  • Mentor and guide junior strategists, providing feedback and support on their work.
  • Collaborate with creative teams to develop impactful and innovative campaigns, bringing your own distinct creative perspective to the table.
  • Provide clear and insightful creative briefs that inspire and guide the creative process.
  • Ensure strategic alignment throughout the creative process, pushing for work that is both strategically sound and creatively exceptional.
  • Champion creative excellence within the agency, actively seeking opportunities to elevate the quality and impact of our creative output.
  • Provide constructive feedback to creative teams, helping them to refine and strengthen their ideas.

Leadership & People Management

  • Actively participate in the development and growth of junior strategists.
  • Provide regular feedback and coaching.
  • Foster a positive and collaborative team environment.

Development & Growth

Progression to Strategy Director is based on demonstrated leadership capabilities, consistent delivery of exceptional strategic work, successful mentorship of junior team members, and a proven ability to contribute to agency growth. Success in this role will be measured by contribution to business & brand health, client engagement, pitch win rate, 360 feedback, awards, and more.

How We'll Support You

Ogilvy celebrates its people. Fully. Enthusiastically. Unhesitatingly. We'll empower you with the tools you'll need to succeed. We'll give you the autonomy to seek out new paths and better ways of doing things. We'll support you with colleagues who are experts in their disciplines, drawn from across the Ogilvy network. And we'll provide opportunities for you to do work of which you'll be proud, with people you'll be proud to call your teammates.

At Ogilvy, our people are at the heart of what we do: a creative agency that sparks game-changing ideas across culture and business through collaboration, integrity, and a celebration of self-expression.

We believe in building powerful teams with purpose. This means hiring and nurturing talent across all races, ethnicities, religions, abilities, sexual orientation, and gender identities – and we relentlessly curate transformative initiatives that make our commitment to fairness and equity a reality.

Our ultimate mission is to leave a positive impact on the world, creating a better future for all, while supporting and uplifting the global communities we serve. This is central to our mantra of Borderless Creativity.
