Art Director

We are hiring an Art Director (FTC) to help shape meaningful creative work that improves how people experience clinical trials. At Langland, part of Publicis Health, you’ll lead visual thinking that brings clarity, empathy, and consistency to complex healthcare stories. Working closely with copywriters, designers, and cross‑functional partners, you’ll guide ideas from concept through to delivery — always with patients at the heart of the work. This is a hands‑on creative role with real influence on craft, culture, and client impact.

What you’ll be doing:

• Leading the development of high‑quality creative work from concept to final delivery across multiple channels.
• Partnering with copywriters, designers, strategists, and client teams to turn insight into clear, engaging visual ideas.
• Acting as a brand guardian, ensuring consistency while raising the creative bar on every project.
• Designing with the patient and site‑staff experience in mind, including accessibility and inclusion considerations.
• Presenting and discussing creative ideas clearly and confidently with clients and internal stakeholders.
• Collaborating with external partners (e.g. illustrators, photographers, animators) to bring ideas to life.
• Taking ownership of art direction quality, solving challenges proactively and strengthening creative output.

Skills we’re looking for:

• Experience delivering strong art direction and visual storytelling within a creative or agency environment.
• A portfolio that shows clear thinking, craft, and ideas across print, digital, and motion.
• Confidence translating strategy and insight into visually engaging, purposeful creative work.
• Strong collaboration skills, with the ability to contribute independently and as part of a team.
• Comfort managing multiple projects while maintaining attention to detail and quality.
• Clear communication and presentation skills, from early concepts through to client approval.
• A curious, progressive mindset with an interest in evolving creative approaches and formats.
