Job Title: Senior Brand Planner

The Pathfinder: You know you're a Senior Planner when it clicks within your brain that there is no prescribed path forward, only the path you prescribe. It's the ability to make sense out of nonsense, the ability to see an answer when the solution has never been done before, the ability to create when the sheet in front of you is blank, the ability to curate across the environment to bring forward the right tool or technique as the solve. These are the signs that you've tipped into knowing, not hoping, that your answer is the best within your ability.

Location: New York, NY​

Summary:

At Harrison and Star, Strategic Planning's primary role is to develop a growth roadmap that shapes and energizes our clients' brands.

We are seeking an insightful, creative thinker who can serve as an envoy into our customer's minds, our brand's market, and our market's challenges and opportunities. You have a fascination for medicine and health, are unafraid of immersing him/herself into the nuances of the category and brand, loves the lure of understanding what makes our healthcare providers and patients tick, and is curious about finding the achilles heel and blindspots of our competitors. You stay on top of current market trends and are well-read about interesting marketing strategies and tactics.

In this role, you will be involved in all aspects of brand strategy including analyzing the brand's data and market trends, listening to and perhaps shaping market research, providing input into brand strategy, participating in developing brand positioning and identity, helping to stage inspiring workshops to solve brand challenges. You take pride in your work, are sharp in your thinking, assertive in your point of view, and takes initiative in getting a strategic project done well. You know what great looks like and are unafraid in taking the steps necessary to deliver against it.
