At LG2, strategy is about ideas that shape culture, create more engaged relationships between organizations and citizens, and deliver tangible results. We do so through stories, content, identities, physical spaces and technology tools that are worth talking about, sharing, visiting and using. Being part of LG2’s Strategy team means being guided by inspiring leadership that strikes the right balance between business and people.

As a Strategy Director, you are responsible for the highest standards of strategic thinking and for inspiring compelling creative products. You are constantly refining and evolving the strategic process at the agency. You are happiest rolling up your sleeves, leading strategic efforts for projects big and small, new business pitches and ongoing client relationships.

You will work closely with varying levels of client and internal and external cross-functional teams. You will facilitate sessions with anyone, from C-Suite executives to creative directors to junior developers, inspiring creativity and focusing insights. Your briefs will be tight and pointed, your decks informative and succinct, and your perspective sought after rather than avoided.

• Define project scope, considering all relevant factors, and recommend appropriate strategic resources and allocations to ensure project success.

• Conduct comprehensive research, analyze market trends, and assess competitive dynamics to identify key business and marketing hurdles, informing strategic decision-making and guiding client recommendations.
