Head of Strategy - B2B Agency
Job Description
Our client, a growing agency, is hiring a Head of Strategy...
You will start close to the work: owning customer accounts, building strategies, launching campaigns, running reviews, and getting deep into how we work. From there, you will partner directly with the CEO to turn that work into playbooks, systems, training, and a high-performing strategy team.
Today, you would manage a team of about 3-5 strategists and media buyers. Over time, you will help grow this into a 20+ person strategy organization.
This is a hands-on leadership role. You will not just manage the work. You will do the work first, define what great looks like with the CEO, and then hire and train others to do it at a high bar.
You will partner with the CEO to define:
What you will do
Own customer strategy directly
Build the strategy function
Manage, hire, and train the team
Improve the product
Who you are
Why this role is special
If you want ownership, pace, and the chance to build the strategy function from the ground up, we would love to meet you.
