Uncover & Apply Insights: Collaborate with Decision Sciences and Audience Intelligence to identify high-value customer segments, map customer decision journeys, and define unifying brand ideas that guide omnichannel engagement.
Ensure Executional Excellence: Support consistency and quality across all strategy-led initiatives, monitor adherence to strategic frameworks, and contribute to a continuous learning culture that optimizes strategy effectiveness in real-time.
Forge Strategic Partnerships: Maintain high-impact relationships with key platform partners (Google, Meta, Amazon, TikTok, healthcare data providers), translating innovations into strategic advantages for our clients.

What You'll Bring:

Experience: 7-8+ years of experience in marketing strategy, media planning, digital strategy, or a related field, ideally within the pharmaceutical, healthcare, or highly regulated industries.
Strategic Acumen: A proven track record of contributing to and supporting the development of commercially-driven, outcome-focused strategies that deliver measurable business results.
Omnichannel & Digital Expertise: Hands-on experience across paid, owned, and earned media, eCommerce, programmatic, and emerging technologies, with a deep understanding of marketing technology.
Data Literacy & Analytics: Ability to interpret complex data sets and transform them into actionable marketing strategies, including familiarity with AI-driven insights and attribution modeling.
Collaboration & Communication: Strong teamwork skills, with the ability to effectively communicate and simplify complex ideas into compelling narratives.
Customer Journey & Behavioral Science: Deep understanding of customer journeys and behavioral science.
Agility & Experimentation: A mindset of continuous learning, testing, and refining strategies based on performance signals.
Multi-Disciplinary Knowledge: Experience working across at least two or more marketing disciplines (e.g., omnichannel media, brand strategy, performance marketing, analytics, content strategy).
