Cactus Life Sciences partners with the global biopharma industry to drive innovation and elevate patient outcomes through agile, science-driven medical communications.
We are seeking an Account Manager (AM) who thrives in a client-facing environment and is comfortable wearing more than one hat. The AM will independently manage accounts and standard projects, while supporting complex accounts under senior guidance, and ensure that organisational KPIs and client expectations are met. While the role is primarily focused on Account Management, it also encompasses event management responsibilities. If you bring event experience, all the better and if not, we will support you in building it. What we care about most is your background in medical communications and the attitude you bring to work.

Location & Work Model: This role is based in Meggen, Switzerland, on a hybrid model with a minimum of 1 day per week in the office. We welcome applications from candidates currently based anywhere in Europe who are open to relocating to Switzerland. Please note that relocation support is not provided as part of this offer.

- Monitor project timelines, quality, and financials, maintain accurate CRM records, and ensure monthly reporting is accurate and up to date
- Collaborate with Medical Account Leads and senior Client Service colleagues to ensure alignment between scientific content, event logistics, and strategic account objectives
- Proactively gather client feedback, flag risks early, capture post-event learnings, and contribute to the continuous improvement of delivery standards and account health
- Coordinate with external agencies and vendors including registration partners, travel agencies, venues, and production suppliers to ensure aligned timelines and quality delivery
- Manage participant communications, registration tracking, hotel and travel coordination, HCP communication, contract administration, and honoraria coordination in full compliance with FMV principles and applicable transparency regulations
