Strategy Partner

Job Title:
Strategy Partner

Job Description:

We are looking for a Strategy Partner who can lead on major clients and pitches.

We are after someone who is a big picture thinker and a natural collaborator. Carat is a front door to the One Dentsu network. This is a real differentiator for us - and our partnerships with Merkle in particular has been at the heart of an outstanding recent new business record. For the clients you work on, you will be the person that sets the overall strategy and knits all of this together. Internally, you will draw different people together, and thrive in being part of an enjoyable, collaborative process.

We are after someone who empathetic, curious, and able to generate (or spot) fresh insight. At the heart of Carat's approach lies a deep understanding of real people - how they live their lives, how they choose brands, and how they interact with media and technology. Our mantra is "Designing for people" - and we need fresh, holistic insight to drive our work.

We are after a natural people person who can gain the respect of senior clients, but also inspire junior people and help them feel good about themselves.

We are after someone who can cut through, who has the ability to keep things simple and actionable amid all the potential complexity.

And we are after someone who pushes for more, who is ambitious for the work, who does not accept things the way they have already been done, and who is intrigued by the emerging opportunities of the marketing landscape, in media and beyond. Our toolkit and the breadth of our offer is innovative and class-leading, and we need someone who can help us stay on the front foot.

This person might have held a senior strategic role in a media agency; but might also have held a senior strategic role in a through the line creative agency, client organisation or data and insight company. Basically if you read the above and think that's you, we would love to hear from you.

You will lead the thinking on a couple of clients - exact portfolio tbc. You will lead or contribute to major pitches. You will provide a spark to your fellow strategists as they grapple with defining their own client challenges. And, as a senior member of the strategy department, you will help shape general strategic approaches and solutions we deploy, and up the strategic game of the agency as a whole.
