About the Role
This role is for someone who sits comfortably between brand strategy and digital execution – able to zoom out to define the creative and communications idea, and then zoom back in to shape how that idea shows up across digital platforms. If you naturally think in terms of meaning, persuasion and cultural relevance before channels, and enjoy turning insight into clear communication direction and direction into real-world digital impact, this role is likely your sweet spot. As a Digital Communications Strategist, you will be led by the impact of brand and creativity on digital platforms. You are not a channel specialist. Instead, you connect the dots across paid, owned and earned digital environments, working closely with (and constructively challenging) creative teams, media specialists, social, PR and account leads to orchestrate communication systems that are coherent, purposeful and effective. In short: this is a role for someone who believes digital impact is driven by strong ideas, disciplined communication frameworks, and an understanding of how creativity, culture and platforms interact.

AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITY
Digital Communications Direction & Strategic Framing
Set the overarching digital communications direction across paid, owned and earned channels, grounded in brand strategy and business objectives – not isolated channel activity.
Translate complex briefs, cultural signals and audience insight into clear communications platforms, strategic intent and messaging hierarchies.
Anchor channel roles and creative expression across the digital customer journey, ensuring strategic coherence from awareness through to consideration, participation and advocacy.

Orchestration Across Paid, Owned & Earned Digital Channels
Take ownership of the overall communications direction across paid, owned and earned environments, ensuring specialist outputs ladder into a shared creative and strategic narrative.
Work upstream with creative teams so ideas are conceived with digital behaviours, platform formats and distribution logic in mind – not retrofitted after the fact.
Orchestrate and collaborate closely with media, social, PR, influencer and community teams; actively challenging, stress-testing and refining thinking to raise the quality of outcomes.
Have the technical knowledge to work with Paid Media, CVM, SEO and Data specialists to ensure activation of strategy.
Act as the point of strategic arbitration when trade-offs arise between brand expression, platform constraints and effectiveness goals.

Insight, Effectiveness & Strategic Storytelling
Turn insight, signals and performance inputs into clear, client-ready stories that drive decision-making and evolution of the work.
Partner with media, data and performance teams to define success metrics that balance brand impact, creative effectiveness and engagement quality (not just efficiency).
Analyse communications and creative performance across platforms to identify opportunities, learning agendas and implications for future work.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
±7 years’ experience in communications strategy, brand strategy, digital strategy or creative agency environments – mandatory.
Strong grounding in Paid, Owned and Earned media, with a clear point of view on how brand and creativity drive digital impact.
Proven ability to lead communications strategy that starts with idea and meaning, and then scales across digital platforms.
Comfortable acting as a senior strategic partner to creative teams, channel specialists and clients.
Ability to balance cultural intuition and creative ambition with strategic rigour and evidence-based decision-making.
Excellent structuring, writing and presentation skills.
Curious by nature; opinionated once informed.
Enjoys complexity, but obsessed with clarity.
Collaborative, grounded and low-ego.
A Marketing or Communications-relevant tertiary qualification – mandatory.
