We're looking for a Midweight Strategist driven by insight and conviction. One who isn't here to play it safe, but to help brands break from average.
About the role
You've got an appetite for big picture problems that need creative thinking to solve.
As a mid-level strategist, you reliably surface unexpected insights and fresh ideas around culture, people and commerce. You see and notice things many wouldn't. You express your point of view with clarity and simplicity.
We don't expect you to know everything, but the right personality is crucial.
You enjoy working within a collaborative, curious team and your colleagues know you to be a dependable, sleeves-rolled-up kind of person.
You have some experience running research with stakeholders or focus groups and you quickly turn desk research into valuable ideas. You're starting to own brand positioning projects and you're a natural for spotting good ideas and shaping them.
You're curious about emerging technology, and are embracing AI in a range of forms to increase the quality, rigour and impact of your strategic output.
We're committed to building a diverse, inclusive environment where everyone can feel appreciated for who they are and supported in their personal and professional growth. We encourage applications from people who may not necessarily 'fit' the typical branding agency mould. We're looking for creative people looking for something different, because we are too.
While we have a flexible approach to remote working, we have a studio-first culture. With everyone on the team spending a minimum of 24 hours a week in the studio.
About you
You're diligent, positive, and creative. Keen to use a wide frame of reference to generate and strengthen ideas.
Like most strategists, your interests and influences go beyond the world of branding and advertising.
Your talent comes without ego. You see collaboration as a way to make ideas bigger and better.
And you chase your own dreams but want to be part of something bigger.
Salary
From £45,000 depending on experience.

Our hiring process
We want every person to feel as comfortable as possible in this process so here's a run-down of how it might look and feel.
If there are any doubts you have or any adjustments you need, please just let us know.
Step 1
Online submission
Start by introducing yourself and your experience, explaining why you want to. Please include your CV, and, if you're applying for a creative role, some examples of your work.
Step 2
Getting to know you
If you've caught our attention, we'd love to jump on a call. This will be with a member of the People & Culture Team. A chance for us to get to know you better and understand what it is that excites you most.
Step 3
In-person interview
At this stage, you'll meet with a relevant Team Head or Manager at our London studio. Giving you a feel for Ragged Edge in the flesh. Here we want to catch a glimpse of how you think and your approach to work, so please bring along some examples to speak through.
Step 4
Final creative share
Following a phone check-in and briefing, you'll be invited back to our studio to present your creative share. This is an opportunity to take us deeper into your thought processes. As well as the successes and missteps that got you here. Collaboration is key, so we'll invite 5 or 6 members of different teams to join you in the room too.
Hints for difference
Be authentically you
Your ways of thinking mean more to us than where you worked last. We're looking for talent at its most genuine.
Know your work
No one does better than you. Prepare to go deep into how you formed an idea or reached a conclusion. We want to be taken along for those rides.
Stay curious
We don't find difference when we go with the flow. We find it when we ask difficult questions. Think about what you want to know from us and why.
Help us help you
Less of a hint, more of an ask. But could we have done better? Let us know in the feedback sessions. We love to listen.
