This role sits at the intersection of behavioral science, marketing strategy, and applied design, focusing on translating human behavior insights into real-world interventions that drive measurable outcomes. You will work on complex challenges across healthcare and other high-stakes, regulated industries, where understanding motivation, decision-making, and behavioral barriers is essential. The position involves collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to design and shape behavior change strategies that inform both creative and product-level execution. You will also contribute directly to the development of client-facing materials, ensuring that behavioral insights are clearly communicated and actionable. The environment is highly collaborative, fast-paced, and rooted in evidence-based thinking, with a strong emphasis on turning theory into practical application. This is a fully remote opportunity within the U.S., offering flexibility and the chance to work on impactful, real-world behavioral change initiatives.

• Develop and refine behavioral strategies that translate audience insights into actionable intervention frameworks.
• Lead the end-to-end behavioral design process, transforming strategy into medium-fidelity mockups, copy, and communication concepts.
• Apply behavioral science principles to healthcare-related challenges, focusing on patient and healthcare professional behaviors, motivations, and barriers.
• Synthesize market research and audience data to inform and strengthen behavioral strategies and recommendations.
• Present behavioral insights, strategies, and design rationale to clients in a clear, structured, and persuasive manner.
• Ensure alignment between behavioral theory, strategic objectives, and creative execution across projects.

• Strong understanding of behavior change frameworks and ability to build structured strategies from ambiguous problem statements.
• Experience designing medium-fidelity mockups or communication concepts that visually represent behavioral strategies.
• Proficiency in design tools such as Figma or equivalent for wireframing and prototyping.
• Strong PowerPoint skills with the ability to build clear, visually compelling, client-ready presentations.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain complex behavioral science concepts to non-expert audiences.
• Comfortable working in a collaborative, client-facing environment and presenting strategic recommendations.
