Senior Strategist

Location: Nashville, TN or Remote

Department: insights - Strategy

Years’ Experience: 6 - 8 years

Reports to: VP, Strategy or above

The essence of any strategic role at Revive is to solve our clients’ business problems by developing breakthrough strategies (often by using compelling insight-driven research) and focusing the output of agency in a way that leverages its creativity and expertise to produce a positive and measurable impact.

All of the strategic roles are in service of this, and the different levels of seniority within the department reflect differences in things such as: experience and time in the job, technical ability, management and mentoring skills, developing a specific expertise within the discipline and a broader contribution to the Revive vision, values and business performance.

We want good eggs in the department. We don’t like bad apples. We want givers not takers. We want enthusiasm, open mindedness and thought leadership (we should be one the engine rooms of thought for the agency). We shouldn’t be scared of calculated risks or changes; in fact we should actively seek them out. We are champions and ambassadors for our craft. We are interesting and interested. We want people to want to hang out with us!

How might this show up in this role? The Senior Strategist should be able to take the ball and run with it, generating inputs and insights that can and will lead to great strategy and creative solutions. They will bring the team, the clients, along with them on the strategic journey. Most importantly, they understand that this is a team sport, and know when they need the support of others to do the job great.

Someone who has the right balance of both the technical skills that it takes to be a great Senior Strategist but also the human skills will exceed in this role and expand their skills and expertise along the way.
