Achieving our mission starts with providing enriching, purpose-driven careers for our team that empower them to make a tangible impact on patient lives. We are committed to creating a culture where our employees are empowered to bring their whole selves to work and tap into the power of diverse backgrounds and skillsets to play a part in making a difference for every patient, everywhere.

Our flexible approach to working allows our global teams to decide where they want to work, whether in-office or at home based on team and client need. Major city hubs in London, Manchester, Washington, D.C., and New York, and smaller offices globally, serve as collaboration hubs allowing our teams to come together when it matters. Homeworkers are equally supported, with dedicated social opportunities and resources.

Our inclusive culture is at the heart of everything we do. We proudly support our employees in bringing their whole selves to work with our six Employee Network Groups – Diverse Ability, Family, Gender, LGBTQ+, Mental Health, and Race/Ethnicity. These groups provide opportunities to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion and to connect, learn, and socialise through regular meetings and programs of activity. We are an accredited Fertility Friendly employer with our Fertility Policy, enhanced parental leave, and culture of flexibility ensuring every employee feels supported across their family planning journey and can work in a way that suits their family’s needs.

We are deeply invested in supporting professional growth for our employees through day-to-day career experiences, access to thousands of on-demand training sessions, regular career conversations, and the opportunity for global, cross-capability career moves.

The Strategist plays a central role in shaping how healthcare brands show up in the world, defining their meaning, their value, and the experiences they create for patients, HCPs, and caregivers. This role blends analytical rigour with creative intuition, turning research, cultural context, and market intelligence into clear, compelling strategic platforms that guide brands forward.

As part of a multidisciplinary team, the Strategist contributes to the development of brand positioning, messaging, creative strategy, and omnichannel experiences.

Stepping into the Strategist role means taking on distinct projects independently, from analysis and synthesis through to early narrative development while continuing to support senior strategists on the larger strategic deliverables they lead.

This role is suited to an individual who is curious, articulate, and energized by solving complex healthcare challenges with simplicity and insight.

About the role

The Strategist is responsible for uncovering deep insights, early-stage strategic narrative structuring, and supporting strategic workstreams from discovery through activation. They will work closely with senior strategists and cross-functional colleagues to build brands that are both differentiated and meaningful, grounded in evidence but elevated through imagination.

This role requires a strong foundation in research, a growing fluency in brand fundamentals, and the confidence to express a point of view. They will be expected to operate with increasing independence, manage individual projects and support on components of larger strategic projects, and bring fresh perspective to client and internal conversations.
