Job Summary
Own the strategic framework and research driven storytelling that guides brand work from brief to delivery, with AI used as depth not shortcut and workshops that lock in decisions.
- Lead the strategic territory and creative framework for each project.
- Synthesize ethnography, market analysis, and trend insights into actionable guidance for the team.
- Facilitate co creation sessions and stay with the project from strategy to final creative, ensuring client alignment.
Job Description
Responsibilities
- You define the strategic territory of each project: the framework that guide every creative decision that follows.
- You do real research: ethnography, market analysis, trend forecasting, benchmarking. And you turn it into actionable insight, not endless decks.
- You have your own way of working with AI: as a layer of depth, not a shortcut. You use it to explore conceptual territories, challenge your own assumptions, and generate hypotheses you then validate. You have a method, and it keeps evolving.
- You tell stories: from brief to creative rationale, from workshop to strategy doc. Your writing is part of your value.
- You present to clients with clarity and conviction: defending decisions, articulating the why behind every choice.
- You design and facilitate co-creation and innovation workshops with clients. You know how to walk into a room full of stakeholders and make the session work.
- You work with the creative team from day one. Strategy doesn't stop when the visual work begins: you stay with it to the end.
- You manage your own time and priorities. You know how long things take and communicate early before it becomes a problem.
Requirements
- At least 3 years of experience in a creative agency or design studio.
- A deep understanding of the consumer branding: identity, narrative, positioning, architecture.
- Strong conceptual thinking: the ability to move from abstract idea to concrete execution.
- Real experience with research methodologies: ethnography, interviews, cultural analysis. Beyond desk research.
- An active practice with AI tools applied to strategy. Real interest, not passive familiarity.
- Excellent written and spoken Spanish and English. Catalan and Portuguese are a bonus.
- The kind of proactivity that sees what needs doing before anyone asks.
- Genuinely curious: about people, culture, business, and the world brands live in.
