Careers

As Revival’s Director of Strategy, you’re equal parts big-picture thinker, client advisor, team builder, and occasional fire-putter-outer. You’ll lead strategy and social across a wide range of clients and projects, helping turn big ambitions into smart, actionable plans—and making sure those plans actually make it into the world.

You’ll lead a multidisciplinary team of strategists, analysts, social media specialists, and paid media specialists while collaborating closely with designers, copywriters, developers, UX/UI specialists, photographers, videographers, and the rest of the Revival crew. You’ll be a strategic voice for our clients, a champion for our team, and a key player in shaping where Revival goes next.
