Job Summary

Own the strategic leadership of a Creative Strategy function by coaching Senior Creative Strategists to connect creative work with growth and performance outcomes across accounts, while aligning closely with Growth Strategy to surface scalable, data-driven plays.

  • Data-driven upskilling: translate insights from the data warehouse into department-wide training and repeatable, scalable plays.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Embedded coaching and management of 4 Senior Creative Strategists on the strategic work of their biggest accounts
  • Help every Senior CS make the leap from being an exceptional creative strategist to a complete strategist - one who connects creative to offer, distribution, performance, and the wider growth ecosystem
  • Coach the constraint mindset: identifying performance bottlenecks and reverse-engineering the steps required to drive meaningful change
  • Coach intentionally - reverse-engineer your approach from knowing each individual. Ask what does this person need to learn next to step up strategically? before defaulting to advice
  • Be the primary voice in the Creative Strategy department whenever questions arise that lean heavily on data, growth strategy, performance, or media buying
  • Build the bridge between Creative Strategy and our Growth Strategy team - work with our Senior Growth Strategists to surface what creative needs from growth, and vice versa
  • Help our strategists develop fluency in: offer, distribution, scaling logic, attribution, funnel, persona development from a growth lens, and how creative ladders into wider commercial strategy
  • Cross-department audit authority on priority accounts - when performance dips, you go deep, identify the constraint, and work with the pod to reset strategy
  • Run regular creative audits across the department, surface what's working and what isn't from a performance lens, and feed insight into the wider Creative Strategy leadership team
  • Work closely with the Creative Leads to map out the training plan for the department - which sessions, when, who delivers
