Overview SENIOR DIGITAL STRATEGIST Digital Strategy | Audience Insight | Customer Journeys | Effectiveness THE OPPORTUNITY Telecommunications is one of the most dynamic categories in the market, sitting at the intersection of technology, culture, connectivity, customer experience and everyday life. This role offers the opportunity to work with a leading telecommunications client and help shape the next generation of its agency partnership. We are building a connected, future-fit model that brings together creativity, intelligence, data, technology, AI and world-class execution around the customer. It is an opportunity to influence the work and the capabilities we build, creating a partnership designed for today’s challenges and what comes next. ROLE PURPOSE The Senior Digital Strategist defines how digital channels, content and customer experiences work together to deliver the client’s business and brand objectives. The role turns research, audience behaviour and performance evidence into clear strategic choices for campaigns and always-on activity. The strategist leads recommendations across the digital ecosystem, helping Creative, Content, Media and Technology translate strategy into effective work. The role provides senior client counsel, connects brand building with customer action and develops responsible applications of AI in research and strategic planning. Responsibilities AUDIENCE AND BUSINESS UNDERSTANDING Interrogate briefs, business objectives, customer needs and competitive activity to identify the problem digital must help solve. Analyse research, search behaviour, channel performance and cross-device journeys to reveal barriers and opportunities. Conduct content and experience gap analyses and turn findings into prioritised strategic recommendations. DIGITAL STRATEGY AND CHANNEL PLANNING Define the role of digital channels across awareness, engagement, consideration and conversion, with clear audience and communication priorities. Develop strategic briefs, content direction and campaign frameworks that connect paid, owned and earned activity. Partner with Content on editorial calendars and tone, with Media on distribution, and with UX and Technology on the customer experience. CREATIVE PARTNERSHIP AND EXECUTION Translate strategic thinking into useful creative territories and platform guidance; contribute copy or content direction where required. Present and defend recommendations, explaining the evidence and trade-offs behind channel, format and messaging choices. Guide delivery teams through development and reviews so execution remains aligned to the agreed strategy and customer journey. MEASUREMENT AND STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP Define meaningful KPIs and measurement approaches with analytics and media specialists, linked to the client’s objectives. Interpret campaign and always-on results, recommend tests and use learning to improve future strategy. Build trusted client relationships, contribute to pitches and share research methods, digital insight and emerging practices with colleagues. AI CAPABILITY AND FUTURE WAYS OF WORKING Use approved AI to accelerate research synthesis, scenario development and strategic exploration; test assumptions against reliable evidence and coach colleagues to distinguish generated hypotheses from verified insight. Demonstrate effective prompting, iteration and critical evaluation. Use only approved tools and data, protect client information and intellectual property, and retain human accountability for final work. Share practical learning, recognise tool limitations and measure improvements in quality, speed or effectiveness; escalate uncertain or inappropriate outputs. MEASURES OF SUCCESS Clear digital strategies grounded in audience and business understanding. Integrated briefs and channel choices that guide effective creative and execution. Useful measurement and optimisation linked to agreed outcomes. AI-enabled strategic work that improves research efficiency without compromising evidence quality.

Why it works

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.
