As a PPT and Digital media designer on a 1-year contract, you’ll join a culturally diverse group of 90+ strategic and creative explorers at an in-house advertising agency for a biopharmaceutical company with 29,000+ employees.

You’ll be part of a close-knit team—senior designers, web developers, motion artists, writers, editors, and account managers—that partners with cross-functional stakeholders to support 30+ leading brands. Together, you’ll develop multichannel materials for affiliates in 80+ countries.

You’ll love working in modern, eco-friendly buildings with bright, open interior spaces. Time for a break? Grab a coffee or snack in the on-site Starbucks, enjoy a full meal in the tricked-out cafeteria, work up a sweat in the spacious gym, or take a stroll along the nature path on campus.

And you’ll find it all in Mettawa, with a free shuttle to and from Metra north train lines + convenient access to I94.
