Central London
£60-85K
4 days a week onsite
We’re hiring a Senior Strategist for an independent branding and design agency based in Central London.
We’re looking for a strategic thinker who wants more than just delivery—someone excited by the opportunity to help define and shape a branding and design agency’s strategic offer from the ground up.
This is a pivotal role. You’ll lead brand strategy across positioning, messaging, naming, and portfolio work—you’ll also help build the frameworks, and ways of working that define how strategy operates across the agency.
This role will work super closely with agency leadership to evolve how they strengthen client relationships and develop commercial opportunities.
What you’ll be doing
* Defining and developing strategic offering, tools, and methodologies
* Leading brand strategy across positioning, messaging, naming, and activation
* Translating insight into clear, compelling creative direction
* Running workshops and leading strategic conversations with clients
* Partnering with creative teams to elevate output and thinking
* Contributing to new business and pitch-winning work
* Supporting the growth and development of a future strategy team
What we’re looking for
* Strong experience in brand strategy within a creative or design-led agency
* Ability to move between big-picture thinking and hands-on delivery
* Confidence leading client conversations and shaping strategic direction
* A natural collaborator with creatives and designers
* Commercial awareness and interest in agency growth
* Experience building or improving strategic frameworks is a strong plus
What makes this role different
This isn’t just a “senior” strategy role. You’ll be shaping how strategy is done - a pivotal role.
If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
