About the Company:

Our client is a global advertising and media company specializing in programmatic and omnichannel media, with a managed-service approach. Their Strategy team supports sales and new business by building the strategy, narrative and client-facing materials behind pitches and proposals.

About the Role:

We are looking for a Senior Strategy Manager to lead pre-sales strategy for new business and priority growth opportunities. This is a new position on a growing team. You will turn incomplete briefs, research and media inputs into a clear strategic narrative and a polished, client-ready deck. This is a hands-on individual contributor role with no people management. You will report to the Senior Associate Director and work closely with Growth, Planning and Client Services.

You Will:

• Independently lead strategic development for RFPs, RFIs, custom proposals and priority growth requests.

• Translate client objectives and research into a clear narrative, strategic rationale, audience approach, channel roles and high-level media recommendation.

• Conduct audience, category, competitor, cultural, market and media research and turn findings into usable insights.

• Build polished client-facing decks for pitches, capability conversations, QBRs and priority requests.

• Partner with Growth, Planning and Client Services to ensure recommendations are differentiated, feasible and responsive to the brief.

• Contribute reusable research, templates, playbooks and practical AI-enabled workflows that improve speed and quality.

About You:

Your Background:

• Approximately 4-7 years of relevant experience. Scope and work samples matter more than title or tenure.

• Strong agency or managed-service strategy experience with meaningful pre-sales responsibility.

• Clear examples of decks you built end to end, including the original brief, insight, narrative, recommendation and your own contribution.

• Hands-on ownership of RFPs or custom proposals under short timelines.

• Strong research and synthesis skills across audiences, categories, competitors and markets.

• High-quality PowerPoint or Google Slides deliverables and strong written storytelling.

• Solid understanding of digital media, omnichannel planning, audience strategy, measurement and campaign feasibility.

• Professional English for cross-functional work and presenting strategic thinking.

Nice to Have:

• Experience planning against DV360, The Trade Desk, Amazon DSP, StackAdapt, Xandr, Yahoo DSP or comparable platforms.

• Experience with CTV, OLV, display, audio, DOOH, paid social, paid search, retail media or other omnichannel combinations.

• Experience using AI for research synthesis, first-draft narratives, data analysis, custom assistants or workflow automation.

• Client-facing exposure. It is a plus but not required, since the US team handles most direct client communication.

• International or US-market experience.
  
  

Compensation & Benefits:
