Healthcare Content Strategist

Jack Morton United Kingdom

Experience Without Limits. Come shape the future of brand experience.

At Jack Morton, we create, and build, head-turning, smile-inducing, impact driving brand experiences. We exist to redefine what experiential can achieve, helping clients unlock the full value of experiences. 

That takes a team that’s bold, curious, and acts as one - building on ideas, pushing boundaries, and showing up for each other. Here, you’ll do your best work, grow fast, and collaborate across clients, disciplines, and global teams to bring new ideas to life.

This is a place where curiosity drives what’s next, boldness raises the bar, and we win together. Where ownership is expected, egos are left at the door, and the work reflects the people behind it.

Experience without limits — in your work, your growth, and your impact.

The Healthcare Strategy Director is responsible for shaping best-in-class healthcare strategy, medical communications, brand thinking, and engagement approaches across key agency accounts and major new business opportunities.

This role requires an experienced strategist who can translate complex scientific and healthcare insights into compelling narratives, campaigns, and experiences that drive behaviour change, improve patient outcomes, and deliver measurable business impact.

 

The successful candidate will bring strong experience across healthcare communications, medical strategy, campaign development, and live/digital engagement. They will be comfortable working across multiple channels, including events, congresses, exhibition booth design and experiences, and experiential activations, immersive experiences, and emerging technologies.

 

The individual will partner cross-functionally with production, creative, clinical, medical, and regulatory teams to ensure strategic recommendations are grounded in insight, scientific rigour, and audience understanding.

 

A strong commercial ethos will be important, as this role works closely with the head of Jack Health and Life Sciences.

 

Some experience from broader sectors (example, consumer, technology, telecoms, finance, or engineering) is a significant consideration in this appointment, as the wider knowledge we believe contributes to bringing new ideas to the healthcare and life-sciences space. 

 

Notes

 

When we reference being active in healthcare, we refer to experiential programmes that span, healthcare providers, patient communities, life sciences, bio-pharma and medical devices.

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
