VML Health Account Director DTC- Health//Pharma (Freelance) Location: New York, New York (Hybrid) About VML Health: VML HEALTH is a global healthcare agency that partners with healthcare clients across a broad definition of health, from high science to wellness and everything in between. It operates fluidly within the VML agency, as a core group of health specialists (a 'vertical') that has the benefit of autonomy in management, but with support of non-health expertise. At the heart of health is the story of life - all the highs and lows, ambitions, and possibilities. But facing a health challenge can suddenly pull people away from these stories, knocking them off course. Our purpose is to bridge this gap, bringing people closer to life and all its meaning. We gain a deeper understanding of Healthcare Professionals' and patients' needs, behaviors and lived experiences through what we call 'radical empathy'. VML Health creates connected brands that get to the heart, bringing people closer to the lives they want to live. Get to the heart. Connect for life. Who we are looking for: VML Health is seeking a Freelance Account Director DTC- Health//Pharma , who will be responsible for overseeing the campaign and client engagement and team leadership, across all related processes, disciplines and launches for a major North American Pharma client. Omni-channel campaign and marketing expertise (focus on digital and social, with a focus on Pharma DTC campaigns) is a MUST, but not required. The right candidates will act as a primary point of contact with client leadership, internal stakeholders and serve as the "connective tissue" between internal production resources and external connections. This role will serve as a key Client Partner, and will work closely with Creative and Project Manager for this client's key stakeholders and internal creative, technology and strategy teams. The ideal candidate will have experience leading in and thriving in an agile and collaborative work environment. You will have worked on complex delivery projects/campaigns, pharma product launches and be inclusive of all project elements and phases from inception to completion while remaining cool under pressure. You are familiar with the complexities and regulations within pharma marketing content and all elements of a launch or update to a pharma brand. You consider yourself a strong and willing teammate - someone who can manage scopes of work, complex technical roll outs and omnichannel workstreams across different interagency teams and agency partners with ease. You have your finger on the pulse on the latest trends, with a focus on the pharmaceutical sector. You are a consensus builder and a hands on do-er, able to convey strategic insights and offer consultation to internal and external stakeholders.
