We’re looking for a sharp, skilled and efficient Senior to join ROOM42's Content Studio. You’ll serve as a key creative partner, applying your design expertise across healthcare/pharma (both HCP and consumer) and beyond. Reporting to the VP, Creative Lead of Content Studio, you’ll be responsible for shaping and refining art across a wide range of deliverables - bringing conceptual clarity, brand voice alignment, and category fluency to everything you touch.

This role can be remote within the United States or based in any of our U.S. office locations, including New York City, Boston, Chicago, Lambertville, NJ, San Francisco, or Carmel, IN.

What you’ll do:

Own day-to-day production leadership for assigned accounts, translating the brief into clear scopes, timelines, and next steps across internal teams and external partners

Partner with Creative and Account leads to align deliverables, assumptions, and resourcing; flag risks and trade-offs early and propose practical solutions

Build and manage production schedules for multi-channel digital tactics (e.g., websites, interactive visual aids, videos, banners, landing pages, and emails), coordinating handoffs from kickoff through deployment

Coordinate cross-functional teams (Art Direction, Design, Copy, Development, and QA) to keep work on brief, on timeline, and ready for regulated review and launch

Manage estimates, budgets, and vendor/partner engagement as needed, maintaining clear documentation, approvals, and change control

Oversee trafficking and version management, ensuring accurate specs, files, and final deliveries across platforms and stakeholders

Run status updates and working sessions, communicating progress, decisions, and dependencies to internal partners and maintaining momentum across concurrent projects

Support internal and client-facing presentations by confidently walking through plans, timelines, and rationale, connecting recommendations back to the communication objectives

Contribute to ongoing process improvement (templates, workflows, and best practices) to improve speed, quality, and team efficiency across the Content Studio

Lead design execution on 2 multi-tactic initiatives per quarter (e.g., email + landing page + banners), delivering 100% of core assets within timeline and scope, as confirmed by Producer and Account sign-off

Increase first-round approval rate to ≥75% for assigned work by the end of Q3 (fewer than 2 major creative revisions), measured through review cycles and feedback logs

Own brand consistency by creating/updating 1 digital toolkit per quarter (templates, type/spacing rules, component guidance) and achieving adoption on 3+ projects within that quarter

Mentor and quality-check work for 1–2 Designers per month by providing actionable feedback within 24 hours of review requests, improving their on-time delivery to ≥90% by the end of Q4

( AI goal ) Pilot an AI-assisted workflow for repurposing creative across platforms (e.g., resizing, layout variants, copy-fit explorations) on 1 initiative per month , and publish a 1-page playbook by quarter-end showing a 15% reduction in turnaround time without increasing QA findings

This position is a perfect fit for you if:

Our Company values, Best Together, Impact Obsessed, Excellence Expected, Evolve Always, and Accountability with an "I" , genuinely resonate with how you work and lead.
