Senior Strategist

Senior Strategist

Court Avenue is a company of industry experts accelerating digital transformation for the world's most ambitious companies.

At Court Avenue, you will be a part of a culture powered by entrepreneurs, technologists, data scientists and the habitually restless dedicated and energized to design products and services that transform businesses while optimizing them for growth. You will have the opportunity to learn and grow within a culture that values innovation while focusing on redesigning the experience between consumer and service (or product) by leveraging a fluid, seamless, and thoroughly transparent engagement.

A Senior Strategist at Court Avenue helps set the course for the work. They lead strategic deliverables end-to-end — from research and synthesis through final presentation — and are increasingly trusted to own pieces of client accounts with oversight from department leadership. They're often among the strongest voices in the room on a deliverable, bringing a clear point of view, sharp recommendations and the storytelling instinct to move clients forward.

They're entering the phase of their career where they're building a reputation — internal teams know they can come to them for a strong recommendation, and clients begin to recognize them as a trusted strategic partner.

This role is grounded in commerce. The Senior Strategist will bring deep omnichannel shopper marketing experience to a portfolio of Court Avenue clients — understanding how shoppers move across retail, digital and physical touchpoints, and translating that understanding into strategies that drive measurable commercial outcomes. They are fluent in the shopper journey, know how to brief and partner with retail media and creative teams, and can build the connective tissue between brand strategy and the moment of purchase.

Each of our strategists have their hands on keyboards. The Senior Strategist will research, structure and present full PPT deliverables, and use AI fluently as part of their craft — to synthesize inputs faster, pressure-test thinking, generate sharper ideas and elevate the quality and pace of every deliverable. A deep understanding of the digital landscape — latest trends, technologies and the implications for our clients — is required.
