Job Description

Wildtype runs like no other. As the most Agile full-service agency in healthcare, we aren’t beholden to ritual. Powered by diverse ideas, knowledge, and people, our unique creative process is a force of nature, removing obstacles between brand and growth in wild new ways.



Title: VP Strategy Director

Location: Wildtype - New York, NY (Hybrid)

Department/Discipline: Strategy



YOU ARE THE DISRUPTION DRIVER You’ve always understood that to be disruptive is better than to be conventional. To pursue challenges is more admirable than to be complacent. You don’t settle, and you won’t let your team, or your clients accept less than the best that their capabilities allow. And you routinely remind them that what’s possible should never be underestimated.



The status quo exists to be examined and defied. You build strong relationships with your clients and help them to embrace this idea and realize the true potential of their brands. You refuse to accept “this is how we’ve always done it” and push instead for “how has it never been done?” You establish new models and approaches that introduce unexpected solutions to brand challenges. And your leadership gives your team and your clients the confidence to reach outside the familiar.

Manage and mentor junior strategists to foster engagement through learning and development that leads to career growth

Facilitate efforts at generating insights from a variety of data sources to ensure development of Disruptive creative and brand ideas

Contribute to new business pitches by managing customer insight generation, which is tied to pitch product clinical data
