They will act as a key shepherd through the Invisible North process : defining the core challenge, discovering rich and relevant insights and their related opportunities, designing strategic recommendations, developing actionable solutions, and deploying for immediate significance and long-term sustainability. Though channel-agnostic through much of this process, the Strategy Director should have a strong ability to apply this process to Brand, Culture, Digital, Partnership, and Product marketing challenges creatively.

Additionally, this role will positively contribute to making Invisible North’s culture an envy of the industry, a studio that turns out jaw dropping creative and design and does so by upholding an inclusive, flexible and giving work environment.
