Director, Strategy & Foresight to join our team.

This is a senior strategy role for someone who understands how organizations use brand, sponsorships and other strategic partnerships to drive their business. You'll work across a range of client projects, helping organizations make better decisions, identify opportunities, solve complex problems and bring new thinking to the table.

Sponsorship and partnerships are an important part of our work, but this role will also contribute across broader business and brand strategy projects.

You should be equally comfortable conducting a landscape scan, writing an executive brief, facilitating a workshop, analyzing data or sitting across from a senior client and delivering a transparent recommendation.

This role reports to the Partner & Head of Strategy at The Greater and works closely with colleagues across the firm, as well as with clients and agency partners.
