Job Description

Responsibilities

  • AI-, Automation-, and DCO-Enabled Creative Process: Own the implementation and adoption of AI-, automation-, and DCO-enabled creative workflows, moving the studio from ad hoc experimentation to repeatable processes for briefing, concepting, modular asset creation, adaptation, versioning, dynamic content assembly, review, optimization, and quality control. Define the creative use cases, guardrails, templates, prompt libraries, QA steps, playbooks, examples, training, and review rituals needed to make AI and DCO technology useful in regulated healthcare work while helping designers, copywriters, and Creative Directors improve speed, consistency, reuse, personalization readiness, and quality without reducing creative judgment, accountability, craft, accuracy, compliance, or brand integrity.
  • Creative Quality and Craft Standards: Establish clear creative standards, review practices, templates, prompts, and quality controls that help the team produce stronger work with greater consistency, speed, and precision.
  • Studio Operating Model: Work with ops lead to optimize the creative operating model for the content studio, defining roles, rituals, intake expectations, review points, creative decision-making, and the handoffs between creative teams and delivery management leads.
  • Healthcare Advertising Expertise: Ensure the studio’s creative process supports regulated healthcare work, including precision, consistency, claim sensitivity, review readiness, and the ability to adapt creative across brands, audiences, and channels.
  • Senior Creative Partnership: Serve as a senior creative partner to 21GRAMS, ROOM42, and client stakeholders, helping teams understand what the creative studio can make, how the AI-enabled process works, and how to get to better work faster.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with delivery management, production, media, technology, account, strategy, medical, and operations teams to make sure creative workflows are connected, scalable, measurable, and practical across different engagement models, including DCO-enabled workstreams that require close coordination between creative, media, data, and platform partners.
  • Tooling, Templates, and Workflow Adoption: Translate AI, automation, and DCO opportunities into usable studio practices, including repeatable templates, modular content frameworks, prompt libraries, creative QA steps, content adaptation models, dynamic creative requirements, team training, and governance routines that support regulated healthcare work.
  • Continuous Improvement: Identify recurring creative workflow issues and improve the systems, behaviors, and enablement materials that help the team deliver better work with less friction.

Requirements

  • - Significant experience leading creative teams within a healthcare advertising agency, creative agency, production studio, content studio, or related environment.
  • - Strong creative leadership skills, including team management, creative quality oversight, feedback, talent development, and the ability to raise the standard of work across designers and copywriters.
  • - Practical experience implementing AI, automation, and DCO technology in creative workflows, including briefing, concepting, modular asset creation, versioning, adaptation, dynamic content assembly, review, creative reuse, quality control, and reduction of repetitive manual work.
  • - Ability to turn emerging tools into repeatable creative processes, including templates, prompts, review steps, QA practices, guardrails, training materials, adoption plans, and human oversight expectations.
  • - Strong healthcare advertising experience, including regulated categories, claim sensitivity, client review expectations, agency creative models, data protection considerations, and the accuracy, consistency, and compliance required to deliver work in this space.
  • - Experience with DCO and dynamic content workflows, including modular asset systems, feed- or data-informed creative logic, versioning, adaptation, audience- or channel-specific creative delivery, platform requirements, testing inputs, optimization signals, and collaboration with media, technology, and AI/automation partners.
  • - Confident senior presence with the ability to explain creative systems, shape expectations, influence stakeholders, and build trust with agency and client teams.
  • - Collaborative leadership style with the ability to work effectively across Real Chemistry, 21GRAMS, ROOM42, media, client teams, and cross-functional partners.
