Our client is a small, fast-growing creative agency focused on pharma market access and value messaging. The agency works closely with internal consulting partners to turn strategy into clear, compliant, content-driven creative across channels.

This role exists because the work has grown in volume and complexity. The team is seeking a Creative Director who can own the work, lead a small team, and stay close to execution.

THE ROLE

Youll lead creative direction and execution while managing and mentoring a lean team. Youll be accountable for the quality of the work, how it gets done, and how it lands with clients.

Youll work hand in hand with the Managing Director and directly with consultants who own strategy and typically lead the client relationship, translating strategic thinking into clear, effective creative.

This role sits inside a highly resourceful and successful consulting environment that operates differently than most. The focus is not on billing more hours—its on doing better, more strategic work that delivers value.

This role carries direct responsibility for creative execution and quality, alongside team leadership. It is not a purely conceptual or managerial position.

The current creative structure includes two Art Directors, dedicated Project Management support, and outside partners for copy, medical, digital, and video. As Creative Director, youll lead within this model while helping shape what comes next.

Over time, these capabilities will be brought in-house. Youll play an active role in defining roles, hiring full-time talent, and building the future creative team.
