Strategist

Make work people actually notice.

At Grey, we believe the best strategy doesn’t just sit behind the work. It helps create work that gets noticed, talked about and remembered.

We’re looking for a Strategist to join our Strategy team in London, working across some of our newest and most ambitious brands.

This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who is curious about people, brands, culture and creativity, and knows how to turn that curiosity into a sharp point of view.

You’ll work closely with Strategy Directors, Creatives, Account teams and Clients to unlock briefs, uncover interesting insights and help shape ideas with the potential to become Famously Effective.

What you’ll be doing

No two briefs will look exactly the same, but you’ll typically be:

• Finding the interesting angle. Digging into audiences, brands, categories and culture to uncover insights that go beyond the obvious.
• Shaping the strategy. Helping interrogate client briefs, reframe challenges and find the strategic thought that unlocks the creative opportunity.
• Writing briefs creatives want to answer. Turning complexity into clear, inspiring creative briefs with a strong narrative at their heart.
• Getting close to the work. Partnering with creative teams throughout the process, bringing perspective, challenging thinking and helping ideas become stronger.
• Building persuasive stories. Creating clear strategic arguments and presentations that bring people with you.
• Working directly with clients. Becoming a trusted strategic voice on your accounts, bringing a point of view on everything from audience and culture to research, campaigns and effectiveness.
• Learning what works. Using research, data and effectiveness thinking to understand how campaigns land and applying those lessons to future work.
• Getting involved in agency life. Sharing interesting thinking, contributing to pitches and being an active part of Grey’s wider strategy community.

What we’re looking for

Benefits

What can you expect from us?
At Grey, you’ll have the opportunity to work at an incredible studio, with some of the most creative and inspired people in the industry, all whilst getting to grow & shape your career with us. We offer a competitive salary, lots of training, plenty of benefits and wellbeing perks too.

Inclusion & Belonging
At Grey, we know that the more diverse the input, the more famous and effective the output. Different perspectives spark bigger ideas, braver creativity and better work - and that starts with how we welcome new talent. We embrace applications from people underrepresented in our industry and value the unique skills, experiences and viewpoints everyone brings. Our goal is simple: create a place where everyone can belong, and no one feels the need to hide any part of who they are.

That spirit runs through our application process too. If there’s anything - from neurodivergence, to a health condition, or any other circumstance - that might shape your experience, just let our People team know. We’ll work with you to make the adjustments you need to show your best, and we’ll treat whatever you share with respect.
