You’ll get a chance to develop the strategy team by onboarding and leading strategists and supporting team-wide initiatives, develop and uphold the level of social-first strategy in the agency.

You'll report to a Strategy Director, but take total responsibility for your projects. We don’t specialise in any particular sector, meaning any given brief presents completely new challenges and opportunities.

- Confidently educating and selling strategy to clients and senior stakeholders in workshops, and developing relationships within senior client teams
- Contributing to the long term health of key accounts by consulting on projects and campaign work to deliver best-in-class, social-first creative output
- Working with Seniors/Directors/Heads Of to evolve processes to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the strategy team and relevant account teams, through team education and agency-wide thought-leadership
Supporting the hiring and onboarding of new strategists, and taking on their people leadership when required

**Who we're looking for**:

- You've got a minimum of 3-4 years agency experience in a strategy or account planning role (ideally working with FMCG and alcohol brands)
- You have a deep understanding of social media and how it can be harnessed for a variety of businesses with a track record of delivering industry leading, social-first work
- You've got a proven ability to conduct in-depth research and develop actionable insights
- You understand various strategy + insight frameworks
- You have a proven ability to develop engaging strategic narratives for industry-leading brands and take clients on a journey to sell your thinking
- You have a keen interest in team development, people and leadership
You've got strong deck writing, formatting and presentation skills
