Senior Manager, Creative Strategy - Internal Marketing Agency

We are a leading global technology consulting firm, empowering businesses to innovate, transform, and thrive in the digital age. Our internal agency team is the creative heartbeat of our brand, crafting world-class campaigns, immersive storytelling, and visually stunning experiences that captivate our clients, employees, stakeholders and marketplace at large. We are seeking an Associate Director of Creative Strategy with an uncanny ability to detect cultural undercurrents before they surface-someone who can translate emerging signals into meaningful creative directions that resonate both visually and conceptually across diverse audiences.

As Associate Director of Creative Strategy, you ll be the cultural decoder who bridges strategic relevance with creative vision for our company. Working in close partnership with our taste-making Creative Director, you ll ensure our creative executions are not just visually exceptional, but culturally resonant and strategically sound. This role demands someone who can navigate the electric third rail of culture-identifying emerging signals, understanding their significance, and translating them into meaningful creative approaches. You possess not only sharp analytical skills, but also the rare intuition to recognize what will matter tomorrow, paired with the strategic rigor to make these insights actionable for our creative teams and valuable for our audience.

In this role, you ll ensure our creative work doesn t just look exceptional but resonates meaningfully. While the Creative Director perfects craft and execution, you ll ensure these beautiful vessels carry content that matters to our audiences. You won t just shape creative briefs-you ll develop a cultural intelligence function that keeps our organization perpetually relevant in a rapidly evolving landscape. Together with the Creative Director, you ll create work that stands out not just for how it looks, but for what it says about who we are and why we matter now.
