Job Description
Associate Director, Strategy is where you’ll start, but we’re always planning for where you’ll go. Our
Associate Strategy Directors are all expected to hone skills that will help build on their careers. Those
skills include:
- As needed, contributing to the development of project-assigned analysts
- Managing small, non-complex projects independently and successfully
- Managing internal relationships with other departments, identifying opportunities for efficiencies in
Services, Media, Program Management, and Technology)
Hell yes, I want to do all of that. But tell me more about Heartbeat…
Heartbeat is a healthcare marketing & creative agency, headquartered in NYC and powered by ~300
smart people all over the US. In the past four years, we’ve been named a 4-time “Best Place to Work” by
AdAge and MM+M and a “Diversity & Inclusion Champion” by MedAdNews.
We care about three big things:
1. Empowering Challenger Brands
We work with marketers who have big mountains to climb and the ambition to make it happen. As their
sherpa and sidekicks, we must relentlessly deliver on our core values: insightful, inventive, and
courageous.
2. Being the Best Place You’ll Ever Work
This isn’t all pool tables and Bagel Fridays — it’s about giving you the support to do and be your best.
Examples include the ability to work wherever (forever), unlimited PTO, and self-care stipends. We also
love to let loose, whether through selfie scavenger hunts or bouts of companywide bingo that would
shock even the rowdiest retirement communities.
3. Fostering a Diverse & Caring Community
We’re the most diverse agency in healthcare, by design. No matter your story, you’ll find representation
and amplification — through our affinity groups, cultural celebrations, and unwavering support no matter
what society throws at us. We’re proud to say that you can be anything you want at Heartbeat (as long as
it’s not an a**hole).
There’s a reason 1/3 of Heartbeaters have been here for 4+ years and we have a 90% retention rate. We
hope you’ll experience it for yourself
