Job Description

Responsibilities

The Brand Strategy Lead is responsible for making the HomeServe brand a living, operational reality, translating strategy into practical guidance that teams across marketing, customer service, and field operations can actually use. The measure of success is whether a homeowner has a consistent brand experience whether they're watching a commercial, reading an email, calling our support line, or watching a technician walk up their driveway.
  • Lead Campaign Strategy Support the development of integrated brand campaigns from strategic brief through execution, ensuring messaging is applied consistently across channels and that creative work is grounded in a clear strategic point of view.

This includes formal training, reference materials, and ongoing partnerships with functional leaders.
  • Advise Cross-Functional Leaders Serve as a credible brand voice in rooms where brand isn't always the loudest priority.
  • Partner with Creative Develop strategic briefs and messaging frameworks that give the creative team, and external agency partners, a clear, confident foundation for execution.
  • Own Brand Insights & Intelligence Serve as the internal authority on homeowner attitudes and brand perception. Manage key insight programs including the annual customer survey and our brand health tracker. Translate findings into clear strategic direction and communicate them across the organization in ways that inform decisions, not just decks.
  • Guide Organic Social & Community Ensure HomeServe's organic social presence is an authentic expression of the brand, building meaningful relationships with homeowners and telling their stories rather than just filling a content calendar.
  • Steward the Brand System Maintain brand guidelines and standards while actively enabling teams across a complex organization to apply them. The goal isn't compliance; it's comprehension and confidence.
