  • Translate complex disease-area information into simple, effective strategic recommendations.
  • Write strategic briefs and guide creative and account teams through clear, concise direction.
  • Support and co-facilitate client workshops and strategic discussions.
  • Present insights and strategy confidently to clients and internal teams.
  • Act as a day-to-day strategic partner to cross-functional brand teams.

What We're Looking For

  • Experience in healthcare advertising, pharmaceutical communications, or a healthcare agency (essential).
  • Strong strategic planning skills: insights, brand strategy, research analysis, storytelling.
  • Ability to understand disease areas, customer behaviour, and pharma compliance.
  • Confident presenter with strong client-management skills.
  • Collaborative, curious, and able to simplify complex information.

Diversity and Inclusion

We believe that Diversity and Inclusion are fundamental to achieving our mission – to help our client's brands and businesses play a meaningful role in people's lives. We view diversity as a business imperative that, when incorporated into all agency practices, becomes a competitive advantage, driving growth and organizational sustainability. As we position ourselves for a future of increased competition and disruption, we're accelerating beyond merely acknowledging differences. Our philosophy is that consistent practices and deliberate actions that foster an inclusive culture, unleash the creative power of our talent and our work. We call this Conscious Inclusion.
