About The Position

The Strategy Associate works closely with our Lead Strategist to support the full lifecycle of client campaigns — from launch through close. This is a project management and client-support role: you’ll help make sure campaigns run smoothly, clients are informed and confident, and the team has what it needs to perform. Day to day, that might mean building a goal projection in Excel, preparing a performance report for a client, coordinating with campaign managers to unblock a problem, or joining a client call to provide updates and strategic input. You’ll wear a few hats and care about all of them.

Requirements

At least 1 year of direct client-facing experience
Experience supervising or coordinating a small team
Comfort with Excel and data — you can build a basic model, interpret metrics, and spot when something looks off
Strong written and verbal communication — clear, organized, easy to work with
Self-directed and deadline-driven — you can manage your own schedule working remotely
High school diploma required
