Job Title:

Strategy Partner

Job Description:

We are looking for a Strategy Partner who can lead on major clients and pitches.

We seek a big picture thinker and a natural collaborator. Carat is a front door to the One Dentsu network, a key differentiator for us. Our partnerships, especially with Merkle, have contributed to an outstanding recent new business record. As a Strategy Partner, you will set the overall strategy for your clients and coordinate across teams. Internally, you will bring together different people and thrive in a collaborative environment.

We want someone who is empathetic, curious, and able to generate or identify fresh insights. Our approach at Carat is rooted in a deep understanding of real people—how they live, choose brands, and interact with media and technology. Our mantra is "Designing for people," and we need innovative, holistic insights to guide our work.

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

The ideal candidate can simplify complex issues and make them actionable. They are ambitious, push for innovative solutions, and are intrigued by emerging opportunities in marketing, media, and beyond. Our toolkit is innovative and industry-leading, and we need someone to help us stay ahead.

This role may suit someone who has held a senior strategic role in a media agency, a creative agency, a client organization, or a data and insights 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, and inspire your colleagues. As a senior member of the strategy team, you will help shape our strategic approaches and elevate the agency's strategic capabilities.
