We're seeking a strategic content leader to shape content strategy across our pharmaceutical and healthcare portfolio. This Director of Content will bring 10+ years of pharma experience-client-side or agency-side-with the ability to translate complex brand, patient, HCP, access, and support program needs into clear, compelling, compliant content ecosystems.
Partnering with the VP of Creative, you'll help define the strategic foundation for the work-guiding messaging architecture, content plans, channel considerations, and cross-functional collaboration across copy, design, digital, strategy, and account teams.
You know how to connect business goals, audience insights, brand strategy, and regulatory realities into content that is useful, differentiated, and built to perform.
You can zoom out to shape the story, journey, and content system-and zoom in on the word choice, claim, or nuance that makes the work sharper, smarter, and compliant.
