Senior Strategist

At Specsavers, creativity isn’t just about making great work - it’s about changing lives.

Through better sight and hearing, we aim to deliver outstanding value and be loved by every customer. The Creative Strategy team sits right at the heart of that mission, helping shape communication strategies that are clear, compelling and creatively excellent. If you’re the kind of strategist who loves interrogating problems, sharpening ideas and elevating the work around you, this is a genuinely exciting place to do just that.

This Creative Strategist role is all about raising the bar. You’ll bring sharp creative judgement, strong intuition and clear strategic thinking to work that spans bold global brand campaigns and fast‑moving tactical activations. From the very first conversation to final execution, your involvement will consistently make the creative work better - clearer, braver and more impactful. While you’ll report into a senior strategist, this is a role that values confidence and independence, with real autonomy to see projects through and shape outcomes.

Working closely with Creative Directors and creative teams, you’ll help develop brand strategies across multiple regions, including the UK, ANZ, Northern Europe and Canada. One day you might be shaping a broadcast campaign, the next refining in‑store or retail communications. You’ll translate brand and business objectives into inspiring creative direction, write focused briefs, challenge thinking in constructive ways and help ideas reach their full potential. Along the way, you’ll present your thinking clearly to senior stakeholders, build trust through collaboration and play an active role in driving creative excellence and marketing effectiveness across the business.

We’re looking for someone with strong experience in creative strategy - whether agency‑side or in‑house, who is comfortable working independently and managing projects end‑to‑end. You’ll have a proven ability to shape ideas by partnering closely with creatives, a solid grounding in marketing fundamentals and an instinct for how brands show up in culture and the real world. Curiosity, analytical thinking and imagination matter just as much as clear writing and confident communication. You’ll enjoy juggling multiple projects, drawing insight from complexity and helping others see problems and possibilities, more clearly. You’ll thrive working closely with Creative Directors, senior stakeholders and teams across regions, using strong relationship‑building skills, cultural awareness and emotional intelligence.

If you’re motivated by making work better, love collaborating with talented creatives and want to help shape a brand that genuinely makes a difference in people’s lives, this role offers the space, trust and challenge to do your best thinking. Join Specsavers Creative and help define the standard for work that truly connects.

This role closes on Tuesday 26th May 2026. Don't delay your application, apply now – you'll be glad you did.
