Responsibilities

• Lead marketing strategy across a portfolio of important client relationships. Build the annual and quarterly roadmaps that shape how we deploy creative, media, content, and CRO. Make independent strategic calls and stand behind them.
• Translate client business goals into clear, prioritized, executable marketing roadmaps. Define the levers, the sequencing, the channels, and what success actually looks like. Build plans the team can run with and clients can rally around.
• Sit across from CMOs, founders, and growth leaders as the senior strategic voice on assigned accounts. Run the planning conversations, lead the QBRs, push back when needed, and earn the room.
• Lead strategic discovery to set every engagement up for success. Audit existing performance, find the actual growth levers, and translate them into a plan the team can execute.
• Brief and partner closely with creative, media, and content teams. Your thinking should shape what gets made, what gets tested, and where dollars get spent. You stay in the work through execution.
• Help define how marketing strategy operates at Anchour. Develop the frameworks, processes, and standards that elevate strategic thinking across the agency. Over time, build and mentor a strategy bench underneath you.
• Bring fresh perspectives on what's working, what's changing, and how AI is reshaping how marketers operate. Push the team to test, iterate, and stay ahead of where the industry is going.

Requirements

• Agency Experience: 7+ years of marketing strategy experience, with at least 3 years at an agency. We need someone who has been senior in this work, not someone growing into it.
• Multi-Channel Fluency : Real experience building strategies that span paid media, content, SEO, email and CRM, brand, and CRO. Fluent in performance and brand thinking, and how the two reinforce each other.
• Multi-Industry Range : You've worked across verticals and adapted your thinking to the realities of different businesses. Experience in DTC, CPG, or financial services is a strong plus.
• Senior Client Presence : You've sat across from CMOs and founders and held the strategic line. You manage tough conversations, navigate complex feedback, and earn trust at the most senior levels.
• Roadmap Builder : You've built marketing roadmaps from scratch. You know how to take ambiguous business goals and turn them into clear, prioritized, executable plans.
• Strategic Conviction : You form sharp opinions backed by evidence. You push back when something isn't right. You make recommendations that clients can actually act on.
• Data-Literate : You read performance data, work alongside analytics, and use numbers to sharpen strategy. You know what the dashboards are telling you.
• AI-Integrated Workflow : You're using AI tools to research faster, draft sharper, and think bigger. You can speak to how it's improved your work.
• Player-Coach Orientation : You're hands-on with the work, and you raise the bar for everyone around you.
• Self-Directed : You see the work and move it. You don't need to be told what to prioritize.
• New England-Based : This is a hybrid role with regular in-office days and occasional in-person client collaboration. Maine-based applicants are preferred.
