Job Description

Changing consumer behavior in a cookieless world, the rise of GenAI, and the need to avoid commoditization is all transforming the practice of Marketing & Communications. As a Strategist at Quietly, you will lead that charge, helping the world's leading brands earn attention through a content/data-first approach.



Working in concert with our Content, Delivery, and Business Development teams, you will be responsible for delivering an array of strategic work while building out new capabilities and refining frameworks.
You bring experience from creative agencies or publishing and the confidence to work on completely new types of projects; challenging long standing assumptions, defending recommendations, and delivering high-value client work for category-leading organizations.

You inspire your teammates to raise the bar on every level because you fully understand this new experience economy, how and why audience expectations are transcending categories, and where the future is headed for B2C and B2B brands. You are looking for the next big challenge, and like us, you have no small plans.

This is a full-time 15 month contract opportunity offering a competitive base salary starting from $65,000+, 3-weeks vacation, comprehensive benefits package, and the flexibility to work remotely during North American business hours, from our headquarters in Vancouver, or a hybrid of both. If these values resonate, we'd love to hear from you.

Quietly is an award-winning consultancy, harnessing business and creative acumen to drive real outcomes for brands looking to succeed. Our people are dedicated to proving the impact of content on business results through a commitment to service that delivers actionable, expert counsel and compelling, effective content.
