Full job descriptionSenior Strategy Lead - Brand & Comms | Freelance | £880/day
Central/East London (Hybrid) · Inside IR35 · 12 months+
Are you a Director-level brand strategist who wants real ownership, not oversight?
A global agency needs a hands-on senior strategist to lead a major client account day-to-day. You’ll run strategic projects end-to-end, shape the work, and be the client’s trusted advisor, not just deliver to a brief.
It’s a long-term freelance role (12 months minimum) at £880 a day, mostly remote with 1-2 days a week in-house in Central/East London.
The role
You’ll own the strategy on a global brand account. Writing the briefs, leading the teams, turning research into stories that land, and running the room when it matters.
Your day-to-day:
*Write creative and delivery briefs for teams across the UK and LatAm
*Lead strategic projects end to end as proxy product owner
*Turn qual and quant research into personas, models and storytelling
*Shape the brand experience across sub-brands, journeys and channels
*Design and run workshops at executive level
*Work across multiple markets, languages and regulations
You’ll fit if you have:
*Director-level brand and comms strategy experience, agency side
*A CPG or retail background (preferred)
*A consulting mindset
*The confidence to own senior client relationships
*Happiness working in the tobacco/FMC category - this is the client’s whole business, not a one-off
The details:
*£880 per day (maximum)
*Start: Thursday 15th October
*12 months minimum
*Inside IR35 - umbrella only (Ltd + Sole Trader are not allowed)
*Hybrid, 1-2 days in-house, Central/East London
