Job Listing: Senior Strategist, F/T NYC/Remote
We’re looking for a senior strategist to come join us at PSFK to help us inspire our community who are changemaking business and beyond.
We’ve been running PSFK for a pretty long time and it’s been quite a journey. Along the way, we started to focus on an audience of creative professionals working in retail - whether at a retailer, a brand or a solution provider.
We inspire our community with our newsletters, our events, our syndicated research? - and at the heart of everything we do are our trends research and innovation strategy reports.
Reports are not only the heart of everything we do, they are the start of what we do. Within them, our researchers study everything and anything along the customer experience journey and we publish them every week. After that, we turn the insights into newsletters, talks, events and any other way?
Ultimately this senior strategist will guide a lean, nimble and virtual team in creating these reports. We have a process to create them but we need someone to ensure that we’re getting to the right insights through pattern recognition and that we come to the right conclusions.?
The senior strategist will lead the narrative in these reports and beyond. They’ll share the results on calls, in webinars and on stages. This isn’t a role for a quiet librarian. You need to be confident, gregarious and keen to make your mark.?
As you grow the work and the team, you’ll need to be willing to get your hands dirty as often as you get your brain firing. We also expect that the hire will step up and challenge the status quo and improve the way we inspire our community. We want them to look at what we do and develop new ideas for our existing output and for new products and services that we can monetize.
You? You need to be a little distracted. Typically, our best hires are distracted by a topic which has little to do with their career - but this fascination shows to us an incredible curiosity. You also do need to be crazy about retail, brands and marketing. You need to understand how the business works, you need to be in touch with how shoppers shop and you need to speak the lingo.
The candidate will work directly with the founder and partners of the company. Together we’ll take PSFK on the next stage of our journey and success will open up a leadership position.
Come join us at PSFK to help us inspire our community to make the change.
