Job description

Ogilvy was founded in 1948 by David Ogilvy. David created a culture that deeply respects and cares about its people and clients. Our mission is to inspire people and brands to make an impact and we are committed to attracting, growing, and retaining the best talent in the industry.

Ogilvy Health UK is made up of healthcare communication specialists across the disciplines of medical education and communications; brain sciences; brand promotion; digital and social; strategic planning; public relations; and creative/design. We believe we are like no other: we blaze new trails; we encourage a culture of creativity and innovation; we challenge, and we change; and we recognise and reward our team.

Ogilvy Health focuses on healthcare marketing and communications, helping brands navigate the complexities of the healthcare industry. We work with clients from pharmaceutical companies to healthcare providers and consumer wellness brands, creating impactful campaigns that improve lives. Our vision is to inspire brands and people to impact the world, through Borderless Creativity that connects platform, culture, and technology. We\'re part of the award-winning Ogilvy network, renowned for pushing creative boundaries and delivering significant contributions to our clients\' success.

About the Role

Join our creative team as one of two new Midweight Designers! While a strong foundation in design is essential for both roles, we\'re excited to welcome individuals who can deepen our capabilities in key areas. Whether your passion lies in Data Visualisation, making complex health data accessible and beautiful, or in Designing for Motion, where you\'ll build visual narratives through storyboarding and asset creation for dynamic animation and social content – we have a place for your unique talent.

These are unique opportunities to work across our entire client portfolio, from pharmaceutical giants to innovative health tech startups, translating intricate health and scientific data into engaging and accessible visual experiences. You\'ll be instrumental in shaping how we communicate critical information, making a real difference in healthcare.

We offer a hybrid work environment that balances collaboration with independent work. Join us in the office every Tuesday and Wednesday for team meetings, agency updates, brainstorming, and client interactions. We also dedicate the third Friday of each month to in-person collaboration and team building.

What You’ll Do

• Transform Data into Design:Lead the visual translation of complex scientific, medical, and market data into clear, compelling, and aesthetically pleasing infographics, charts, diagrams, presentations, and interactive experiences.
• Concept & Create:Work closely with strategists, medical writers, art directors, and account teams to conceptualise and develop innovative visual solutions for diverse healthcare campaigns and projects.
• Visual Storytelling:Develop visual narratives that simplify complex information, making it digestible and memorable for various audiences, from healthcare professionals to patients and the public.
• Brand Guardianship:Ensure all data visualisations align with client brand guidelines and Ogilvy\'s high creative standards, maintaining consistency and quality across all outputs.
• Tool Proficiency:Utilise a range of design software (Adobe Creative Suite, particularly Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, and potentially After Effects/Figma for motion/interactive elements) to bring your designs to life.
• Research & Innovation:Stay abreast of the latest trends in data visualisation, design, and healthcare communications, bringing fresh ideas and innovative approaches to the team.
• Collaborate & Present:Actively participate in brainstorming sessions, present your design concepts internally and to clients, and iterate based on feedback.

What You\'ll Need

• Experience: Professional design experience, with a strong portfolio demonstrating a clear specialisation and passion for data visualisation and information design. Experience within a creative agency, healthcare, or a data-heavy industry is highly advantageous.
• Visual Acumen:An exceptional eye for detail, typography, colour, and layout, with a proven ability to create clean, modern, and effective visual communications.
• Technical Proficiency:Expert-level command of Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop are essential). Familiarity with motion graphics (After Effects) or interactive design tools (Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD) is a plus.
• Conceptual Thinking:Ability to understand complex briefs, distil key information, and develop creative concepts that effectively communicate the message.
• Problem-Solving:A natural curiosity and ability to approach data challenges with a creative and analytical mindset.
• Communication:Excellent verbal and written communication skills, capable of articulating design choices and collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams.
• Adaptability:Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, work efficiently under pressure, and adapt to evolving client needs and deadlines.
• Passion for Health:A genuine interest in the healthcare sector and a desire to contribute to meaningful communications that impact health outcomes.
• Private Medical Cover OR Monthly Leisure Allowance (£45!) OR Dental Cover
• 25 days annual leave, a day off for your birthday, a paid volunteering day, plus the option to purchase up to 5 additional days leave each year
• Access to our excellent Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) provided by Lifeworks
• Access to a range of fantastic resources in our L&D Academy
• A dedicated Culture Committee who keep us entertained throughout the year with a range of inclusive sociable events - we like to have fun!
• 1:1 coaching to support your personal and professional development
• A generous pension scheme, with contributions matched up to a total of 17.5% (i.e. you pay in 7%, Ogilvy Health pays in 10.5%)
• Take advantage of season ticket loans, cycle-to-work scheme, property rental assistance, and generous employee discounts.

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.
