Brand Strategist

The essentials of this role are:-

  • The company is young and relatively small (12 people) but growing solidly on the basis of great strategy and design
  • The founders are all from stellar branding backgrounds
  • Breadth of client sectors i.e. no over reliance on one major client
  • An opportunity to play a key role at a formative stage of development
  • Ideally looking for a talented brand strategist with roughly 3 – 5 years’ experience
  • You’ll be able to lead clients on a strategic journey from day one
  • However, you won’t be a complete strategist and be also looking for mentorship from a more experienced strategy director

It is essential that you have worked on some large brand projects, helping to build original, world class brand and creative strategies. You’ll have developed an understanding of brand positioning and architecture, experience design and the role of brand in facilitating culture change.

You’re likely to come from a consulting, creative strategy, innovation or experience design background. Ideally you’ll have a blend of these skills, giving you a unique perspective of what it takes to build a world class brand.

We’re looking for someone who is full of energy and bright ideas. You’ll be brave enough to challenge colleagues and clients with fresh approaches that can help to reinvent companies, products, services and cultures. You’ll have experience of helping to develop innovative strategies and experiences across all channels, touch points and areas of a company.

You’ll be a smart, capable, brand savvy strategist. Your thinking will have real substance, and you’ll be an engaging and credible presence.

This is a huge opportunity to make a real impact within a leading brand orientated consultancy. You’ll be working within a world class team which will enable you to take your brand strategy career to new heights.
