Who You Are
You’re an Associate Creative Director who thinks in visuals, not just layouts. You concept big ideas, push visual language into new territory, and lead with taste and clarity. You know how to make healthcare look anything but predictable. You guide designers and art directors, partner with writers, and bring ideas to life across channels with style, intelligence, and craft. You don’t just design, you direct the experience.
Responsibilities
- Lead visual concepting and execution from idea to launch across campaigns, platforms, and brand systems.
- Deliver bold, platform-worthy concepts with craft that hits just as hard as the idea.
- Build and evolve visual identity, motion, photography, typography, and UI across campaigns and products.
- Present work with conviction, guiding clients and teams toward the strongest creative choices.
- Mentor art directors and designers, pushing their ideas, and their craft, to new levels.
- Be able to understand and receive feedback to sharpen ideas.
- Collaborate seamlessly with strategy, copy, account, UX, production, and development.
- Understand production inside and out, from photo direction to motion, broadcast, and digital builds.
- Stretch ideas beyond just “ads” into brand experiences, content, digital, product, and environments.
- Push creativity fast without losing detail, nuance, or intention.
Qualifications
- 5–10 years of art direction/visual creative experience in agencies; healthcare is a plus, not a requirement.
- Portfolio that proves you can concept big and execute beautifully (campaigns, content, product, identity).
- Expert understanding of typography, composition, layout, and visual storytelling.
- Expert proficiency with Adobe Creative Suite; motion, Figma; 3D skills are strong bonuses.
- Able to direct shoots, motion, visual identity, and digital experiences while maintaining cohesiveness.
- Driven, curious, and unafraid to challenge safe thinking with respect and collaboration.
- Willing to travel and occasionally go late when the idea deserves the extra push.

What We Do
Unlock Health is a technology and services growth platform that connects the dots across managed care and marketing to help healthcare providers solve today's urgent growth needs while building sustainable performance for the future.
Health systems have spent decades limited by the walls separating patient acquisition campaigns, payor contracts, pricing strategy, and the necessary data and technology required to analyze supply/demand, understand markets, and prove ROI. By breaking down those barriers — and delivering the right mix of consulting, services, and tech enablement to fill the gaps — Unlock Health will enable a massive leap forward in growth and performance.
We have brought together the premier network of health and healthcare agencies including SPM, GLC, Dreamscape, and Centretek with industry innovators, Eruptr and DECODE to deliver sustainable growth and CFO-defensible ROI.
We are unlocking the potential that exists within providers to increase revenue, manage costs, and create healthier communities. Together, we're taking the guesswork out of growth
