Edelman US Health is looking for an ACD/Copywriter (and if you have and ACD/Art Director you love working with, we'd love to meet them too!) to help us make work that's packed with substance and purpose. The kind of work that's designed to answer actual problems while making our industry peers jealous.

Whether we're teaming up with global health brands to launch mind blowing medical innovations, creating a groundbreaking app to help runners with allergies find pollen-free running routes, or partnering with Jeff Bridges to give the immunocompromised community hope, the work we create is designed to capture attention and get people talking. It's not enough to be culturally relevant-our briefs demand that we change culture around us. Now we need a strong ACD Copywriter who can help unlock more of those bold and inspiring ideas.

What kind of creative work will you do? We're glad you asked. Because our work doesn't really fit inside any kind of standard PR/Advertising/Communications/Marketing box, there's no "cookie-cutter" creative brief here. You might be batting around ideas for a :60 anthem in the morning, workshopping AI ideas with our connected experience team led by the amazing Taj Reid (look him up!) around lunch, and brainstorming what if's for the next big activation idea that disrupts culture for good in the afternoon. So, if you're looking to come up with ideas that go beyond the traditional 30-second spot (though those chops could come in handy too) - the kind of ideas that end up in the pages of the New York Times and on the Cannes shortlist - you'll be in good company here.

To land this gig, you need to have a passion for people and helping others solve problems. Our culture is what sets us apart from traditional ad agencies, and it's why so many talented team members choose to stay with us. At Edelman, our most valuable resource is you - our people - with a diversity of backgrounds, ideas, and smarts (with heart). We support one another and encourage each other, and we're looking for individuals who want to contribute to our positive culture.
