About the Role

At Ogilvy Health, ideas don't live in isolation. They live in systems - moving through channels, culture, communities, and conversations to influence mindsets and drive meaningful behavior change. Engagement Strategy sits at the intersection of brand, medical, creative, experience, and analytics, turning that thinking into real, connected, audience-inspired experiences. At its core, great engagement never loses sight of who it's for, why it matters to them, and how it moves them forward on their health journey.

We're looking for a sharp, hungry, ambitious, multi-faceted Engagement Strategy Director who wants to lean in and build engagement across some of our largest accounts alongside us, at a pivotal moment of growth for the practice and agency at large.

This Director will lead day-to-day omnichannel planning for two key clients - spanning CRM strategy, website, social content, and display - making sure the work connects across the broader ecosystem and delivers on each client's core business goals. They'll develop the activation briefs, tactical plans, connected journeys, and playbooks that bring those strategies to life, help shape content and communications strategy, and define audience-inspired channel roles and goals - what job each channel does, for whom, and why - bringing creative teams and account leads with them. They'll also start building the next generation of the discipline, managing and developing one junior strategist along the way.

Our team works within our Integrated Strategy model, partnering closely with Brand Strategy, Medical Strategy, and our Research & Insights and Analytics teams to translate insight into real-world action for patients, caregivers, and HCPs. The ideal candidate for this role understands that engagement is more than channels alone. It's audience-inspired at every step: understanding people, what motivates them, what gets in their way, and how brands can create meaningful experiences that help them move forward.

What You’ll Do

Engagement Strategy Leadership

  • Lead day-to-day engagement strategy for two key clients across CRM, website, social, and display - connecting audience behavior insight into a clear strategic narrative, not just a channel plan.
  • Design connected engagement ecosystems and define audience-inspired channel roles and goals - what job each channel does, for whom, and why - with particular depth in CRM.
  • Build engagement strategy playbooks and plans, partnering with Brand Strategy and Medical Strategy, and with our Research & Insights and Analytics teams on data-informed strategy and measurement.
