The ideal candidate will be able to build trust and gain buy-in from stakeholders while managing complex brand strategy discussions.
Requirements:
- Preference for someone with stronger strategic experience rather than a focus on asset production. You must have a solid understanding of brand strategy and practical experience working with agencies and cross-functional teams.
- 10+ years of experience, ideally working on the client side due to the need to navigate internal politics. However, agency experience is also considered, especially if you have worked with high-profile clients in brand consultancy or strategic brand roles.

- Strong experience in service-led brand strategy, ideally in the travel or service industries, as opposed to product-focused brands.
