Strategy Director

Strategy Director

Bristol or London Permanent Full-time Hybrid

We're looking for an experienced Strategy Director who combines strong strategic communications expertise with the leadership skills and commercial awareness to make a real impact across the business.

This is a senior role with responsibility for leading and developing a small team, including two direct reports, while also galvanising and influencing the wider team. We're looking for someone who can bring people together around a shared vision, develop the capabilities of those around them and create an environment where great strategic thinking can thrive. You'll be as comfortable coaching and developing individuals as you are leading client conversations and shaping business strategy.

Commercially, you'll understand how to build strong client relationships, identify opportunities to grow accounts and contribute to new business. You'll be confident spotting where strategic thinking can add value, developing propositions and helping turn opportunities into successful client relationships. This is about more than delivering great work; it's about helping the business grow.

You'll lead strategic client engagements, bringing together research, audience insight, stakeholder interviews, workshops and competitive analysis to shape positioning, narratives, messaging and content strategies. You'll be confident challenging assumptions, asking the right questions and helping clients work out what they really need to say, not simply taking their initial brief at face value.

A dedicated strategy background is essential for this role. We're looking for someone who has held a specific strategy position and has substantial experience leading strategic communications work within B2B and corporate environments. You'll have a strong track record in developing narratives, positioning and messaging, and helping organisations clarify what they need to say and how best to communicate it. This requires genuine depth of experience in strategic communications, rather than a broader marketing or communications background where strategy has been just one part of the role.

You'll also play an important role in developing the agency's strategic capability, building methodologies and raising the standard of strategic thinking across the team.

The practical details

• Based in Bristol or London
