Job Description

We\'re Edelman Canada, recognized as one of Canada\'s leading communications firms and proud to be recognized as a Great Place to Work\xc2\xae for the last nine years.

We develop communications strategies that give our clients the confidence to lead, act with certainty, and earn the lasting trust of their stakeholders. We do this by creating powerful ideas and telling magnetic stories that move at the speed of news, make an impact, transform culture and spark movements.

We encourage our employees to get comfortable with being uncomfortable because that\'s when the magic often happens. Every day, we strive to live and work by a long-held set of core values: the pursuit of excellence, the freedom to be curious, the courage to do the right thing, and a commitment to improving society.

We celebrate diversity - of culture, background, experience and thought - and recognize it as a powerful driver of great work. We know we are at our very best when our teams collaborate across not only geographies, practices, and expertise, but also personal points of view.

Our Health Practice is an award-winning team of experts. As science advances every day and new products are brought to market, we work across pharmaceutical clients, patient and health associations, and other stakeholders to help close the gap between incredible scientific discoveries and those who need them most. Whether using our regulatory understanding to guide content strategy, diving head-first into healthcare professional consultancy, or engaging influencers to advance compelling stories, our work is always grounded in insights.

If you\'re a creative risk-taker, strategic thinker, and strive to inspire with bold, brave ideas, welcome home!
