About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Art Director who brings big ideas, strategic thinking, executional brilliance, polish and calm confidence to the creative process. You’ll be a go-to visual lead — trusted to design and direct high-impact work across channels and platforms. You’ll help evolve brand identity, push visual storytelling, conceive of captivating campaigns and mentor designers with clarity and care.

This role is ideal for a senior-level art director who’s ready to guide others, take creative ownership, and bring thoughtful leadership to complex projects. You won’t just design assets—you’ll shape the creative vision behind them.

• Present and defend creative concepts internally and with clients, clearly articulating strategic rationale
• Collaborate closely with copy, strategy, UX, medical, and production to bring ideas to life with precision
• Mentor junior and mid-level designers, offering constructive feedback and modelling strong creative habits
• Shape the visual identity of brands—evolving campaign look-and-feel while maintaining strategic alignment
• Support high stakes work like pitch development, brand planning, and product launches
• Drive design consistency across formats and tactics, ensuring quality, alignment, and feasibility
• Contribute to team culture, creative standards, and visual innovation within the department

Who You Are

• A polished visual storyteller with experience leading all aspects of creative development

• A calm, proactive collaborator who can guide others and ask the right questions at the right time
• Skilled in digital design, branding systems, and omnichannel creative
• Proficient in Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, and emerging AI-enhanced tools
• Curious about the “why” behind health behaviour—and driven to make that story come to life visually
• A good human-kind, coachable, and ready to raise the bar for your team and yourself

Preferred Experience

• 6+ years of design and art direction experience, with 2+ years at the senior level
• Pharmaceutical or healthcare agency experience preferred
• Strong portfolio that demonstrates concept development, brand consistency, and executional excellence
• Experience leading design across both HCP and DTC campaigns a plus
