We’re looking for an experienced strategist, someone equally comfortable partnering with a
client to get to a solution as they are collaborating with accounts and creative to find a more
interesting solution to a problem, and a more impactful expression of an idea.

A successful Director, Strategy candidate will report directly to the VP Strategy, acting as day-
to-day lead on key clients and projects, as well as supporting the overall direction, process, and
collaboration across the strategy department at Diamond.

The right candidate will have a broad range of strategy experience and be as comfortable
talking creative briefs as they are go-to-market plans. They will bring a thoughtful, strategic point
of view to a range of brands, categories, and consumers. The most important thing we’re
looking for is someone who can blend smart strategic thinking with an ambition to find new and
better ways to solve problems.

Responsibilities:

• Day to day management of strategic projects and deliverables
• Ability to work directly with clients and develop relationships accordingly

• Support clients on the development of consumer and creative research methodologies,
analysis of results, and implications/opportunities
• Lead strategic client collaboration, including: Workshops, strategy presentations, and
stakeholder interviews

Qualifications:

Great strategists can come from nearly any background, and some of the best start out with
very non-traditional experience. While advertising and marketing experience is a key factor, we
are looking for people with demonstrated success in simplifying and presenting complex
concepts, ideas and problems to deliver compelling solutions.

• 6+ years of experience in strategy-related roles, primarily in agencies
• Background in brand strategy, 360 creative/campaign development, and tactical
campaign planning
• High comfort level with research and data, both quantitative and qualitative
• Current understanding of trends and best practices in marketing strategy
• Able to think in ‘integrated’; not just great executions, but great experiences across an
ecosystem
• Strong and enthusiastic presenter, with the ability to craft simple, compelling and
impactful presentations
• Relentlessly curious, able to shift between theory and practice, and excited to learn at
every possible opportunity
• Ability to work across different groups and disciplines to develop creative that will help
clients achieve brand and business success
• Comfortable leading strategic projects with minimal oversight, using a solutions-oriented
mindset and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment

services company? We truly appreciate everyone’s interest but only those selected for an
interview will be contacted. We offer a competitive compensation package with enviable
