Role Summary

Real Chemistry is looking for a Senior/ACD Creative Team to join our growing 21GRAMS EMEA team!

Creative work is at the heart of how 21GRAMS deliver effective campaigns for our clients. Behaviour changing ideas that drive the healthcare industry forward are what we’re known for, and what’s driving our growth in the Global team, working out of London.  

As a Senior/ACD Team, you’ll have experience of creating, producing and implementing global campaigns for our clients. You’ll be able to find the emotion in the creative brief and create work that stands out from the rest. You’ll know how to develop big ideas that can be localised around the world. And sell them to senior clients. You’ll also be keen to craft them and work with the best people to bring them to life. We love creative ideas, and they deserve to be loved during the production process. 

With recent pitch wins, we need a team who can work with our teams to answer briefs big and small, across a range of clients and therapy areas.  You’re ready to move up, manage teams and make a difference.  

This is a senior role, reporting into the Global Executive Creative Directors. 

Role & Responsibilities

• Create and execute creative concepts across a range of media
• Take responsibility for managing accounts
• Mentor the teams under you
• Develop a productive and rewarding relationship with your clients
• Working closely with the Strategy team to ensure work is based on the best insights and on brief
• Work collaboratively with the creative team - Designers, Art Directors, Copywriters, and the wider agency team to bring ideas to life
• Manage assigned tasks within timelines and project requirements

What are we looking for in you?

• Proven experience in advertising and the book that goes with it (that means a portfolio demonstrating big ideas and smart thinking for real clients!)
• Healthcare experience is preferable
• A curiosity for ideas and how design can help express the thinking behind them
• You’re proactive and expect that of your team
• Good communication skills and openness to collaboration
• A track record of developing relationships with clients.
• An awareness of AI and emerging creative tools, with the perspective that meaning comes from thinking, making, and crafting, not generating. You are interested in where design is going, but believe the best way to learn is to make things, break them, and make them better

At Real Chemistry, we believe we're at our best when we're connected. Our Real Hybrid and Regional Teams (Real HART) approach is designed to foster collaboration, learning, innovation, and meaningful relationships while providing flexibility where appropriate. Because our workforce spans multiple countries, regions, and client needs, work arrangements may vary by role and location. Some positions offer hybrid or remote flexibility, while others require regular in-office presence. For example, certain teams and regions, including some of our UK operations, have office-based requirements. Your recruiter will discuss the specific expectations for the role you're pursuing during the interview process and keep you informed throughout the hiring journey. For employees located within a one-hour commute of a Real Chemistry office, we require in-person attendance two days per week, either from a Real Chemistry office or when working onsite with clients. Employees in regions without a nearby office may work remotely and come together throughout the year for collaboration, culture-building, learning, and team connection opportunities. While these guidelines reflect our current workplace model, we understand that everyone’s circumstances are unique. If you require additional flexibility, we welcome an open conversation with your recruiter and our HR team to discuss your needs and determine what may be possible.

Real Chemistry is an Equal Opportunity employer. We continually strive to build and sustain an inclusive and equitable work environment where our employees feel empowered to leverage all they bring from their personal lived experience and professional expertise, to make our team the best in the industry. We encourage motivated and qualified applicants to apply without regard to race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, ethnic or national origin, age, physical or mental disability, genetic information, marital information, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state, or local employment discrimination laws where Real Chemistry operates.
