About The Role

Our Corporate Positioning & Insights (CPI&I) practice is seeking a Senior Creative Strategist to lead high-impact, integrated creative engagements across industries. This role sits at the intersection of strategy, storytelling, and execution — shaping client narratives, driving creative direction, and contributing meaningfully to business growth.

This is a senior client-facing position requiring strong client leadership, new business experience, and the ability to guide projects from insight through execution.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead creative strategy across complex, multi-channel client engagements.
  • Serve as a senior client-facing lead, shaping conversations and advising on creative and content direction.
  • Translate research, positioning, and business objectives into differentiated, audience-first creative platforms.
  • Own projects end-to-end, ensuring strategic alignment, quality, timelines, and financial performance.
  • Lead the integration of AI-enabled tools and emerging technologies into creative and content workflows to drive efficiency, insight generation, and innovation.
  • Direct cross-functional teams to deliver integrated campaigns across digital, print, and multimedia channels.
  • Lead workshops, working sessions, and executive presentations.
  • Drive creative strategy for new business pursuits, including pitch development and proposal storytelling.
  • Identify risks and opportunities, providing proactive strategic guidance to clients.
  • Mentor and elevate junior team members, strengthening overall creative excellence.
  • Stay ahead of evolving digital trends, platform shifts, and audience behaviors to ensure CPI’s creative offering remains differentiated and future-ready.

How You’ll Grow

We are committed to investing and supporting you in your professional development and we have developed a range of programs focused on fostering leadership, growth and development opportunities. We aim to promote continuous learning and individual skills development through on-the-job learning, self-guided professional development courses and certifications.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
