  • A systems thinker. You connect brand, experience, messaging, positioning, customer journeys, and measurement into cohesive strategic frameworks.
  • A collaborator. You enjoy working alongside designers, writers, architects, producers, technologists, and client partners, believing the best ideas emerge together.
  • Curious by nature. You stay informed on emerging technologies, consumer behavior, AI-enabled research, innovation, and cultural shifts because understanding what's next is part of your craft.

You Will...

  • Lead strategic discovery and research for complex client engagements.
  • Develop brand positioning, messaging frameworks, audience definitions, customer journeys, and strategic recommendations.
  • Plan and facilitate client workshops, stakeholder interviews, and collaborative working sessions.
  • Design and execute primary and secondary research initiatives.
  • Synthesize qualitative and quantitative research into compelling insights and actionable recommendations.

  • Help shape new business opportunities by contributing strategic thinking during pitches and discovery conversations.
  • Continue evolving STRUCK's strategy processes, templates, methodologies, and thought leadership.
  • Identify opportunities to integrate emerging research methods, AI tools, and innovation practices into our strategic work.

You Have...
