About the Agency
Join an award-winning creative agency of 27 specialists blending creativity, science, and technology to deliver meaningful solutions for leading healthcare brands.
The team crafts high-impact content and immersive learning experiences that align with brand objectives while supporting the educational journeys of internal teams, healthcare professionals, and patients.
By combining storytelling, behavioural science, innovative technology, and scientific expertise, they produce work that educates, inspires, and drives change across the healthcare landscape.
The Role
As Creative Lead, you’ll shape and champion the creative vision across multi-channel campaigns, experiences (gamified online courses, live training, and immersive workshops), and digital projects.
You’ll transform complex medical and strategic insights into compelling visual narratives that engage, educate, and inspire—pushing creative boundaries in healthcare communications.
This is a hands-on leadership role offering genuine career progression in a growing, forward-thinking agency.
You’ll lead a team of three Designers, inspiring creativity and ensuring excellence across all outputs (previous line management essential)
About You
• 7+ years’ experience as a Creative Lead, Creative Director, or Senior Art Director, ideally in healthcare communications, product UX, or digital learning.
• Expert in Figma essential – We don’t need a dedicated “UX Designer” — just someone with solid UX experience.
• A crisp, clean portfolio showcasing conceptual strength and polished execution across digital, interactive, and experiential work.
• Deep understanding of brand development, UX/UI design, and interactive storytelling.
• Proven ability to lead cross-functional teams from concept through delivery.
• Exceptional communication and presentation skills—able to simplify complex ideas and build client confidence.
• Passionate about emerging technology and its potential to elevate engagement and education.
Most of the work involves interactive digital projects where there will be several UX decisions that directly influence the design.
A strong design background with evidence of great concepts and ideas is the priority.
Experience with digital projects and e-learning comes next.
The key thing is design and layout expertise.
They already have a solid team to take things forward from style frames, but they need someone who can bring strong ideas that land well with clients — and then help maintain high design standards throughout.
Design Tools and Workflow: The backbone of their workflow is Figma, where we collaborate in real time through both Figma and FigJam.
Their projects are highly interactive and collaborative — both internally and with clients — and Figma enables them to co-create, review, and refine ideas efficiently.
They’re an advanced Figma organisation, with a well-established design system that supports consistency and speed across projects.
While Figma forms the core of their UX and design collaboration, they also use the Adobe Creative Cloud suite for detailed visual design, animation, and production — ensuring every concept is executed to the highest creative standard.
What You’ll Do
• Lead creative direction across campaigns, experiences, and digital/animation projects.
• Translate strategic and medical objectives into engaging, story-led concepts.
• Champion innovation and big-picture thinking—bringing fresh ideas to every brief.
• Inspire and mentor a multidisciplinary creative team, setting high standards for craft and innovation.
• Oversee the design and delivery of interactive experiences (VR, AR, gamified learning, interactive video).
• Ensure UX/UI excellence across all digital touchpoints—intuitive, accessible, and beautifully executed.
• Present creative ideas confidently to clients and internal teams, articulating the rationale with clarity and passion.
• Stay ahead of industry trends and emerging technologies that enhance learning and engagement.
• Maintain exceptional standards of creativity, quality, and regulatory compliance.
