Digital Strategy Lead

The curious life of a Digital Strategy Lead

If your idea of a good time is untangling a complex technical challenge and you'd rather do that surrounded by creatives than consultants in suits, you might be exactly who we're looking for.

As our new Digital Strategy Lead, you're the bridge between our clients and their digital reality. Before thinking about platforms, tools or technology, you want to understand how their business creates value, where they're heading and what stands in their way.

What you'll be doing

On a surface level, you will:

Keep us ahead of what's coming. You know which technologies are genuinely useful and which ones are just hype dressed up in a press release.

You translate that knowledge into digital strategies that help clients hit their long-term goals. You run workshops, build roadmaps, write proposals and create the strategic frameworks that keep everything pointed in the right direction.

On a deeper level, you will:

• ask the questions

  You dig until you find what the client actually needs. What are they trying to achieve? What have they already tried? And what's holding them back from where they want to be?

• gain the knowledge

  You read everything worth reading. You go to the conferences. You have the conversations. And by the time a client brings you a problem, you've already come across the answer somewhere.

• lead the workshop

  You design the session and guide the conversation. You have a toolkit of methods and frameworks and the instinct to know when to use them and when to throw them out and try something else.

• spot the opportunities

  You look at existing accounts with fresh eyes and find the gaps. You write the proposal and build the kind of relationship where clients see BBC as the agency that genuinely gets their digital world.

• guide the team

  You're the strategic anchor for a team of digital project managers, UX/UI designers and developers. You keep them sharp and make sure every project starts with a solid and clear brief.

Who you are

• You've done this before. At least 5 years in digital strategy or consulting, with 3 or more in a strategic B2B or agency role. You know your way around customer experience, marketing tech (HubSpot and its cousins) and digital roadmapping.

• You speak the language. Dutch and English, fluently. In the boardroom and in the workshop. You adjust your register depending on the crowd and you make the complex sound clear without dumbing it down.

• You survived the lecture halls. Master's in Strategic Management, IT Management, Marketing or something equally rigorous. We care more about how you think than what your diploma says, but the discipline it took to get there tells us something useful about you.

• You see the potential. In your clients' accounts, in the relationships you build and in yourself. You have ambitions and you're not shy about them. Neither are we. You see yourself growing into a strategic lead role and you're already working towards it.

• You know where you're going. And you bring people with you. You communicate clearly, ask the questions nobody else thought to ask and know how to get the best out of the people around you. You don't lose sight of the end goal, even when the road there gets complicated.

How we support you

At BBC, you own your work. That means the freedom to experiment, test new tools and try things that haven't been tried before. On top of that, we actively invest in curiosity through our BBC Academy, Club Curiosity, talks and conferences. There's always something worth learning here. 

In addition, we offer:

• A solid package

  A competitive salary that reflects your experience, combined with a comprehensive benefits package. Payflip cafeteria plan, hospitalization insurance, meal and eco vouchers, a net expense allowance, a laptop, smartphone + subscription and a company car or another mobility benefit. Work-life balance thanks to flexible hours, extra vacation days and ADV days. 

• Some nice extra’s
  Yearly BBC weekend, Inspiring Brand Days, a yearly day of charity work, creative after works, shared daily lunches  and, of course, regular drinks on the sunroof terras. Plus, you'll be working from our inspiring office, just a short walk from the station.
