Job title: Junior Strategist

Department: Strategy

Reports to: Head of Strategy

Location: London

We're Droga5. You know our name, you know our work, but we want to introduce you to our future and invite you to be part of it. Where legendary creativity meets world class tech.

We are looking for a Junior Strategist to join our London office. It’s a big break for a curious, ambitious thinker who wants to start their chapter with us.

Are you?

Someone that wants to kick off their career in one of the most famous creative agencies in the world?

Someone who looks at businesses, culture, and people and asks "why"?

You might be a fresh graduate, a planner with a year of experience, or someone coming from a totally different background with a unique perspective and a hunger to enter the industry and grow. What matters is that you have a desire to learn, a distinct point of view, and want to help make work that makes other strategists jealous.

This role is for someone who:

Sparks imagination:
Are you the one who finds the weird, wonderful, and unexpected nuggets of information? The one who provides the raw material that gets creative teams excited?

Lives in culture:
Do you understand how ideas travel online and in the real world? Can you spot a trend before it peaks and help us understand how brands can play a role in it?

Finds their voice:
Can you organize your thoughts and present a clear point of view? Are you ready to learn how to command a room, articulating a vision that is compelling, original, and clear?

Wants to build a contemporary toolkit:
Do you see a problem and immediately want to help solve it? Are you eager to learn the full variety of tools, tech and capabilities that make the modern strategist?

If that sounds like you, then Droga5 London would love to meet you.
