Senior Strategist

LaSalle Network has partnered with a premier, global marketing innovation agency to find an agile, high-energy Senior Strategist for an immediate 3-month contract.

In this role, you will step onto a high-velocity global strategy team to lead future-facing omni-channel campaigns and activations for one of the US' most iconic retail and quick-service restaurant brand. If you are a curious, adaptive storyteller who thrives at the intersection of consumer behavior, digital trends, and creative execution, we want to talk to you.

What You Will Do (Day-to-Day)

• Drive Retail Digital Experiences: Act as a core strategic brain for high-profile retail business streams, focusing heavily on digital channels including drive-thru innovation, mobile app engagement, in-store kiosks, and motion/visual retail content.
• Masterful Storytelling & Slide Decks: Conduct deep-dive strategic analysis and transform complex data/trends into highly polished, fresh, and visually stunning client-ready presentations.
• Blend Art & Science: Combine creative brand strategy with behavioral insights to analyze customer journeys, track rapid market trends, and identify competitive opportunities.
• Collaborate at Speed: Work autonomously to build out ideas, then sync seamlessly with internal design, technology, and account teams to bring campaigns to life under tight, fast-moving promotional deadlines.
• Flex with Agility: Confidently tackle ad-hoc strategic requests, bringing fresh energy and a proactive problem-solving mindset to the table every day.
  
  

What You Will Bring To The Team

• Experience: 4–6 years of strategic planning or brand consultancy experience, ideally heavily rooted within a fast-paced marketing/advertising agency environment.
• Retail & CX Domain Expertise: A proven track record in Customer Experience (CX) and omni-channel retail marketing. Experience with major food, beverage, or massive retail footprints is highly preferred.
• Presentation Superpowers: Exceptional writing, communication, and storytelling skills; you are a naturally strong presenter who can confidently deliver and defend smart ideas.
• The Right Mindset: High curiosity and low ego. You are someone who actively asks questions to gain complete clarity rather than racing silently toward a deadline. You possess total confidence in your expertise, but remain highly coachable and collaborative.
• Tools of the Trade: Digitally savvy with modern media ecosystems (social platforms, mobile apps, data insights) and highly proficient in secondary research/analytics tools.
