Director_Strategy + Insights

About the role

We believe every brand, and person, should be a work in progress. It's why the founding partners opened the agency in 2016, and why WorkInProgress helps brands boldly take action, innovate, and create to prove why they exist. Then we use those actions to create the most memorable advertising. As an independent agency, we strive to prove that an agency can care as much about a client's business as they do. And that advertising can play a fundamental role in building and growing a company. We're always looking for smart, creative, and passionate people that care more about changing a company than winning awards. Inventors more than ad people. Problem solvers more than portfolio puffery pushers. No assholes. No egos. No hiding because you can't do the job. No selfishness. No disrespecting people or their time. Insanely talented, yet incredibly humble. In other words, one in a million. Lucky for us, we want to stay small and independent. Our office is located in Boulder, CO, and we require employees to work from the office Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Requirements

• 10+ years of experience with increasing levels of responsibility at an agency or equivalent combo of agency and client-side experience.
• Experience working with client-side leaders up to the C-level.
• Experience working with internal teams in a highly-collaborative manner.

• Experience working directly with consumers in a variety of ways.

Additional Information

When WIP was created, we intentionally collapsed Account and Strategy departments into one discipline, with the belief that account people should be masters of their clients' businesses, while also having the ability to connect the dots between company, culture and consumer in order to inspire and shape effective work. We also expect every person at WIP to bring a high level of strategic thinking to the table that reaches beyond the traditional confines of their role, whether creative, production, technology, or beyond. With that in mind, we're looking for someone to relentlessly feed our strategic machine with tensions, insights and areas of exploration that will help the collective team unlock new possibilities, actions and work for the brands we serve. This person would have a curiosity and passion that is unmatched, and the ability to think creatively to uncover new information and opportunities. WIP Perks and Benefits - Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, short-term disability (STD), voluntary long-term disability (LTD), and voluntary life/AD&D. - 3% 401k contribution. - "Unlimited" paid time off (PTO) for vacation days. - 27 paid days off, which includes 16 holidays, a 1-week agency closure in July, and a 2-week agency closure in December. - 2 weeks fully remote per year. - Discretionary annual bonus. - Each employee receives a $1,500 personal training credit annually, known as the WIP Fund, to allow for personal or professional growth in specific interest or passion areas.
