  • Work well with creatives, media, and client engagement. Keep the wheels turning but form the connections that help you to challenge the process and the work where needed, push it further, make it better.
  • Be part of the overall Strategy craft, contributing to our discussions and thought leadership by your interest. Ready to use, experiment with and help to improve our suite of strategy tools and approaches.
  • Open the client and team's eyes to latest Strategy developments, automotive trends and interesting work.
  • To approach your work and colleagues with our agency values and principles front of mind.

  • Value generosity, ready to put teamwork first and interested in helping others to develop their skills.
  • You strive and push for the best possible strategic, creative, and commercial outcomes.
  • 5+ years' experience, including as a Senior Strategist and including some previous experience in the Automotive category
