Job Description

Responsibilities

  • You'll partner with designers to articulate strategy before execution, ground creative ideas in business logic, and help clients move from positioning through to brand systems they can own.
  • Because no rigid split exists yet between senior and junior strategists, you'll help define how this practice actually works.
  • Onboarding is a structured 12-week programme: intensive training, shadowing on an internal R&D project, then a live project role.

Requirements

  • You're one to two years into strategy work, past the first-job hump but not a fresh graduate.
  • Your background could be semiotics, UX, media strategy, or any commercial environment built on strategic problem-solving.
  • You're a maker - someone who has built or launched something independently, and your research goes well beyond what an AI can generate.

Benefits

  • Fully paid medical, dental, and vision for employees and families
  • 401(k) with company match
  • HSA with annual employer contribution
  • Employer-paid life insurance
