Contractor Senior Strategist

We’re looking for a freelance Senior Strategist to support a fast-moving project.

This role focuses on uncovering third-party voices, platforms, and partner opportunities that shape perception and influence decisions within a complex B2B category.

What you’ll work on:

• Identifying high-impact information sources and translating intelligence into actionable strategies for partnership, outreach, and content alignment.

Key focus areas:

• Discover who’s shaping the conversation and driving influence
• Analyze reach, audience, and content focus
• Assess brand visibility and identify gaps
• Benchmark competitor presence and tactics
• Deliver actionable strategic recommendations

Using a mix of desk research and tools like Sprinklr, GWI, Helixa, and SparkToro, you’ll help turn these focus areas into clear, insight-led outputs – including influencer maps, strategic recommendations, and competitor analysis – all aimed at elevating brand visibility and positioning.

What you’ll be doing:

• Leading a defined strategy workstream within a collaborative, multidisciplinary team.
• Investigating how influence flows across expert networks, media platforms, and thought leadership ecosystems.
• Analyzing and synthesizing complex digital footprints into strategic narratives.
• Contributing directly to high-stakes client deliverables with meaningful business impact.
• Translating complex data into clear, usable deliverables (influencer maps, insights, and strategies).

We’d like you to have:

• 8+ years of experience in brand, comms, or research strategy (agency or consulting preferred)
• Comfort working in B2B or complex industries (tech, finance, or enterprise services)
• Strong experience in desk research and analyzing large volumes of qualitative and quantitative input
• Working knowledge of social listening and insight tools (e.g., GWI, Sprinklr, SparkToro)
• Excellent communication and storytelling skills (written and verbal)
• Ability to work independently, manage time, and collaborate across remote teams

What you bring:

• Strong verbal and written communication; able to distill complexity into clear narratives
• Expertise in synthesizing research findings into strategic insights and recommendations
• Proficiency in stakeholder research, media audits, and competitor analysis
• Ability to work autonomously and manage multiple streams of work on tight timelines
• Familiarity with social listening, audience intelligence, and media insight platforms
• Strategic thinking with a strong bias toward action and clarity
• Comfort navigating ambiguity and shaping structure from open-ended briefs
