DEPT® is looking for an experienced holistic strategist who can advise clients across the full spectrum of creative, media, technology, and business consulting. This position is a crucial step in our journey to delivering truly connected, strategic solutions for our clients, allowing us to tackle complex business challenges rather than merely responding to briefs.

In this role you have the ability to analyse and deeply understand business challenges. Based on this, you can create actionable briefings to collaborate with a cross functional team and lead them effectively. In this role, we don’t expect you to have deep expertise in all specific areas. Instead, you act as a central connector between our strategists and senior domain experts. You know exactly what you need, from whom, and when, and you excel at bringing together people, ideas, and solutions - transforming them into a clear narrative and actionable plan. Throughout this process, the client’s business challenge remains at the core.

Act as a trusted advisor for our most important clients in EMEA;

Talk business with (potential) clients by truly understanding their challenges from a business point of view and connecting them to clear, achievable, and ambitious solutions;

Connect and lead senior craft people to solve our client’s strategic business challenges;
