Senior Strategist

Senior Strategist – Creative Agency – NY
  
A young, fully independent creative agency is looking for a Senior Strategist to join their fast-growing team here in New York. This person will be a key member of a brand new strategy team, responsible not only for delivering on the highest quality work for clients but helping create a strategic vision and roadmap, best practices, and agency culture as they continue to expand.
  
The Sr. Strategist will report directly into the Head of Strategy and be experienced enough to lead day-to-day client relationships as required, manage multiple projects and workstreams with some senior support, and be seen by clients as the knowledge holder and earn their trust. You will also be responsible for cultivating organic growth within existing accounts as well as contribute to new business efforts and building your expertise. Eventually, you will oversee and mentor junior talent as the team grows, fostering a positive and strong work community, and helping guide their professional development. The Senior Strategist has an entrepreneurial spirit that is collaborative and innovative, striving to inspire and always doing great work both the agency and client will be proud of.
  
Diversity of background as well as thought is championed here, and this is a completely greenfield opportunity to forge a very new strategy team and practice, ideal for someone who desires to be challenged and extremely hands-on to take control of their own destiny. Sky is very much the limit. People who succeed will be change-agents, unafraid to push the boundaries and make an impact. You will enjoy a fair degree of autonomy and help build something from the ground up.
  
They are currently operating on a hybrid working model.
