Role: Strategy Lead
Location: Remote, Chicago
This is an opportunity to join OLIVER's dedicated in-house studio embedded with embedded with a leading healthcare education
institution as Strategy Lead — the strategic intelligence function for a fully integrated creative production studio serving
100,000+ enrolled students across a large, multi-brand portfolio of students, professionals, and enterprise audiences across the
healthcare education sector.
The constraint on the next phase of growth is not lack of strategy — it is content velocity, content relevance, and the ability to
test and personalize at scale. Your role is to make sure the studio is always working from the sharpest possible strategic
foundation, turning audience insight, channel performance, and market intelligence into clear direction for creative and CRM
execution.
You will lead the end-to-end strategy for email and CRM program — the studio's most commercially critical workstream — while also
providing strategic input and optimization direction across paid, social, owned, and emerging channels. This is supported by a
platform architecture where OMG organizes and orchestrates the work; Pencil is where the work gets created and optimized and Share
of Model is how our client will stay one step ahead in AI-driven discovery. You will be one of the primary users of all three.
We support flexible working and are open to different arrangements. We offer reasonable adjustments throughout the process.
The Strategy Lead is the strategic backbone of the OLIVER studio. Approximately 60% of your focus sits on CRM and email — owning
the strategy, audience architecture, and optimization roadmap for institution enrollment marketing programs. The remaining 40%
spans the broader channel mix: paid social, organic social, owned content, web, and performance marketing — providing strategic
input, testing frameworks, and optimization direction that ensures the studio is always creating the right content for the right
audience in the right channel.
You are the person who connects insight to execution. You work closely with the Business Director on client strategy, with CRM
Campaign Managers on email performance, with the Associate Creative Director on content strategy, and with the Data Analyst on
measurement. Three lead SLAs anchor the partnership — cost per asset, speed to delivery, and creative effectiveness in market —
and your strategic direction should be visibly improving the third.
