Orchard - Senior Strategist (Health)

Company Description

At Orchard, we believe creativity and technology should work hand-in-hand to invent better outcomes. We’re Australia’s leading health and wellness agency, blending modern marketing with science and powered by deep digital experience. Our work wins effectiveness awards and, more importantly, creates meaningful change for patients, HCPs, and the brands we partner with. 

We’re a fun, hardworking team that leaves egos at the door. Past that door? A collaborative studio filled with inspiring people, big ideas, and yes, free crumpets. 

Job Description

We are currently on the lookout for a talented Senior Strategist with brand, comms and digital 
experience to work in our Sydney team delivering evidence-based strategies to solve gnarly 
business problems.

We offer a good, fun working environment and all the necessary support and structured training you 
need to grow your strategy career. 

Key function
The traditional and the obvious doesn’t cut it for our strategy team. We are an uncommon bunch 
made up of UX-ers, CX-ers, data planners, CRM planners and social planners. We relentlessly seek to 
uncover insights from culture, people, behaviour, the economy and product truths - combining this 
with our experience in digital communications to inform our strategies.

We seek to answer true business problems through an evidence-based approach and happily work 
with data, UX and CX to ensure our solutions are fit for purpose. Data and evidence drive us. Delivering creativity is our end goal. Our simple philosophy (creating solutions that have an AFFECT to deliver outcomes that have an EFFECT) keeps us grounded to make sure all strategic direction is clear and actionable.

The role aims to be both consultative, offering higher-end “up-stream” strategic thinking to our clients, as well as more “downstream” campaign and digital communications planning – working closely with social and content teams.

Qualifications

• 7+ years’ experience working in a strategic/planning function.
• The ability to work with data to develop insights and recommendations for clients.
• A collaborative attitude and approach to solving problems.
• A mastery of your strategic capability, and a basic understanding across other forms of strategy, including, but not limited to: Brand strategy, communications strategy, and digital strategy.
• A trusted advisor that can quickly understand the client’s business needs and develop a solution.
• Loves to actively share POV on market and industry, both educating our clients and building trust.
• You are a highly skilled communicator, that knows how to convert complex analysis into simple and actionable strategies.
• Ability to facilitate and lead client workshops to uncover business problems in a dynamic and collaborative way.
• Confident to lead, develop and present pitch-winning strategies that lead to new business.
• Show a strong commitment to the Company’s core values of Collaboration, Integrity & Curiosity
• Embrace and respect the Company’s community and environmental responsibilities.
• Proven ability of working within a team 
• Experience working in healthcare is highly valued but not required.
