Job description

Who we are... In a nutshell

Ramarketing is an international marketing agency specializing in life sciences. We help clients grow their businesses by enhancing their marketing, design, content, and PR strategies. With offices in the UK, US, and Canada, and over 70 global industry experts, we deliver B2B solutions that drive genuine growth.

We believe strategy is about more than just big plans — it’s about helping our clients grow in ways that make sense for their business and their audience. By combining clear thinking with fresh ideas, we work closely with life science brands to navigate challenges, spot new opportunities, and bring their ambitions to life in practical, meaningful ways.

Your Role...

As a Strategy Manager at ramarketing, you’ll play a pivotal role in crafting brand, marketing, communications, and commercial strategies for life science companies—helping them sharpen their positioning, reach the right audiences, and grow with confidence.

This is a great opportunity if you’re passionate about brand strategy and messaging, but curious enough to stretch into broader business consulting, shaping not just how clients show up, but how they evolve.

This role is ideal if you have experience in a fast-paced agency environment—bonus points if that’s in B2B or life sciences—and you’re motivated to deliver standout value across high-profile projects while also managing your client accounts and strategic initiatives.

You’ll be supported by a Strategy Lead and collaborate closely with our Customer Experience (Cx), Creative, and Digital teams. If you’re excited by the chance to help shape a growing strategy function within an ambitious, global agency, this is for you.

What does a Strategy Manager do?

Leading Strategic Thinking

• Own and deliver client strategy projects across strategic discovery, brand development, audience targeting, and go-to-market planning.

• Create and evolve strategic assets like value propositions, messaging frameworks, and launch roadmaps.

• Contribute to the growth of our strategic offer in areas such as internal comms, investor comms, and commercial storytelling.

Client Engagement & Presentation

• Act as a trusted strategic advisor, challenging client thinking and shaping decision-making.

• Present insights, strategies, and recommendations confidently to clients and stakeholders.

• Collaborate across Client Services, Creative, Cx, and Digital teams to bring strategies to life.

Research & Insight Development

• Conduct research via desk reviews, interviews, surveys, and analytics to inform strategy.

• Translate data and trends into actionable, insight-driven strategic plans.

• Stay current on life sciences industry developments to guide client and agency thinking.

Agency Growth & Enablement

• Support pitches, proposals, and new business efforts with strategic input.

• Develop reusable frameworks, methodologies, and tools to strengthen strategic delivery.

• Coach and support team members while fostering strategic thinking across the agency.

Ways of Working

• Manage multiple projects simultaneously with strong time and priority management.

• Bring curiosity and a ‘why’-driven mindset to every brief and conversation.

• Contribute to blogs, internal learning, and wider agency initiatives with a strategic lens.

What’s Important to Us...

We're looking for a curious, strategically-minded individual who thrives in a fast-paced environment and loves exploring bold ideas. You’ll bring sharp thinking, a passion for solving complex challenges, and a desire to build strong, trusted relationships with life science clients.

• Proven experience in strategy, planning, brand consultancy, or an insight-led agency role.

• Solid foundation in brand strategy: positioning, messaging, segmentation, comms planning.

• Strong written and verbal communication - can turn insight into clarity.

• Comfortable working cross-functionally and independently.

• Self-starter – you’re proactive and not afraid to take ownership of work.

• You will thrive in ambiguity and deep diving into real-life challenges to inform your strategic recommendations.

• Life sciences/health experience is a bonus - willingness to immerse yourself in the sector is a must!

Why Join Us?

At ramarketing, we genuinely care about our people. We want everyone to love what they do and feel comfortable bringing their authentic self to work. We’re 100% committed to equity, diversity, and inclusion and work hard to recruit, nurture and work with people who can contribute to our culture, expand our diversity of thought, and make ramarketing a great place to work.

We pride ourselves on prioritising our people and are committed to fostering an inclusive, supportive, and high-performing culture. Our core values—‘Have a go,’ ‘Be genuine,’ ‘Really care,’ and ‘Be canny’—guide everything we do, from how we collaborate to the world-class results we deliver for our clients.

You’ll join a team that’s collaborative, values-driven, and ambitious - but not precious. We love people who are brave enough to have a go, curious enough to ask better questions, and grounded enough to deliver world-class work with humility.
