About the Role

The Director, Brand & Strategy is a senior leader and strategic partner responsible for helping brands connect with audiences and create measurable impact.

You’ll guide the development of brand and marketing strategies, lead key client relationships, and mentor a small but mighty team. You’ll help clients articulate where they’re going, why it matters, and how to bring it to life through partnerships, programs, and communications.

This is a role for a curious, confident leader who loves connecting strategy to execution: someone equally skilled in building trust, crafting clarity, and inspiring teams to deliver exceptional work, while not being afraid to get their hands dirty when the rubber hits the road.

• Build and maintain senior client relationships rooted in trust and insight.
• Oversee quality, profitability, and performance across assigned accounts.
• Mentor and develop team members, fostering a collaborative and high-performance culture
• Contribute to agency growth through thought leadership, innovation, and new business

What You Bring

• 7-10 years' experience in brand strategy, marketing, or partnerships (agency, brand or property).
• Proven success leading senior clients and delivering high-impact brand strategies.
• Experience managing teams and guiding cross-functional collaboration.
• Strong storytelling, presentation, and financial management skills.
• A balance of creative curiosity and business discipline.
• Post-secondary education in marketing, communications, business, or a related field

Bonus Points:
Experience with integrated marketing campaigns, communications, or the development of purpose-drive impact programs. French fluency an asset.
