Weber Shandwick, one of the world’s leading marketing and communications agencies, is seeking a creative, passionate and unique thinker to join our New York office as an Art Director to grow our Health Creative Department. You’ll help set the tone for a growing and innovative team of art directors, designers and writers, working primarily with global healthcare and pharma brands.

The right candidate will have a keen eye for design and be able to execute flawlessly, in addition to the ability to communicate your vision to collaborators. You should be able to adapt your work for any platform in service of telling a great story through imagery, from social to digital to out-of-home to print.

You will also be asked to think ‘earned first,’ in other words, develop ideas that are designed to travel organically through media and get people talking.

You’ll have the chance to work closely with the brightest minds across the North American Weber Shandwick network, solving provocative client challenges as you develop in your creative career. 

You must be comfortable presenting and engaging directly with clients, representing agency work with confidence and finesse.

• Develop strong video, print and digital design for a wide range of assignments, including branding, layout, storyboarding, mockups, infographics, presentations, print collateral and signage.
• Ensure all visual design adheres to existing brand guidelines.
• Be extremely comfortable creating iterative digital executions, such as resizes of campaign assets for various channels — and overseeing others in this task.
• From concept to execution, bring an enthusiasm for solving design and marketing challenges throughout the life of a project, and amid stakeholder revisions.
• Work collaboratively with colleagues across teams and potentially manage junior designers and art directors.
• Present your work comfortably and confidently in client meetings.
• Join client meetings, brainstorms and planning sessions for ongoing projects.
• Build and maintain strong rapport with creative team colleagues, client leads and project managers.
• Cultivate an inclusive culture and champion the contributions of your colleagues. 

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

• 2-5 years of art direction and/or design experience in a related agency department or industry (advertising, digital, social media, content or public relations).
• Ability to work quickly, efficiently, and accurately within all required aspects of the Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator), as well as presentation software (eg: PowerPoint).
• Be curious, self-motivated, hard-working, well-organized, thick-skinned and resilient to
  ever-changing timelines, requests, and deliverables.
• Experience with social media platforms and a working knowledge of their best practices
• Ongoing drive to learn and incorporate new and emerging techniques, trends and philosophies in design, technology, and social media.
• Must have a portfolio

ADDITIONAL QUALIFICATIONS

• Education in advertising design and conceptual thinking is preferred.
• Bonus skills: illustration, photography, retouching, filmmaking, etc. Any artistic passion points are always a plus.
• Experience managing junior creatives is a plus.
• Knowledge of or strong interest in pharma clients is a plus.

NOTE: If you are selected for an interview, please come prepared to discuss and showcase your art direction portfolio and walk through your conceptual/strategic creative approach to assignments (show us how your brain works). Use whatever work or case studies necessary to best represent these areas of expertise.
