Help ambitious brands become impossible to ignore.

At Rivyl, we don't just build brands. We help founders and leadership teams create businesses that people remember, trust and choose.

From brand strategy and positioning to visual identity, websites and launch campaigns, we combine strategic thinking with exceptional creative to deliver real commercial outcomes.

We're looking for a Creative Strategist who loves uncovering insights, simplifying complexity and creating the strategic direction that excellent creative is built on.

About the role

This isn't a role where you'll simply write strategy documents and disappear.

You'll work directly with founders and leadership teams, facilitate workshops, uncover commercial opportunities, shape positioning, develop messaging frameworks and collaborate closely with designers, copywriters and digital specialists to bring ideas to life.

You'll be involved from discovery through to delivery, ensuring every creative decision is grounded in insight rather than assumption.

If you're naturally curious, commercially minded and love helping businesses find their competitive edge, we'd love to meet you.

What you'll be doing

- Research industries, competitors and customer behaviour to uncover opportunities.
- Develop brand positioning, messaging frameworks and strategic recommendations.
- Facilitate workshops with founders and executive teams.
- Create strategic briefs that inspire exceptional creative work.
- Shape campaign strategies aligned with commercial objectives.
- Collaborate with design, copywriting and digital teams throughout projects.
- Present ideas confidently and build alignment with clients.
- Help transform complex business challenges into clear strategic direction.





About you

You'll probably come from a branding agency, creative consultancy or strategic marketing background.

You enjoy asking "why" before jumping to solutions and know that the best creative work starts with a strong strategic foundation.

You'll also bring:

- Experience in brand strategy, creative strategy, integrated campaigns or content strategy.
- Strong research and analytical skills.
- Confidence facilitating workshops and presenting to clients.
- Excellent communication and storytelling abilities.
- The ability to balance commercial thinking with creative ambition.
- A collaborative approach and genuine curiosity about people, brands and business.

You'll thrive here if you...
- Love solving complex business problems.
- Get excited by strategy just as much as creativity.
- Can confidently challenge thinking while bringing people on the journey.
- Enjoy working directly with founders and senior leaders.
- Want your work to influence real commercial outcomes.
- Believe great brands are built on insight, not assumptions.

Why Rivyl?
- Work alongside a high-performing strategy and creative team.
- Gain exposure across brand strategy, marketing and commercial growth.
- Have a genuine impact on ambitious brands and founders.
- Hybrid working (1 day WFH each week).
- Free team lunch every Wednesday.
- Birthday leave.
- Join an agency that's growing quickly with plenty of opportunity to grow alongside it.
