We’re looking for a Creative Strategist with deep beauty category experience to help evolve an existing campaign platform and bring sharper meaning to the work. Ideal candidates have experience within a top-tier, global CPG beauty organization—the kind of environment with rigorous brand standards, smart stakeholders, and lots of inputs to translate into clear direction.

This is a short-term, high-impact engagement partnering closely with an internal creative studio and brand stakeholders. You will be responsible for: 

• Leading strategic development for a beauty campaign platform—bringing clarity, meaning, and direction.
• Develop a clear engagement methodology that outlines how you’ll diagnose the current state, translate inputs into insights, and move from insight → strategy → creative direction.
• Translate existing data into human insights (how women engage with the category across age groups and needs).
• Responsible for conducting trend and category research to develop consumer insights and creative opportunities. 
• May require consumer intercepts to gain reactions to creative and refine development. 
• Build and refine the campaign narrative + messaging architecture that connects brand to product.
• Provide strategic guidance across multiple product lines
• Help the creative team stay focused—steering the work when it starts to drift.
• Confidently defend the strategy with internal stakeholders in a constructive way.
• Set the stage for future work by establishing a strategic foundation that can carry forward.

Qualifications

Must-have

• 7-10 years in creative strategy / brand strategy (senior autonomy; can lead without heavy oversight)
• Deep beauty category experience 
• Proven ability to translate data and inputs into human consumer insights and clear creative direction
• Strong executive presence—able to influence, challenge constructively, and defend strategy with senior stakeholders
• Experience developing a clear engagement methodology (phased approach, working plan, decision points)
• Demonstrated ability to drive internal alignment through workshops, working sessions, and stakeholder reviews
• Excellent storytelling and presentation skills (can simplify complexity and make it actionable for creative teams)

Nice-to-have

• Experience in a highly matrixed, global CPG brand environment with rigorous brand standards
• Experience partnering with in-house creative studios and brand teams
