Senior Creative Strategist

A burgeoning boutique brand strategy and design consultancy have an opening for a talented brand strategist to lead the creative strategic thinking, for their innovative range of cross sector clients. Working closely with their team of creatives, you will be their principal strategist, alongside their existing Executive strategy lead. To be considered for this role, you will have at least 3 years’ experience of strategic leadership with your clients, as a senior brand strategist, working not only on clearly defined briefs but also demonstrable evidence that you have the ability to work on a range of amorphous projects and to turn them into structured pieces of work.  We are looking for someone who can lead their thinking around brands and is full of fresh ideas and perspectives. There is an existing senior person who currently leads on strategy, this director wants to focus their energy elsewhere in their business, so the vacancy is effectively a Head of Strategy opening. However, we are not looking for an existing strategy director, but someone at senior strategist level, who now wants to step up and own the strategic thinking at a high quality boutique consultancy.

This is a rare career opening for a highly talented and ambitious senior brand strategist,  looking to assume strategic responsibility for an up and coming creative agency.
