked with high-profile partners and talent, overseen large sponsorships or cultural activations, and operated confidently in moments that matter. Think of this like a teaching hospital for communications: see one, do one, teach one. We're looking for people who want to be trained—really trained—by senior leaders who will invest in their growth. If you want to learn by doing, receive honest feedback, and work hard alongside people who care about making you better, this is the place. In your first year, you'll have established yourself as an indispensable partner to a senior client team navigating high-stakes moments—from major sponsorship activations to cultural partnerships that put the brand in new conversations. You'll have led integrated campaigns from strategy through execution, brought forward ideas that expanded how the client thinks about what's possible, and built a team that operates with both rigor and creative ambition. You'll be known internally and externally as someone who makes complex work feel clear and who elevates everyone around them.
