Collider Junior Strategist

Yum!Santa Ana, CA
$69,900 - $75,700

About The Position

Collider Lab is a tight-knit group of brand strategists, data strategists and marketers that work entirely on the creation of high profile, business-changing strategies in dozens of countries around the world. We leverage the power of culture to position brands, and modern marketing science to make them grow faster. We are entirely owned by Yum! Brands—the largest restaurant company in the world, owners of Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, KFC, and The Habit, so we are clearly on the brand side. At the same time, however, we are free to work on a few exciting projects and brands in other categories if they pique our interest. So, we are also a little like an agency too (except an agency made up entirely of strategists with the complete freedom to choose what projects they work on around the globe, based exclusively on how interesting they sound). We also focus purposefully and intently on growing everyone’s strategic and team management skills. In the end, our goal is to make the brands we work on better businesses and better citizens of the world…and every strategist that works on them smarter, more connected to humanity, and more fulfilled. If it sounds a little like a strategist’s dream come true, it’s because it kind of is. Collider Lab operates in high performance, highly focused teams. Each team is led by a Senior Strategist and is supported by at least one Strategist and one Director of Strategy. That team will dive head-first into each project and work exclusively on it for anywhere from 3 weeks or up to 3 months. They will become subject matter experts and push each other to come up with the most disruptive solution possible. Naturally, the Associate Strategist is a key member of this team, as they are working alongside the Senior Strategist in executing the research methodology and developing the strategic solutions. As a member of a team, however, they are not responsible with coming up with all the answers themselves. Collider Lab is about the “collision” of different perspectives and ideas, and we take this seriously. Every project is nourished with the ideas of the Collider braintrust and no one is ever left on their own.
