Job description

The opportunity

We’re continuing to grow our Stockholm team and are looking for a full-time Associate Brand Strategist, ideally starting in January 2027.

What You’ll Do

You’ll take ownership of key parts of our brand strategy projects, whether that’s research and analysis or building the story we present to clients. You’ll work closely with senior strategists and our insights team on everything from repositioning global industrial companies to building new brands for start-ups.

Main Responsibilities

• Own, plan, and deliver workstreams within larger strategy projects from start to finish
• Coordinate and perform research and insight work, both qualitative and quantitative
• Turn what you find into your own analyses and points of view, and argue for them with conviction
• Structure and write parts of strategy presentations that are clear and easy to understand
• Present your workstreams clearly and convincingly in client meetings and workshops
• Partner closely with our design and creative teams, ensuring strategic insights directly fuel distinct visual systems, communication platforms, and brand experiences
• Contribute to pitches and new business

What We’re Looking For

You might come from strategy, creative, research, or consulting — or somewhere else entirely. What matters is that you’ve learned to make sense of complexity, find what matters, and make people care.

Qualifications

• Around 1–2 years of relevant experience from a brand consultancy, design studio, strategic research agency, or progressive in-house brand team, where your role included owning a piece of work from start to finish
• Demonstrated foundational experience in brand building, consumer behavior, culture, and what makes people choose one brand over another
• Clear, mature communication, written and spoken, and a proactive, collaborative way of working
• Higher education in business, marketing, engineering, psychology, journalism, or other relevant fields
• Fluent in English; additional languages (including Swedish) are a plus
• Eligibility to work in Sweden

• Benefits include 30 days’ vacation, a wellness allowance, private health insurance, an occupational pension, and a phone and laptop.
• You’ll also work from our award-winning office at Grev Tureplan.

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis until November 1, 2026.
