About VIVO
VIVO is a healthcare marketing agency specializing in consumer health, pharma, and medtech. We are a 100% remote agency with team members all around the US. Being 100% remote means we value constant collaboration, clear communication, personal accountability, and proactive problem solvers.
At VIVO, we believe health is more than a sector; it’s a life-changing mission. We are creators and strategists driven to make healthcare impactful and accessible, from first impressions to lifelong connections. We bring insight, curiosity, and compassion to every project, knowing our work helps patients, doctors, and everyone in between get the care they deserve—when and where it’s needed most. We’re here to challenge the norms and elevate health brands to inspire, engage, and transform lives.
About You
VIVO is a growing independent healthcare agency with ambitious plans for what comes next—and we believe exceptional creative will be central to getting us there.
We’re looking for a Creative Director — Art who can raise our creative bar, lead and grow our Art discipline, and help shape the future of Creative at VIVO.
This is a senior leadership role for someone who is as passionate about building as they are about making: building exceptional work, talented teams, strong creative partnerships, better ways of working, and an agency people notice.
You’ll bring deep roots in art and design, but your creative thinking should extend well beyond the visual. You understand how art, copy and strategy come together to create an idea, and you're comfortable helping lead multidisciplinary teams toward work that's strategically smart, beautifully executed and impossible to ignore.
What You Will Do
Set the Creative Bar.
• Own and elevate the visual and creative standard across VIVO's client and agency work.
• Lead the development of integrated ideas across digital, social, video, print, experiential and emerging channels.
• Be hands-on when it matters—reviewing, challenging, refining and elevating work from concept through execution.
• Push healthcare creative beyond the expected and help build a body of work that earns attention from clients, talent and our industry.
Lead Art. Influence Creative.
• Lead, mentor and develop VIVO's Art and Design talent, creating clarity around expectations, feedback, growth and accountability.
• Partner closely with our Creative Director, Copy to create a highly integrated creative organization where Art and Copy make one another better.
• Think beyond your own discipline. Bring a strong point of view to concepts, storytelling, creative strategy and the overall quality of our work.
• Evolve the structure, capabilities and future of VIVO's Creative department.
Build, Don't Just Maintain.
• Identify the talent, capabilities, processes and tools we need for our next stage of growth.
• Develop creative leaders—not just great campaigns.
• Create an environment where talented people are challenged, supported and able to do the best work of their careers.
• Partner Across the Agency.
• Work closely with Strategy, Client Services, Project Management, Editorial and Agency Leadership to turn business problems into powerful, creative solutions.
• Build trust across disciplines and eliminate the silos that get in the way of great work.
• Be someone our teams want in the room for our most important opportunities and our toughest creative challenges.
Help Grow VIVO.
• Play a meaningful role in new business, pitches and organic client growth.
• Present ideas and creative vision confidently to senior clients.
• Identify opportunities to make our existing client work stronger—and our relationships bigger.
• Help build VIVO's external creative reputation through award-worthy work, thought leadership and visibility in the industry.
Embrace What's Next.
• Bring curiosity—not fear—to emerging technology.
• Help us integrate AI and new tools thoughtfully into concepting, design, content development and production while protecting originality, craft and quality.
What You Bring
• 15+ years of creative experience with deep roots in art direction/design
• Significant experience as a Creative Director, Group Creative Director, or equivalent
• A portfolio demonstrating exceptional conceptual thinking and visual craft
• Strong network of talent and vendor relationships
• Experience leading integrated work across art, copy and multiple channels
• A track record of building and developing creative talent
• The ability to move between big-picture creative vision and hands-on creative direction
• Strong executive presence and confidence presenting to senior clients
• Experience contributing to pitches, new business and organic growth
• Healthcare, pharma, life sciences, diagnostics, medical device or health-tech experience strongly preferred
• AI experience and a strong philosophy about how to integrate it across our agency
But the most important thing is how you think. You're a builder. You care about developing people as much as developing ideas. You have high standards without needing to have all the answers yourself. You know the best creative departments aren't built around one person's ego—they're built around talented people who challenge one another and make the work better together. And you're excited by the opportunity to help shape what VIVO becomes next.
