Strategy Executive Director

Description:

The strategy department are the champions of planning within the agency. We are the architects of OMD Design, our end-to-end process, and responsible for its use across the agency. As a result, we are the bridge for most workstreams at OMD, from audience and behavioural insights to communications frameworks, opportunities for innovation, best in class channel execution and cutting-edge measurement.

Strategists are traditionally deployed to one primary account alongside a variety of smaller brands who require support on a seasonal basis. Time is also put aside to work on central agency projects from marketing and thought leadership to new business and live pitches.

OMD operates a specialist first structure, meaning that strategists report into other strategists rather than client services. We believe this ensures our people have the greatest opportunity for growth by being closely connected to their peers and relevant seniors. Obviously, strategists are still assessed against their contribution to client work and collaboration with client teams, meaning they are effectively a member of multiple departments and have to be able to collaborate with all.

In turn you will have the support of a department filled with brilliant thinkers, supported by a leadership team who believe in the value of strategy and its importance within the agency.
