Job Summary

Own end-to-end creative concepting for pharmaceutical brands, turning strategy into campaigns across the brand lifecycle while building visual identities and toolkits that stay within regulatory constraints and timelines.

  • Lead concept development and visual identity system work
  • Collaborate with strategy teams and PNAV groups to align on rationale
  • Ensure timely, high-quality deliverables across campaigns and assets

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Develop original concepts, creative territories, and campaign platforms for pharmaceutical brands, grounded in strategic and scientific inputs provided by PNAV teams
  • Translate brand strategy, positioning, and scientific narratives into distinct creative territories with clear rationale
  • Develop campaign concepts across the brand lifecycle, from pre-launch disease awareness through launch and mature-brand refresh
  • Create concept boards, mood boards, and visual explorations that make abstract strategy tangible for client presentation
  • Contribute naming, taglines, and messaging concepts in partnership with strategy leads
  • Develop visual identity systems — logos, color systems, typography, iconography, and graphic elements — for new brands, and refresh existing ones while preserving brand equity
  • Establish flexible design systems that work across personal and non-personal channels, including sales aids, congress materials, websites, and digital media
  • Build style guides and toolkits that internal teams and other vendors can execute against consistently
  • Execute at a high level beyond concepting: adapt winning concepts into pitch decks, mock-ups, and comps that bring ideas to life for client review
  • Strengthen work in progress by refining layouts, sharpening visual hierarchy, and ensuring finished pieces are polished and professionally presented

Requirements

  • Several years of dedicated brand and concept creative experience, whether from an agency, an in-house creative team, or an established freelance practice, with a portfolio of campaign and identity work
  • Fluency in Adobe Creative Cloud — Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign
  • Strong conceptual and design fundamentals: idea generation, visual storytelling, typography, composition, and color
  • Ability to deliver organized, editable source files that PNAV teams can build upon
  • Exceptional attention to detail; proactively catches off-brand and inconsistent elements
  • Takes direction well, asks clarifying questions early rather than guessing, and handles feedback without friction, including feedback driven by regulatory constraints rather than aesthetics
  • Reliability is absolutely key: communicates honestly, confirms requests promptly, and holds committed deadlines, including the occasional same-day or next-morning turnaround

Preferred

  • Experience in healthcare or pharmaceutical marketing, including familiarity with the MLR review process, fair balance and ISI requirements, and the distinction between HCP and patient audiences
  • Working knowledge of Figma and PowerPoint
  • Experience contributing to naming, tagline, and messaging development
  • Prior experience supporting new business pitches and RFP responses
