Account Director

About the role

Springer Health+ is evolving how we partner with Client Medical Affairs teams in France, building on our strong scientific publishing heritage to become a trusted, long‑term partner in scientific communication, education, and impact. We are now recruiting an Account Director (Medical Affairs) to lead this next phase. This is a strategic account leadership role , not a traditional sales position. You will act as sole commercial owner for a small number of strategically critical Medical Affairs accounts , applying deep, long‑term focus rather than broad portfolio coverage. You will work within a lean, high‑trust team , alongside experienced sales colleagues and dedicated Project Managers, in a model that deliberately prioritizes focus, depth, and credibility over volume. In this role, you will own and grow strategically critical Medical Affairs accounts in France by: Leading upstream, consultative conversations with MA stakeholders Positioning Springer Health+ as a scientific partner , not just a publications provider Using publications as anchors for broader scientific communication and education where appropriate Ensuring strategic thinking is applied where it genuinely adds value This role is grounded in Medical Affairs realities and constraints, not promotional or brand‑driven models. This role applies strategic depth intentionally, not universally - focus and restraint are part of how value is created. Success comes from judgement, focus, and influence , not constant presence. We are not looking for someone to sell more . We are looking for someone to help our clients think better, earlier, and more confidently - using science as the foundation.
