Join our creative team as a Midweight Designer! We're looking for someone with a strong foundation in design. Whether your passion lies in Data Visualisation, making complex health data accessible and beautiful, or in Designing for Motion, where you'll build visual narratives through storyboarding and asset creation for dynamic animation and social content – we have a place for your unique talent.
This is a fantastic opportunity to work across our entire client portfolio, from pharma giants to innovative health tech startups, translating intricate health and scientific data into engaging and accessible visual experiences. You'll be instrumental in shaping how we communicate critical information, making a real difference in healthcare.
- Concept & Create: Work closely with strategists, medical writers, art directors, and account teams to conceptualise and develop innovative visual solutions for diverse healthcare campaigns and projects.
- Visual Storytelling: Develop visual narratives that simplify complex information, making it digestible and memorable for various audiences, from healthcare professionals to patients and the public.
- Transform Data into Design: Embrace our strong design philosophy in the communication of scientific data and information and help evolve it.
- Brand Guardianship: Ensure all data visualisations align with client brand guidelines and Ogilvy's high creative standards, maintaining consistency and quality across all outputs.
- Tool Proficiency: Utilise a range of design software (Adobe Creative Suite, particularly Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, and potentially After Effects/Figma) to bring your designs to life.
- Research & Innovation: Stay abreast of the latest trends in data visualisation, design, and healthcare communications, bringing fresh ideas and innovative approaches to the team.
- Collaborate & Present: Actively participate in brainstorming sessions, present your design concepts internally and to clients, and iterate based on feedback.
What You'll Need
- Experience: Professional design experience, with a strong portfolio demonstrating a clear specialisation and passion for data visualisation and information design. Experience within a creative agency, healthcare, or a data-heavy industry is highly advantageous.
- Visual Acumen: An exceptional eye for detail, typography, colour, and layout, with a proven ability to create clean, modern, and effective visual communications.
- Technical Proficiency: Expert-level command of Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop are essential). Familiarity with motion graphics (After Effects) or interactive design tools (Figma) is a plus.
- Conceptual Thinking: Ability to understand complex briefs, distil key information, and develop creative concepts that effectively communicate the message.
- Problem-Solving: A natural curiosity and ability to approach data challenges with a creative and analytical mindset.
- Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills, capable of articulating design choices and collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams.
- Adaptability: Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, work efficiently under pressure, and adapt to evolving client needs and deadlines.
- Passion for Health: A genuine interest in the healthcare sector and a desire to contribute to meaningful communications that impact health outcomes.
