Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Lead strategic direction across brands, campaigns, and digital experiences to transform complex challenges into actionable insights. Partner with multidisciplinary teams to develop brand positioning, narratives, and creative briefs that drive measurable business outcomes.
Requires a bachelor's degree in marketing, sociology, or a related field and over 10 years of experience in brand or business strategy. Candidates must possess strong leadership skills and the ability to pass a background check for public trust clearance.
Organizations have never had more ways to reach people. More channels. More content. More data. More expertise. Yet influence remains scarce.
People decide what to trust. What to believe. What to adopt. What to join. What to ignore. The gap between what organizations intend and what people do is where growth is won or lost.
That's where strategy matters. We're looking for a Creative & Brand Strategist to help organizations navigate that gap. This is a senior leadership role for a strategist who can transform complexity into clarity, insight into direction, and direction into ideas that create measurable impact.
You'll work across brand, marketing, customer experience, communications, digital transformation, and organizational challenges - helping clients identify opportunities, define strategic choices, and create meaningful connections with the people they serve.
As a Creative & Brand Strategist, you will lead strategic development across integrated engagements that span brand, campaign, digital experience, customer engagement, and organizational transformation.
You will partner with researchers, behavioral scientists, consultants, creatives, technologists, and client leaders to uncover what drives decisions and define what should happen next.
You'll be responsible for shaping the strategic foundation behind the work: identifying opportunities, framing challenges, developing positioning, creating narratives, and inspiring ideas that move people to action.
This role requires equal comfort in the boardroom, workshop, research review, and creative briefing. You will influence executive stakeholders, guide multidisciplinary teams, and ensure strategy serves as a catalyst for both creativity and business outcomes.
You are a strategist first. You know how to uncover meaningful insights, define compelling positions, build persuasive narratives, and create strategic direction that inspires action. You understand that brands are not simply communications systems - they are systems of meaning.
You see audiences as people, not segments. You know how to connect human motivations with organizational goals. You can move comfortably between long-term brand building and immediate business priorities. Between analytical rigor and creative imagination. Between evidence, intuition, and judgment. Most importantly, you know that strategy is not about having all the answers. It's about asking the questions that reveal opportunities others miss.
Success in this role is not measured by the number of strategies created. It's measured by the decisions those strategies enable.
You will:
