Job Role: Junior Strategist

February 16, 2016

Say hello to the Royals planning team.

We’re super friendly and looking for a junior strategist who's Sydney-based to join us. Is there anything you can help with? Sure. There’s plenty…

  • Category analysis.
  • Desk research.
  • Research summaries.
  • Insight/opportunity hunting.
  • Brief writing.
  • Workshop prep.

But, what exactly are we looking for?

  • You have a year (or two) under your belt in an agency. The good news? It doesn’t have to be in strategy.
  • You’re hungry to become a strategist, not because it’s a cool job title (yeah, we know
  • it is…), but because you’re a naturally curious person who is most happy when you’re getting in under the hood of a brand, behaviours or culture.
  • You’re equal parts creative and logical.
  • You’re collaborative, not a ‘bubble thinker’, but someone who isn’t afraid to share early, ask lots of questions.
  • You know that you don’t know everything and know that you never will - a great
  • strategist is about constantly learning and relearning.
  • You have the kind of attitude that creative and clients alike just dig.
  • You’re ready to try new things and ask for help along the way.

How might you know if you’d make a good Royal?

  • You’re inherently curious.
  • You’re an interesting person.
  • You’re a doer.
  • You’re not afraid to ask how, why, when.
  • You’re Hungry to create better ideas than what is out there at the moment.
  • You’re a bit of a slashy and never afraid to try something new or get your hands dirty.
  • You’re a rockstar to get on with. I.e. We’re just going to love having you around the place.
