Job description

Job Title: Strategy Partner

Job Description:

We are seeking a Strategy Partner to lead on major clients and pitches. The ideal candidate is a big-picture thinker and a natural collaborator.

Carat serves as a front door to the One Dentsu network, offering a unique differentiator for us. Our partnerships, especially with Merkle, have contributed to an outstanding recent new business record. You will set the overall strategy for your clients and coordinate internal teams to work collaboratively and effectively.

We value someone who is empathetic, curious, and capable of generating or identifying fresh insights. Our approach at Carat is rooted in understanding real people—how they live, choose brands, and interact with media and technology. Our mantra is “Designing for people,” and we seek someone who can bring holistic insights to our work.

We are looking for a natural people person who can earn the respect of senior clients and inspire junior team members, fostering a positive and productive environment.

The ideal candidate can simplify complex situations and is ambitious for the work, always seeking to push boundaries and explore emerging opportunities in marketing, media, and beyond. Our toolkit is innovative and industry-leading, and we need someone to help us stay at the forefront.

This role could be suited for someone who has held a senior strategic role in a media agency, a creative agency, a client organization, or a data and insight company. If the above describes you, we would love to hear from you.

You will lead strategic thinking for a portfolio of clients, contribute to major pitches, inspire fellow strategists, and help shape the agency's strategic approach to elevate our overall performance.
