About Azyy

Azyy Studio is a fully remote, full-service design and consulting agency specializing in branding, websites, digital product design, and advertising. We partner with clients ranging from startups to enterprise brands, delivering high-craft creative work through a lean, senior-level team.

We're hiring a Senior Strategist to lead the thinking behind our work across branding, websites, digital product, and advertising. You'll set the strategic foundation that shapes our creative output, from research and insights through to brand narratives, platforms, and messaging. This is a senior, client-facing role for someone who can hold a room, sharpen a brief, and turn raw inputs into ideas that move the work forward.


Key Responsibilities

Strategy at Azyy sits at the front of every engagement and stays close to the work all the way through delivery. You'll be the strategic lead across a portfolio of client projects, partnering with our creative director, designers, and account team to make sure the thinking is sound and the work is sharp.

  • Lead strategic thinking on brand, marketing, web, and digital product engagements from kickoff through delivery.

  • Run discovery and research, including desk research, stakeholder interviews, competitive audits, and consumer insights work.

  • Develop and write briefs that focus the team and give creative something real to push against.

  • Build brand narratives, platforms, messaging frameworks, and tone of voice systems.

  • Write brand copy and headline-level work across web, advertising, and product surfaces.

  • Facilitate workshops with clients, from positioning sessions to naming and messaging exercises.

  • Present strategy and rationale to senior client stakeholders with clarity and confidence.

  • Contribute to new business through proposals, pitches, and points of view that show Azyy's thinking.

  • Help shape Azyy's external voice through case studies, thought leadership, and POV pieces.

What We're Looking For

Experience: 7+ years in strategy at an agency or consultancy, with a track record of leading brand and marketing engagements end to end.

  • Strategic Range: Comfortable across brand strategy, marketing and comms, and digital product. You can move between positioning a startup and shaping a campaign for an enterprise client without missing a beat.

  • Writing: A genuinely strong writer. Clear, opinionated, and capable of switching registers from brief to brand narrative to headline copy.

  • Research Chops: Skilled at desk and primary research, with a sharp eye for the insight buried in the noise.

  • Client Presence: Confident presenter who can lead a room, earn trust quickly, and turn feedback into momentum rather than friction.

  • Multitasker: Comfortable holding strategic context across several clients and projects at different stages without losing sharpness on any of them.

  • AI Forward: AI tools are already a daily part of how you research, synthesize, and write. We're not looking for someone we need to onboard to AI. We want someone who can sharpen our workflows and bring new techniques to the table.

  • Curiosity: A reader, a watcher, a listener. You bring fresh inputs into the work and pull from outside our industry as often as inside it.

  • Ownership: Proactive, resourceful, and self-directed. You take responsibility for the quality of the thinking, not just the deliverable with your name on it.

Why Join Azyy?

  • High-Caliber Work: Real projects for ambitious clients, alongside a senior team that cares deeply about craft.

  • Remote-First: Work from anywhere in the US. We've been remote since day one and the systems are built for it.

  • Founding-Era Role: Join Azyy at an inflection point. You'll have meaningful influence on how strategy lives inside the studio and the kind of agency we become.

  • Variety: A wide range of clients and industries, from early-stage startups to enterprise brands.

  • Flexibility: Trust-based culture. We care about outcomes, not where or when the work happens.
