About The Position

We are seeking a Senior Marketing Strategist to support the Office of the Chief Brand Officer. This person will work in close partnership with the Chief of Staff & Head of Brand Strategy — serving as a peer-level collaborator on strategy, communications, and cross-functional project management across a 300+ person brand organization. This is a high-visibility, high-impact contract for someone who is equally comfortable building an executive deck from scratch, tracking a KPI framework end-to-end, and driving a cross-functional workstream — all without a lot of oversight. You're not waiting to be told what to do. You're connecting the dots, chasing down answers, and moving work forward. The right person for this role: Has worked in or alongside a C-suite marketing or brand leader — you understand how executives think and what they need Builds polished, executive-ready presentations and documents with speed and precision Treats project management as a discipline — timelines, milestones, blockers, dependencies, all tracked Is hands-on keyboard and unafraid of the 'grunt work' — this is a doer role, not a director role Knows how to navigate a large, matrixed organization with confidence and good judgment Handles confidential organizational information with absolute discretion

Requirements

Proven ability to build executive-quality presentations, strategy briefs, and documents from ambiguous, fast-moving inputs — this is the #1 skill
Experience defining, tracking, and synthesizing OKRs/KPIs into leadership-ready reporting
Strong cross-functional project management skills — able to juggle multiple workstreams without losing momentum
Background in corporate strategy, management consulting, Chief of Staff support, or a COO/ops-adjacent function
Experience working in or alongside large, matrixed organizations
High discretion and sound judgment when handling sensitive or confidential organizational information
Self-starter with high initiative — proactively moves work forward without waiting to be directed

Nice To Haves

Financial services or regulated industry experience
Familiarity with marketing and brand organizations
Experience supporting a CMO, CBO, or senior marketing executive directly
The ideal candidate has worked in a corporate strategy, management consulting, or COO/Chief of Staff-adjacent role — someone who understands how executives think and can translate that into polished, actionable materials. They have the presence and credibility to represent the team in cross-functional settings, the analytical chops to back recommendations in data, and the hustle to do the footwork themselves. Not too senior to get their hands dirty — this person runs toward the work.
