Wunderdogs is an independent creative agency with a remote-first team across the U.S., Canada, and Europe. We provide beginning-to-end strategy, design and web services to forward-thinking brands in the technology space, from startups to established companies.
We’re looking for an experienced Brand Strategist to join our fully remote team to work on a variety of projects for our clients in the U.S. and across the globe.
Overview
From re-brands to website builds, no two Wunderdogs projects are the same: if you’re a strategist with a love for tech brands, someone who thrives on variety and enjoys a challenge, our work will keep you inspired.
At Wunderdogs, we work extensively with high-growth startups and established technology organizations that demand speed, efficiency, and simple yet effective creative solutions. We work across multiple sectors, predominantly with a tech focus. Therefore, we look for those with experience in building brands within a B2B environment and often those with technical products. These are teams that seek effective solutions but a sense of flair and creative experimentation to ensure they break through in their categories.
We’re looking for a brand strategist excited by the opportunity to support our team in growing our strategy practice and elevating our work to the next level. Our ideal candidate is someone who can work independently, is a self-starter who understands the importance and impact that a strong customer-led strategy can have on creative work. We’re looking for someone adept at working in a high-paced environment and with teams of exceptionally smart, passionate (and sometimes stubborn) people - startup founders.
This role reports directly to our Head of Strategy and Creative and works in tandem with design, marketing, and client management. We are a startup ourselves, and Wunderdogs is a great place for independent thinkers who value team collaboration.
You will be joining us during an exciting time and will be working on multiple client projects simultaneously. Our team is entrepreneurial, smart, hard-working, and fun - Wunderdogs is a challenging yet very rewarding workplace, one where your effort and passion can make a real difference to our clients.
