Description
Ogilvy Health is seeking a Creative Director with a strong art direction background to lead creative work on key accounts within our healthcare portfolio. This individual will balance hands-on creative leadership with team development, ensuring both exceptional work and a thriving creative culture.
Key Responsibilities
Creative Leadership
- Own and drive creative direction across key accounts, ensuring big, effective ideas that meet client and patient/HCP needs
- Bring strong conceptual thinking to every brief—pushing beyond the expected to deliver work that's both strategically sound and creatively distinctive
- Maintain hands-on involvement in art direction, from concept through execution, across digital, print, and campaign work
Team Development
- Mentor and grow art directors, designers, and copywriters on the team
- Foster a collaborative, high-standards creative environment
- Provide constructive feedback and creative direction that elevates the work and the people making it
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Partner closely with Client Service to align creative solutions with business objectives and timelines
- Work hand-in-hand with Strategy to ensure ideas are rooted in insight and built to perform
- Present and defend creative concepts confidently to clients and internal stakeholders
What We're Looking For
- 8+ years in advertising/agency creative roles, with proven experience as an Art Director progressing into creative leadership
- Healthcare/pharma experience preferred (HCP and/or DTC)
- A portfolio demonstrating strong conceptual and visual storytelling ability
- Experience managing and developing junior creative talent
- Excellent collaborator who thrives in cross-functional, client-facing environments
- Comfortable navigating regulatory/compliance considerations inherent to healthcare marketing
Our ambition is to attract the very best diverse talent to Ogilvy, and to be the employer of choice in the UK. We want everyone to feel welcome when they join us, and once they’re here, for them to want to stay with us, grow their career, and to feel they belong with us.
We are an equal opportunity employer and we’re committed to creating an inclusive, welcoming environment for everyone who wants to work at Ogilvy. For us, diversity, equity and inclusion is integrated into everything that we do. We believe that for creativity to flourish, everything about how we work must have diversity at its core. Your race, colour, ethnic, religion, gender, gender identity, national origin, sexual orientation, age, marital status, disability, have no bearing on our hiring decisions, but we encourage everyone to feel free to express their true selves in an environment we are consistently striving to make as inclusive as possible.
We aim to facilitate an accessible and positive application experience for all candidates. If you require any adjustments from us to support you through the process or expect to require any adjustments to working conditions to be able to best perform in the role, please let us know. We are happy to consider all reasonable adjustments.
If you live with a disability and you would like to take advantage of our offer of a guaranteed interview under the Disability Confident Scheme, please ensure you fill out our voluntary Equal Opportunities Questionnaire when applying.
