About the Role

We are looking for a sharp, hungry, ambitious, multi-faceted Engagement Strategy Director to lead omnichannel planning for key clients, spanning CRM strategy, website, social content, and display. This role involves developing activation briefs, tactical plans, connected journeys, and playbooks, while shaping content and communications strategy and defining audience-inspired channel roles. The Director will also manage and develop a junior strategist, contributing to the growth of the engagement strategy discipline.

Responsibilities

  • Lead day-to-day engagement strategy for two key clients across CRM, website, social, and display, connecting audience behavior insight into a clear strategic narrative.
  • Design connected engagement ecosystems and define audience-inspired channel roles and goals.
  • Build engagement strategy playbooks and plans, partnering with Brand Strategy and Medical Strategy, and with Research & Insights and Analytics teams on data-informed strategy and measurement.
  • Serve as the go-to cross-functional partner for engagement strategy on the account, partnering with Account, Creative, Brand Strategy, and Medical Strategy.
  • Help shape content and communications strategy, bringing an audience-inspired point of view to how ideas and key messages best come to life.
  • Facilitate workshops, journey mapping sessions, and strategic working meetings.
  • Manage and develop one junior strategist, providing day-to-day guidance, feedback, and growth opportunities.
  • Mentor junior strategists across the broader practice, modeling curiosity, kindness, collaboration, and continuous building.

Requirements

  • 6–10 years of experience in engagement strategy, omnichannel strategy, or a related discipline.
  • Significant healthcare, pharmaceutical, biotech, or healthcare agency experience required.
  • A data-driven storyteller passionate about connecting audience behaviors to how we can move and shape them.
  • Real depth across the omnichannel mix - web, social, display, and CRM - with specific fluency in CRM strategy.
  • Experience helping shape content and communications strategy, including defining channel roles and goals grounded in audience insight.
  • Demonstrated experience managing and developing people, having directly managed at least one direct report.
  • Strong presentation, storytelling, and facilitation skills.
