Orchard - Strategy Director Health

We are currently on the lookout for a talented Senior Strategist with brand, comms and digital experience to work in our Sydney team delivering evidence-based strategies to solve gnarly business problems. We offer a good, fun working environment and all the necessary support and structured training you need to grow your strategy career. The traditional and the obvious doesn’t cut it for our strategy team. We are an uncommon bunch made up of UX-ers, CX-ers, data planners, CRM planners and social planners. We relentlessly seek to uncover insights from culture, people, behaviour, the economy and product truths - combining this with our experience in digital communications to inform our strategies. We seek to answer true business problems through an evidence-based approach and happily work with data, UX and CX to ensure our solutions are fit for purpose. Data and evidence drive us. Delivering creativity is our end goal. Our simple philosophy (creating solutions that have an AFFECT to deliver outcomes that have an EFFECT) keeps us grounded to make sure all strategic direction is clear and actionable. The role aims to be both consultative, offering higher-end “up-stream” strategic thinking to our clients, as well as more “downstream” campaign and digital communications planning – working closely with social and content teams.
