Bernadette is the experience arm of the VCCP Partnership. We invent, make and iterate products and services for our clients across all areas of their digital eco-system.

We are 100 strong and are full service within our own right. We have specialists across UX, Design and Motion, Technology & Engineering, Content and Comms, Project Management, Data Analysis, Strategy (experience & comms) and Ops. All dedicated to creating customer experiences worth talking about. Check out what we do here.

The VCCP Partnership as a whole is an integrated communications agency set up in 2002 by Charles (V), Rooney (C), Adrian (C) and Ian (P), who founded the agency on the principles of simplicity, collaboration, un-preciousness and integration around ideas rather than channels.

Across the Partnership, we work with a broad spectrum of clients where our work transcends the marketing mix, leading everything from social media or launch campaigns to DM and web build.

OUR CULTURE:

The VCCP Partnership has a unique culture, and we are looking for people who will make a positive contribution to this, therefore the candidate must have the following attributes:

Take pride in their work
Have an honest approach
Be un-precious and be able to recognise that a good idea can come from anywhere
Take responsibility

ABOUT THE ROLE:

We are seeking a Senior Strategist to join our strategy team on a freelance basis for a 2 – 3 month engagement to work on an exciting new digital experience project for a new client.

Working in a multidisciplinary team with our UX and UI designers, developers, and project managers you will have the opportunity to use your full range of strategic thinking and doing skills.

You will be passionate and knowledgeable about the world of digital experience and design and have a strong grasp of the digital ecosystem and the impact of paid, owned and earned digital channels for customers and client brands.

Key to success of the role will be your ability to bridge between strategy and execution, finding the right balance between big picture strategic thinking and a tactical mindset to turn those visions into reality.

Whilst an understanding of comms is important, we are not looking for a Brand Planner, applicants should be experienced in digital experience strategy.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

Analysis of client documentation, strategies and performance to understand the current customer base and ecosystem
Conducting desk and possibly primary research to identify key needs and trends and connect these with client goals and opportunities
Identify insights into cross-ecosystem journeys and help to build a picture of the ‘As Is’ state
Building a strategic framework or vision to articulate the opportunity and direction of the project
Facilitating workshops to bring clarity and direction to client and internal teams
Collaborate with the UX/UI design, development, and delivery teams to develop a view of the future ecosystem and customer journeys and identify solutions to bring this to life
Advise client on measurement best practices to help drive continuous improvement
Translate the strategy and vision into an actionable, prioritised roadmap that considers the experience we want to deliver and the client capability required to deliver it
Develop compelling presentations to put forward our recommendations

ABOUT YOU:

Strong foundation in digital experience with a passion for delivering value & user-centric solutions
Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills
Ability to work comfortably with ambiguity and ability to make sense of complex client challenges
Strong facilitation and presentation skills for senior audiences (internal and client stakeholders)
Data literacy and experience working with and briefing data analysts
Proficiency in developing product roadmaps (and backlogs) to turn strategy into execution
Understanding of what is needed to inform high-level business cases

EXPERIENCE & CAPABILITIES:

A solid number of years in a similar role within an agency or client-side
Experience working in Agile/Iterative based projects
Preferred experience working in fast-paced digital agencies
Ability to work with data, UX and design, technical and delivery teams to deliver high quality work

ATTITUDE:

Curious about trends, consumer behaviour, and technology
Resilient and proactive in a fast-paced environment
A natural team player – willing and able to lend a hand
Comfortable developing your ideas in a team
