Our Strategy team is growing and we're looking for a Senior Director to join us. The ideal candidate is an experienced consultant, has a passion for tackling big questions, and is eager to help clients understand who their customers are, what they need, and how to connect with them. This position may be located in one of our offices, or remotely within the United States.

As a leader on the strategy team, you will be responsible for overseeing a major client relationship, guiding and leading an on-going series of research and strategy initiatives, growing our business, and mentoring a team. You might touch a variety of industries: recently, our team has explored use cases and potential value prop for AR technologies, helped a leading b2b security provider launch their first consumer hardware product, and investigated the future of financial services and consumer perceptions of disruptor brands.

Specifically, you would…

• Lead a key client relationship representing $1.5-2 million in annual consulting revenue

• Identify opportunities to grow our relationship
• Lead and manage the team responsible for executing against retained work including
• Qualitative fieldwork
• Reporting
• Cross-industry insight generation
• Develop and own new client relationships
• Become a go-to thought partner for clients at key accounts
• Generate new business opportunities, represent the Strategy practice in cross-agency pitches, and develop proposals for new and existing clients
• Contribute to the growth and development of the team
• Nurture the growth of more junior team members
• Proactively identify opportunities and own work-streams to drive improvement in team processes, training, and culture
  

We're hoping you have…

• 7+ years at one of the following:
• A quality Strategy or Consulting company (eg. McKinsey, Strategy&, Accenture, etc.) with a B2B focus
• As an analyst in the financial sector covering B2B or B2C
• In a strategy or corporate development role inside a 1000+ employee company
• A B2B technology company (startup or established) in a Product or Strategy role
• An Ad Agency in a Strategy or Insights role focused on B2B clients
• Fluency in talking about strategic B2B problems, interpreting complex, ambiguous concepts and technology applications, and distilling them into crisp narratives
• An ability to produce high-quality, client-ready deliverables on time with minimal review or supervision from others
• Concise, insight-focused writing and a sharp attention to detail
• Moderation experience - in-depth interviews and/or focus groups - and superb communication and presentation skills
• A strong work ethic - you will often work with limited supervision and will be expected to deliver exceptional work
• A high level of proficiency with Microsoft Office & Google Workspace
  

A Bit About The Strategy Team...

We like to think we are fun, smart, creative, and insightful … all the stuff every team likes to think about itself, but we'll let you be the judge. We come from different backgrounds but we're all fascinated by people and excited by ideas. We love to get into the weeds of everything, hack our way through to something meaningful, and connect the dots to craft stories that move people. We take our work seriously, but not ourselves. And ultimately, we relish in the process of making things great (maybe that sounds cheesy… but it's true).
