About the Role

We are looking for an experienced Digital Strategist to join our Social & Content team, helping turn complex client challenges into clear, actionable strategies. This is a consultative role where you will work closely with clients to understand their objectives, challenge assumptions, and translate business and marketing goals into practical recommendations. You will take ownership of strategic projects, focusing on helping brands identify target audiences, optimize efforts, grow and engage audiences, and select content to achieve objectives.

Responsibilities

Lead the development of social and content strategies across a portfolio of B2B and B2C clients.
Translate broad or ambiguous client briefs into clearly defined objectives, strategic priorities and actionable recommendations.
Develop audience strategies that identify who clients need to reach, what motivates those audiences and how brands can build meaningful relationships with them.
Define the role of different social channels within the wider customer journey, recommending where clients should focus their time, content and investment.
Create channel strategies and audience growth plans across organic and paid social ecosystems.
Use audience research, social listening, competitor analysis, platform data and cultural insight to inform strategic direction.
Turn strategic recommendations into focused creative briefs, working closely with designers, content creators and other specialists to guide the development of effective work.
Partner with the Paid Media team to ensure organic content, paid amplification, targeting and channel investment work together effectively.
Work closely with Client Services to maintain strategic alignment, support client relationships and identify opportunities to add further value.
Establish measurement frameworks and meaningful KPIs that connect social and content activity to wider marketing and business objectives.
Interpret campaign and channel performance, moving beyond reporting to explain what the results mean and what should happen next.
Present strategies, insights and recommendations to clients and senior stakeholders.
Support and mentor Associate Strategists, helping them strengthen their research, analysis and strategic thinking.
Stay informed about platform developments, algorithm changes, emerging formats, audience behaviours and wider cultural trends.

Requirements

3-5 years of experience in digital marketing, social media, content strategy or a closely related discipline, gained within an agency, consultancy or in-house marketing team.
A grounding in social and content strategy, with examples of strategies or campaigns you have helped shape and deliver.
Experience turning client or stakeholder needs into clear, practical and evidence-based recommendations.
Knowledge of audience growth, channel planning, content distribution and the role different social platforms play within a broader marketing strategy.
A consultative mindset, with a focus on listening, asking thoughtful questions and understanding a client’s challenge.
Experience working directly with clients and presenting recommendations to marketing teams and senior stakeholders.
Experience challenging a brief constructively and explaining your thinking without becoming overly theoretical or prescriptive.
Written and presentation expertise, with experience building a convincing strategic narrative.
Experience working with data; ability to interpret dashboards, recognise patterns and turn performance data into useful recommendations.
An understanding of how organic social, content and paid media work together to reach and influence audiences.
Experience working with creative or design teams and writing briefs that translate strategy into focused creative direction.
An understanding of how social and content can support different stages of the customer journey and different business objectives.
Knowledge of the B2B social and content landscape. Experience working across both B2B and B2C brands would be beneficial.
Organisational experience and experience managing projects, deadlines and client requirements.
A collaborative working style and experience building productive relationships across Strategy, Client Services, Design, Content and Paid Media teams.
