Digital Strategist

About the role

Terra is looking for a Digital Strategist who can turn big ideas into smart, actionable marketing strategies that move the needle for our clients. In this role, you’ll lead the team for your assigned accounts, architecting multi-channel, lifecycle-driven journeys that blend content, AEO/SEO, social, and automation into seamless, measurable audience experiences. You’ll pair strategic vision with creative direction, partnering closely with our creative, content, and technical teams to bring every strategy to life. Every project you touch will have a clear vision, a solid plan, and the impact to back it up.

Who You Are

• 6–8 years of experience developing and leading digital marketing strategies across multiple channels, ideally in an agency, start-up, or consultancy environment.
• A clear career storyline of marketing wins that you owned, backed up with data.
• Expertise in at least two core marketing practice areas—such as lifecycle marketing, social media, AEO/SEO, content marketing, email, or automation—and a strong understanding of how all channels work together.
• Experience in lifecycle and loyalty marketing, including email and app-based experiences; familiarity with Braze is a strong plus.
• Ability to use different types of data—behavioral, engagement, and transactional signals—to power personalized user experiences.
• Ownership of client accounts or major strategic workstreams, from discovery through execution, with the ability to steer direction while adapting to changing priorities.
• Player-coach mentality: ability to jump into the action and follow the plot even when it gets complex.
• Skill in leading client conversations that uncover insights, clarify objectives, and set a clear course toward measurable results.
• Comfort translating complex ideas into clear, persuasive strategies for stakeholders, including building strategy decks and presenting to senior executives.
• Collaborative approach that builds trust quickly, balancing strategic vision with a practical, results-oriented mindset.
• Organized, adaptable, and able to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment without losing sight of the details.
• Willingness to learn new tools such as Adobe Analytics, Figma, Profound, and Semrush, and to explore new platforms that improve outcomes.
• Comfort owning project success, being the go-to person for client questions and concerns, and briefing strategies to cross-functional teams.
• Creative strategist mindset: ability to brief and direct creative work rooted in strategic intent, and evaluate concepts against objectives.
• Marketing experience in regulated healthcare or finance contexts is a plus, showing innovation and growth within large matrixed organizations.
• Patience and motivation for long-term impact, understanding that your work may take months or years to come to fruition.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with other strategists to ensure your account strategies align with Terra’s broader strategic approach and best practices.

• Provide strategic creative direction—brief creative teams, review concepts and campaign plans against brand standards and objectives, and ensure execution stays true to the strategic vision.
• Monitor performance, surface insights from data, and make strategic adjustments to maximize impact.
• Stay ahead of market trends and evolving customer behaviors, continuously spotting opportunities and threats.
• Contribute to Terra’s own marketing and strategic initiatives, bringing forward new ideas and recommendations.
