About VML Health:
VML HEALTH is a global healthcare agency that partners with healthcare clients across a broad definition of health, from high science to wellness and everything in between. It operates fluidly within the VML agency, as a core group of health specialists (a 'vertical') that has the benefit of autonomy in management, but with support of non-health expertise.
At the heart of health is the story of life - all the highs and lows, ambitions, and possibilities. But facing a health challenge can suddenly pull people away from these stories, knocking them off course.
Our purpose is to bridge this gap, bringing people closer to life and all its meaning. We gain a deeper understanding of Healthcare Professionals' and patients' needs, behaviors and lived experiences through what we call 'radical empathy'.
VML Health creates connected brands that get to the heart, bringing people closer to the lives they want to live. Get to the heart. Connect for life.

  • Support the team in driving internal and external communications (scheduling meetings, compiling/distributing notes, tracking action items, ensure follow-through on intermediate and milestone deliverables, etc.)
  • Maintain project momentum and keeps project and team on track
  • Catalog and maintain all project documentation and deliverables
  • Become well-versed in and clearly explain necessary project processes/workflows, including becoming experts in any client-specific processes, related to the legal/medical/regulatory reviews or similar
  • Coordinate and/or author points of view as required by a project

Who You Are and What You Bring:
  • 2+ years of agency and/or client-side experience managing large-scale marketing projects
  • Excellent communication skills; creates clarity where there is ambiguity/confusion
  • Strong organization skills
  • Attention to detail, willingness to ask questions and ability to follow up
  • Embraces change

  • Proactive, adaptable, and flexible
  • Ability to follow direction
  • Understanding of waterfall methodologies

What You'll Need:
