About This Role 📝
The Senior Strategist will report to Strategy Director Jordan Leschinsky (who’s amazing), and will be leading the content and internal comms strategy for one of the world’s largest tech brands.
You’ll be working alongside a great team of writers, designers, and account managers to help guide the strategic thinking, planning, and creative for various client needs. From emails and new websites to content programs and manager training, the strategist we’re looking for should be able to help find creative solutions to content needs that don’t have traditional solutions (like social or paid media).
The role demands an effective communicator who’s comfortable guiding clients and inspiring internal teammates. There’ll be a lot of deck building, slide creating, and herding cats as you help to find solutions to problems that aren’t covered by any rule books or best practice guidelines.
Unlike most agencies, we don’t have a hard line between our creatives and strategists, and we pride ourselves on our ability to execute in a wide range of marketing disciplines. So if you like to mix it up, great!

A few more things you should know about Codeword ⭐
- The Codeword dream: Make good money doing work you care about with people you like.
- We love our clients (they write the checks!), which means maintaining a high bar for the creativity, smarts, responsiveness, and communication skills we offer them.
- We’re around 100 people, big enough to handle large-scale marketing programs, small enough that you’ll have an impact on our culture.
- We’re a friendly team, we look after each other, and we grow our careers together.
- We respect everyone’s personal life. After-hours emails are strongly frowned upon, night and weekend work is very rare, and employees are encouraged to pursue their side-hustles.
- We’re all grownups here, and we trust each other to get the work done, whether at home or in an office or a time zone on the other side of the world.
- We believe in defaulting to openness. Our calendars, our salary tiers, and our doors are open for all to see. (Except for secret client stuff, which we guard with our lives.)
- We’re a proud member of the global WE Communications family.
