Growth Strategy Associate

The Company

We’re Tallwave, a digital agency. We’re a curious, competitive group of data-driven marketers, designers, and creative problem solvers who move fast to help our clients achieve their most ambitious goals. We find parity boring, and we’re constantly challenging ourselves to deliver innovative solutions with speed, precision, and impeccable craftsmanship. We dream big, we drive results, and we’ll make a lasting impact on our clients’ businesses.

Our ambitions are too big to leave room for individual egos, and the true measure of our success is what we can accomplish together. Our culture balances individual aspirations and accountability with each other. We value selflessness, humility, and tremendous work ethic. This drives an inspiration and dedication that can be felt across the organization.

Tallwave seeks out individuals who are a cut above. Their exceptional skill, diverse perspectives, obsession for winning together, and relentless pursuit of continuous self-improvement, both professionally and personally, give them an innate ability to lead, innovate, and inspire. They have well-honed philosophies and points of view in their areas of expertise, they think unconventionally, and their endless curiosity pushes them to constantly explore, learn, improve, and try new things.

The Growth Strategy Associate is a junior-to-mid level strategist (≈4 years experience) who helps Tallwave deliver growth strategy and product innovation work across pillar clients - complex, fast-moving organizations where teams need clearer focus, sharper growth insights, stronger strategic planning, and better connection between strategy and execution. This is a fully remote position.

In this role, you will:

• Support growth and business strategy engagements by translating ambiguous challenges into structured insights and recommendations.
• Contribute to measurable growth planning through research, analysis, and KPI-informed prioritization.
• Partner with product, design, marketing, and delivery teams to translate strategy into roadmaps, narratives, and practical next steps.
• Bring an emerging technology lens to help clients (and Tallwave) understand what’s changing and how to respond.
• Help evolve Tallwave’s growth strategy practice through reusable frameworks, POVs, and pitch support.

You’ll split your time between hands‑on strategy development, cross-functional collaboration, and supporting client-facing delivery and new business.
