Job Description :
Join our Team as a Senior Strategist at Havas Host!
Are you ready to lead accounts, manage day-to-day client relationships, and drive strategic thinking across key projects? Havas Host is on the lookout for a Senior Strategist to work across creative and multidisciplinary teams.
You will collaborate closely with the Chief Strategy Officer and Head of Strategy on high-level initiatives like annual planning while independently steering the strategic direction for various brands, including a tourism client.
About Us
Before diving into the specifics of the role, we want you to understand our culture. At Havas Host, we are a beautifully, brilliantly varied bunch. This diversity makes our workplace vibrant and exciting. Regardless of who you are or what you're into, we all abide by a few simple ‘Unusual Works’ behaviors that keep us aligned:
- BE CAN DO: Usual excuses hold us back, but being unusually Can Do propels us forward. Don’t think about why something won’t work; focus on what you can do to help it succeed. Take the lead rather than expecting someone else to do it.
- BE CURIOUS: Originality comes from venturing into the unusual. Challenge yourself every day. Ask unusual questions and seek unusual answers—from yourself and your clients. Continuously challenge your assumptions and perspectives.
- BE FEARLESS: Achieving unusual works is about embracing the untested. Fear of failure is usual, but being fearless to try is part of unusual works. What’s the worst that can happen? We try something else!
- BE COLLECTIVE: Usually, agencies excel at one thing. Unusually, our superpower is our collective capability. Cohesive collectives don’t build themselves; it takes individual actions. So say hello, cross the floor, seek to work with others, respect what they bring, and above all, celebrate together.
