Position Overview:
We’re on the hunt for an Associate Creative Director (ACD) with deep experience in pharmaceutical sales training—someone who understands the balance between strategic storytelling and instructional design. You’ll lead the development of visually engaging and educational materials that help sales reps truly learn and retain.

As an ACD you’ll guide visual strategy and design across multiple pharma accounts, ensuring that every touchpoint—from concept to completion—is insightful, brand-aligned, and learning-effective.

• Juggle multiple brands, timelines, and deliverables with agility and focus
• Represent the creative team in client meetings and strategic planning sessions
• Balance high-level creative direction with hands-on design where needed
• Elevate the quality of every asset while staying on brand and on brief

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Visual Communication, Graphic Design, or similar field
