About the Role

As a Strategy Director, you will lead and shape the strategic thinking across our regional and global client portfolio in the Netherlands, bridging brand transformation, modern social-first marketing, and lifecycle programs. You will turn complex business goals into clear, actionable frameworks, taking full ownership of the strategy roadmap and guiding creative execution across cross-functional teams. Sitting at the heart of our Netherlands regional pod, you will partner directly with senior client stakeholders and managing leaders to deliver innovative, measurable strategies.

Responsibilities:

  • Strategic Direction & Brand Transformation: Lead end-to-end account and program strategies, ranging from long-term brand positioning and architecture to lifecycle marketing, demand generation, customer journey mapping, and growth/retention initiatives.
  • Content & Social Platform Strategy: Set up and oversee content and platform-native strategies across Meta, TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat, and X, aligning messaging, influencer approaches, community engagement, and campaign plans to client objectives and audience needs.
  • Client Advisory & Thought Leadership: Serve as a trusted strategic leader in client communications, delivering high-impact insight, identifying market trends and growth opportunities, and guiding senior stakeholders through strategic roadmaps and business choices.
  • Creative Workshops & Inspiring Briefs: Facilitate collaborative workshops and brainstorming sessions with internal teams and clients. Translate complex research, business goals, and data into concise, inspiring briefs for creative, media, and tech partners.
  • Audience Insights, Audits & Optimization: Audit existing campaigns, digital assets, and customer experiences. Distill actionable insights from data, social listening, and audience research to continuously refine and optimise performance.
  • Measurement, Testing & Impact: Drive comprehensive test plans and key performance indicator (KPI) frameworks to measure, evaluate, and report on the effectiveness of strategic initiatives and integrated marketing campaigns.
  • Collaboration & Team Mentorship: Champion internal collaboration across fast-paced deliverables while providing direct line management, guidance, and mentorship to mid-level strategists.

About You

The essentials:

  • Experience: 10+ years of experience in brand, digital, or communications strategy, with strong expertise in agency environments leading cross-functional teams.
  • Language Proficiency: Professional fluency in both Dutch and English is required.
  • Core Skillsets: Proven track record across both modern social-first campaign strategy and larger-scale brand transformation or positioning engagements.
  • Channel & Integrated Expertise: Ability to craft integrated strategies across owned, earned, and paid digital channels, including content, email, web, social, and digital product touchpoints.
  • Leadership & Collaboration: Strong presentation and narrative-building skills, with the confidence to advise senior client leaders and guide mid-level team members.
  • Cultural Curiosity: A curious mind with a genuine passion for pop and tech culture, from global trends to the Dutch scene: entertainment, music, creators, memes, moments that start conversations and shape behaviors. You know how to turn cultural fluency into ideas that feel native, timely and relevant to audiences.

Not a must, but a plus:

  • AI & Workflows: Experience with embedded AI tools, orchestration, and automated workflows in strategy.
  • Consumer Experience Strategy: Background or experience in CX/UX strategy, customer journey mapping, or experience-first agency setups.
  • B2B & Enterprise Contexts: Familiarity with B2B marketing strategy, enterprise client models, or complex technology sectors.

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.
