Years' Experience: 10 years

Reports to: SVP, Strategy or above

The essence of any strategic role at Revive is to solve our clients' business problems by developing breakthrough strategies (often by using compelling insight-driven research) and focusing the output of agency in a way that leverages its creativity and expertise to produce a positive and measurable impact.

All of the strategic roles are in service of this, and the different levels of seniority within the department reflect differences in things such as: experience and time in the job, technical ability, management and mentoring skills, developing a specific expertise within the discipline and a broader contribution to the Revive vision, values and business performance.

A successful VP will lead the development of strategy that fuels integrated engagements with clients. They will be able to drive the strategic phase of client work, working in collaboration with their account team and creative colleagues, and carry the account team, creative functions and client with them during that work.

We want someone who is ambitious to move their career forward and make a real impact with clients and in the agency while expanding their subject matter expertise in health and technical capabilities in creative and engagement strategy.

We want good eggs, not sour apples, in the department. We want givers not takers.

We want people to want to hang out with us!
