Central London, United Kingdom Spark Opportunities Full time

A Superb Opportunity for an Experienced Brand Consultant

At Spark Opportunities, we combine strategic thinking with vibrant creativity to create growth. Our team specializes in the FMCG sector, focusing on food & drink, working closely with forward-thinking companies to shape some of the world's biggest brands.

The work is varied, covering both brand positioning and innovation. We define and design a brand offering to occupy a distinctive place in the target market's mind. We spot new opportunities for brands to stay relevant in a changing world, developing new product ideas and capturing this visually in packaging and beyond.

The Role

We're looking for an energetic, confident senior strategist to join our team. As Senior Strategist, you'll take overall responsibility, working with our senior team when needed but happy to own things on other occasions. You'll proactively lead workstreams, deliverables, or specific meetings, making the most of our independent agency flair.

You'll contribute to marketing content and perhaps speak at agency events, always seeking opportunities for success with clients. You'll become naturally attuned to your clients, getting that sixth sense and knowing what's going on for them and where to add value.

We're keen to attract someone able to dissect briefs and apply tools, processes, and ways of thinking to challenges, sprinkling in a bit of their own magic. You'll develop strong written creative briefs, leading internal collaboration and proactively building or challenging on creative outputs.

The salary range for this role is approximately £55,000 - £75,000 per annum, depending on experience and qualifications. We offer hybrid and flexible working, team breakfasts and socials, 25 days holiday plus Bank Holidays and Christmas shutdown, company pension scheme, healthcare plan, travel insurance, income protection insurance, life insurance, and office perks like free snacks, yoga, and happy hours.
