  • Be a leader in a multidisciplinary team, collaborating to improve healthcare experiences for patients and medical professionals.
  • Understand the wider brand architecture and ecosystems within which brands operate, and how to work within them.
  • Be the voice of the healthcare professional and patient, and understand how the brand should exist in their lives.
  • Develop strong relationship with clients, developing your standing as the voice of CX strategy and of the agency's thinking


What we’d like to see from you:


  • Agency experience is a must for this role
  • The ability to research and learn new categories, markets and approaches easily and quickly, and apply these learnings to CX strategic frameworks
  • Knowledge of a range of existing CX/UX frameworks (though we will also invest in upskilling you in the frameworks we use)
  • The ability to co-create client briefs
  • Line-management or mentoring capabilities
  • Strong presentation skills

A supportive and challenging environment in which you will have the opportunity to learn, grow, and make an impact that matters.
