About the Opportunity

We're looking for a Strategist to join our newly formed Creative & Strategy Development (CSD) function - an inter-team force built to elevate Collectively's most competitive, high-stakes, and strategically ambitious work.

As a core member of CSD, you'll help shape the thinking behind our biggest opportunities: competitive RFPs, big-bet pitches, multi-platform campaigns, and high-visibility client initiatives. You'll bring an understanding of audience behavior, platform culture, and creator ecosystems to build strategic foundations that unlock culturally resonant creative ideas. This role sits within a hybrid Business Development + Client Strategy team, offering a unique vantage point at the intersection of creative thinking, strategic insight, and growth-driving business impact.

CSD partners closely with Creative, Business Development, Client Partnerships, and Analytics to bring clarity, craft, and cultural fluency to every RFP - and as the team grows, this role will help shape what "best-in-class" looks like for our strategy discipline.

• Transform research into launch pads - Go beyond data collection to find real truths and cultural tensions that become strategic springboards, translating insights into opportunities and narratives that jumpstart the work.
• Connect strategy and creative - Partner hand-in-hand with Creative, participating in ideation sessions and shaping concepts from strategic seed to fully formed campaign idea - both strategic architect and creative catalyst.
• Drive cross-functional partnership - Work with Business Development and Client Partnerships to connect strategy to business outcomes across new opportunities and key client programs, translating strategy into the language each audience needs.
• Stay tapped into trends - Support trend reporting and POV development, contributing to playbooks and materials that keep clients ahead in the creator space.

• Proven track record building social-first or creator-led strategies that drive results
