Want a creative director role where your work has a meaningful impact?

Have you been dreaming about stepping into a role that allows you to lean into your gifts as a team coach as well as flex your creative muscles for a genuine purpose? Something that amounts to, well, something? If you’re looking for the creativity of “an agency job” without the constant pressure to bring in new clients, then we need to talk right away.

The Position: Creative Director

Imagine guiding the marketing creative team at a company that develops groundbreaking products in its own R&D lab. A place that’s a leading educational and clinical resource to its extensive network of compounding pharmacies and a reputable and reliable source for equipment and supplies — all delivered with knock-your-socks-off customer service. Here, you’d be leading the creative work for the problem solvers of personalized medicine.

Maybe you have a healthcare or pharmaceutical background, but the important thing is that you think differently and can appreciate that there’s a fantastically creative side to our realm of science. Because at PCCA, we’re constantly finding new, more effective ways to improve patients’ lives through personalized medicine. No need to worry about doing the same thing over and over. New products are constantly being developed and new initiatives frequently arise that will influence where we’re going.

That’s why we need someone like you whose strong suit is taking complex ideas and shaping them into concepts that stand out and connect with customers. Because you’re the kind of person who puts inquisitive minds to work envisioning and bringing to life creative concepts that are fresh, captivating, relevant — and within the regulatory guardrails.

While you definitely have a creative soul, you’re also an ambivert who’s a natural at selling your ideas and not afraid to try unconventional approaches. Plus, you’re comfortable as a decision-maker, mentor and teacher.

You put your heart into the campaigns you envision and execute a high level of work, both as a manager and as a creative producer. You have a strong, proven background in graphic design, copywriting and/or multimedia production. And that enables you to work closely with your team — including graphic designers, writers, multimedia developers and social media specialists — to ensure projects are assigned and being carried out successfully.

Ready for the freedom to help set the creative vision for the company? You’ll find that here. And it comes within a collaborative work environment, where our in-house marketing agency works with stakeholders in departments and teams across the company (aka our clients). While it will be important to spend time working in our Houston office with the team, you’ll also have flexibility to work from home.

The Company You Keep

We suspect you’re craving a positive company culture where every day is a meaningful day. If this sounds like you, then you sound like us. At PCCA, we’re proud to produce truly incredible products that enable pharmacists to improve patients’ lives. That’s because we live in a world where the dominant mentality is “let’s make the world a better place.” You’ll see our values are more than just words on a wall — we walk the walk every day. And you’ll find our benefits are just as great as the people you’ll get to work with and the opportunities you’ll have for growth.

Are you ready to channel your creative superpowers for good? At PCCA, you’ll leave the cut-throat new client pitches behind to focus your energy on helping our customers truly make a difference in their patients’ lives. Think about how much more fun you’ll be to be around! Let’s talk and see what 2024 has in store for you.

Apply today!
