At Jack Health, we love what we do.  We believe that extraordinary strategic and creative work can solve business challenges and transform brands. But we also know that talk is cheap (and people don’t trust it). Which is why the most powerful brands in the 21st century are experience brands.

We are looking for someone who will geek out with us and help us do something extraordinary. 

Who you are:

• A healthcare category expert, with roots in pharmaceutical, biotech, consumer health, or medical device clients. (HCP and/or omnichannel experience is a bonus!)
• A strategist who is equally comfortable with work that is for internal and external audiences
• Ideally, knows the experiential marketing space, specifically around healthcare, and has a POV on how best to engage audiences within the limits of the regulatory environment

• Likes unearthing data to inform insights and direction; is comfortable with qual & quant data and analysis, and with developing measurement platforms to track client successes

• A collaborator who ideates well with others in a manner of “yes, and…”
• You make others around you better – and the work too!
• As comfortable talking with the intern as with the CMO

If you can do all that, you have what it takes. It might also help if…
