This role will work super closely with agency leadership to evolve how they strengthen client relationships and develop commercial opportunities.

What you’ll be doing

• Defining and developing strategic offering, tools, and methodologies
• Leading brand strategy across positioning, messaging, naming, and activation
• Translating insight into clear, compelling creative direction
• Running workshops and leading strategic conversations with clients
• Partnering with creative teams to elevate output and thinking
• Contributing to new business and pitch-winning work
• Supporting the growth and development of a future strategy team

What we’re looking for

• Strong experience in brand strategy within a creative or design-led agency
• Ability to move between big-picture thinking and hands-on delivery
• Confidence leading client conversations and shaping strategic direction
• A natural collaborator with creatives and designers
• Commercial awareness and interest in agency growth
• Experience building or improving strategic frameworks is a strong plus
