Kerja Sepenuh Masa, Project Lead - Strategist (Brand - Business Consultancy) di Ignite Talent - Maukerja

Our client is a brand and business strategy consultancy working with leading consumer brands across a range of sectors, from financial services and automotive to retail and consumer goods. They are now looking to hire two new team members for their Singapore office.

A global business, their work spans growth and innovation strategy, brand experience, digital transformation, customer experience and proposition development. Established in APAC for over a decade, you’ll be joining a small, collaborative and down-to-earth team supporting clients across the region. The culture is supportive, with very little hierarchy and plenty of opportunity to contribute.

About the two positions:

Both positions are strategy roles, focused on the ‘thinking’ behind projects and acting as the link between clients and internal teams including researchers and designers. You’ll get under the skin of client challenges, develop strategic frameworks and turn insight into clear, commercially relevant recommendations across a varied portfolio of work.

Both roles are client-facing and involve working closely with senior stakeholders to define the challenge, shape the strategic approach and deliver high-quality work.

The main difference between the two positions is the level of ownership. At Strategist level, you’ll play a key role in developing the thinking and strategy across projects. At Project Leader level, you’ll take overall responsibility for projects – leading the team, owning the strategic thinking and taking greater responsibility for senior client relationships and delivery.

Responsibilities will include:

• Developing strategy across a varied portfolio of engagements, bringing structure and clarity to business, customer and brand challenges.
• Turning customer, market and business insight into clear, commercially relevant strategies and recommendations.
• Working across projects spanning growth, innovation, customer experience, digital transformation, proposition development, portfolio and brand strategy.
• Building strong client relationships and developing a good understanding of their businesses, priorities and challenges.
• Working closely with researchers, designers and other specialists to bring different perspectives together into a clear strategic direction.
• Facilitating client discussions and workshops and presenting strategic recommendations clearly and persuasively.
• At Project Leader level, leading project teams, setting direction, challenging the thinking and taking overall responsibility for the quality of the work.
• At Project Leader level, coaching and developing more junior team members and supporting the development of client accounts and new opportunities.

About you:

For the Project Leader position, you should bring several years of relevant experience within growth consulting, brand consulting, innovation consulting, strategic insights or a closely related strategy environment, alongside experience leading projects/ teams.

For the Strategist position, you should bring 2+ years of experience within growth consulting, brand consulting, innovation consulting, strategic insights or a closely related environment.

Across both levels, we’re looking for:

• Experience solving broad business, brand and customer challenges.
• Strong strategic thinking and the ability to bring structure to complex or ambiguous problems.
• The ability to connect customer and market understanding with wider commercial and business strategy.
• Strong client skills and confidence working directly with stakeholders.
• The ability to turn different sources of information and insight into a clear point of view and strategic recommendation.
• Strong communication, presentation and strategic storytelling skills.
• A collaborative approach and an interest in working across disciplines rather than within a traditional research or strategy silo.

Only candidates currently based in Singapore will be considered for this opportunity.
