Strategist in Remote

We're delighted to be partnering with an award-winning creative agency known for delivering insight-led brand and communications work for an impressive portfolio of clients. As part of their continued growth, they are seeking an ambitious Strategist to join their team.

This is a newly created position, offering an outstanding opportunity for a strategically minded individual who thrives at the intersection of consumer insight, culture, creativity, and commercial thinking.

As Strategist, you will play a central role in shaping the thinking that drives creative excellence. Acting as the voice of the consumer within the agency, you will uncover meaningful insights, help define communication strategies, and work closely with both clients and creative teams to turn strategic thinking into impactful work.

You’ll take ownership of projects, contribute to larger strategic challenges, and help ensure every creative idea is grounded in insight, relevance, and measurable business impact.

Key Responsibilities

• Partner with clients and internal teams to understand business challenges, audience behaviour, and communications objectives
• Lead research and insight generation across qualitative and quantitative methodologies

• Work closely with creative teams throughout development, offering strategic guidance and constructive challenge
• Manage smaller projects autonomously while supporting more complex, multi-stakeholder accounts
• Support campaign evaluation, effectiveness analysis, and strategic learning
• Stay connected to emerging cultural, behavioural, and industry trends

We’re looking for someone who combines sharp analytical thinking with genuine creative curiosity. You’ll likely bring experience from an agency, consultancy, brand, or insight-led environment and be ready to take the next step in your strategic career.

You will demonstrate:

• A natural curiosity about people, brands, culture, and behaviour
• Strong analytical capability with the ability to translate data into compelling narratives
• Confidence presenting ideas to clients and internal stakeholders
• Excellent communication and storytelling skills
• Strong organisation and the ability to manage multiple priorities
• A collaborative style and the confidence to influence creative output positively
• A growing understanding of how strategy drives commercially effective communications

You'll be regularly out visiting clients across the UK, so a driving licence is required.

This is an opportunity to join a highly respected agency where strategy sits at the heart of the creative process. You’ll work on diverse brands, collaborate with talented specialists, and help shape work that genuinely moves audiences and businesses forward.

• £ depending on experience and disclosed upon application
