About VML Health:

VML HEALTH is a global healthcare agency that partners with healthcare clients across a broad definition of health, from high science to wellness and everything in between. It operates fluidly within the VML agency, as a core group of health specialists (a ‘vertical’) that has the benefit of autonomy in management, but with support of non-health expertise.

At the heart of health is the story of life – all the highs and lows, ambitions, and possibilities. But facing a health challenge can suddenly pull people away from these stories, knocking them off course.

Our purpose is to bridge this gap, bringing people closer to life and all its meaning. We gain a deeper understanding of Healthcare Professionals’ and patients’ needs, behaviors and lived experiences through what we call ‘radical empathy’.

VML Health creates connected brands that get to the heart, bringing people closer to the lives they want to live. Get to the heart. Connect for life.

• Serve as the primary day‑to‑day contact for assigned clients, fostering trust and collaboration.

• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to deliver integrated and effective campaigns.
• Proactively identify and pursue growth opportunities within existing client accounts.

Who You Are:

• A strategic thinker with a strong understanding of healthcare marketing trends and best practices.
• A confident and persuasive communicator, able to articulate complex ideas clearly and concisely.
• A problem‑solver, able to navigate challenges and find creative solutions.
• A team player, able to work effectively with colleagues across different departments.
• A results‑oriented individual, committed to delivering exceptional client service and achieving measurable outcomes.

What You’ll Need:

• 2-3 years of full‑time experience in digital marketing, advertising, or media, with a focus on healthcare.
