Job description

The Art Supervisor is a senior art director and emerging creative leader responsible for developing smart, strategically grounded ideas and bringing them to life through exceptional visual thinking and craft.

You'll be an art director, conceptor, designer, presenter, collaborator, and increasingly, a mentor. You'll partner closely with writers, designers, strategists, account teams, medical partners, production teams, and clients to turn complicated healthcare challenges into ideas people can understand, feel, and remember.

This is a highly hands-on creative role. You'll concept. You'll design. You'll art direct. You'll present. You'll obsess over the details. But you'll also begin looking beyond your own assignments - helping shape the visual identity of a brand, elevating the work of other creatives, and recognizing opportunities to make the work stronger.

What You'll Do

• Develop original, strategically sound concepts across healthcare brands, audiences, and channels.
• Translate strategy and complex scientific information into compelling visual ideas and experiences.
• Partner closely with copywriters from the beginning of an assignment through final execution.
• Create and art direct work across digital, social, video, print, CRM, websites, experiential, and emerging channels.
• Think beyond individual tactics to visual systems and ideas that can become campaigns, platforms, and connected experiences.
• Develop mood boards, visual territories, storyboards, layouts, prototypes, and other tools necessary to communicate and sell an idea.
• Push beyond familiar healthcare visual conventions to find solutions that feel fresh, relevant, and distinctive.
• Maintain exceptional standards of design, typography, composition, imagery, storytelling, and craft.

Know the brand

• Develop a deep understanding of your assigned brands—the science, strategy, audience, competitive landscape, market dynamics, and creative opportunity.
• Understand why we're creating something, not simply what needs to be designed.
• Help establish and maintain visual identities, campaign systems, and creative standards.
• Recognize when work is strategically right but visually expected - help find a more powerful solution.
• Bring proactive visual and conceptual ideas to your creative partners and broader team.
• Stay curious about design, photography, film, culture, technology, AI, art, and what's happening outside healthcare advertising.

Own your work

• Take increasing ownership of projects from brief through concept, design, production, and MLR.
• Present creative work internally and to clients with clarity and confidence.
• Articulate the thinking behind visual choices rather than relying on subjective preference.
• Work collaboratively with strategy, account, medical, UX, development, production, and other disciplines to solve problems while protecting the creative idea.
• Direct photographers, illustrators, animators, editors, production partners, and other creative specialists as appropriate.
• Navigate medical, legal, and regulatory feedback intelligently, finding visual solutions that preserve the intent and impact of the work.
• Manage multiple assignments and deadlines while maintaining creative quality.
• Know when to solve something yourself—and when to pull in creative leadership.

Elevate the team

• Review and provide thoughtful feedback on work from junior and mid-level art directors and designers.
• Help creatives understand not only what could be improved, but why.
• Share knowledge generously around concepting, art direction, design craft, visual storytelling, production, and emerging creative tools.
• Create an environment where creative partners feel comfortable sharing unfinished ideas and exploring unconventional solutions.
• Learn how to direct someone toward a better solution rather than simply redesigning the work yourself.
• Raise the visual standard of the work around you.
• Be someone other creatives want in the room.
