Data Strategy Associate Director
Marketing Consultancy | London | Hybrid Working | Up to £90,000 + Bonus

Four years ago, a group of marketing leaders came together with a shared belief: that the traditional agency model no longer served ambitious brands. They set out to build something different — a challenger consultancy created for marketers who want to think sharper, move faster, and achieve more with less. Today, that vision has grown into a global business helping brands across North America, Europe, and beyond to outsmart incumbents through smarter, leaner, and bolder marketing strategies.

This consultancy sits at the forefront of a new way of working — one where creativity and data work hand in hand to drive meaningful growth. It is fast growing, proudly independent, and built on the idea that great marketing is as much about mindset as it is about measurement. Every project is an opportunity to challenge conventions and create work that delivers true commercial impact.

Now, they are looking for a Data Strategy Associate Director to join their Media and Data team in London. This is a key leadership role, responsible for shaping how data thinking powers media, creative, and marketing performance across a portfolio of ambitious challenger brands.

You will lead the creation of data strategies that connect business goals with actionable insight, helping clients unlock the value of their first party data and make confident decisions about where and how to invest. You will design frameworks that fuel precision in targeting, accountability in measurement, and agility in optimisation — bringing together data, technology, and strategy to create clarity in an increasingly complex media world.

As a senior leader, you will guide clients through transformation, acting as both consultant and partner. You will collaborate closely with strategy, creative, and analytics teams to embed data thinking across the consultancy’s output, while mentoring and developing a growing team of data planners. You will also play a pivotal role in new business, shaping the consultancy’s evolving data proposition and contributing to its continued growth.

You will bring deep expertise in data strategy, analytics, and modern marketing technology, ideally gained within an agency or consultancy environment. You understand how data drives effectiveness across brand, creative, and media, and you are fluent in the platforms and tools that power this ecosystem. You think commercially, communicate with clarity, and lead with curiosity — combining analytical rigour with the ability to inspire creative and strategic thinking in others.

In return, you will join a business that is built for the future of marketing. You will work directly with founders and senior leaders, influencing both client strategy and the direction of the consultancy itself. With a competitive base salary, twice yearly profit share, and the opportunity to share in long term success through a unique employee liquidity plan, this is a chance to make a genuine impact — both professionally and personally.

If you are excited by the idea of leading data strategy for brands that dare to challenge the status quo, this could be the next defining move in your career.
