Overview
PHD is seeking a Strategy Director to join the global team working on Opella, Sanofi’s consumer healthcare division. Opella’s portfolio spans pain care, digestive health, allergy, and nutrition, with eight leading global brands and over 200 local ones. The role involves shaping global communications strategies across 50+ markets and driving integrated, data-informed planning.
About The Role
PHD EMEA is hiring a Strategy Director to join our global team working on Opella, Sanofi’s consumer healthcare division. This is a rare opportunity to work on a client that’s not only commercially significant—with over €36bn in global sales—but also purpose-driven, helping people take better care of their health every day.
As Strategy Director, you’ll help shape global communications strategies across 50+ markets, working with a collaborative team of strategists, digital specialists, and data experts. You’ll develop strategic frameworks, guide local market implementation, and build a strong measurement culture. You’ll also play a key role in integrating social strategy—including influencer marketing—into broader communications planning, ensuring campaigns are culturally relevant, insight-led, and channel-agnostic.
About You
We’re looking for a strategic thinker with extensive experience in media planning across integrated channels. You’ll be confident leading strategic conversations, simplifying complex ideas, and connecting business goals with smart media solutions. Experience in FMCG or consumer healthcare is beneficial, and you’ll be comfortable using data to enhance planning—from audience segmentation to integrating econometrics and consolidating market insights. Ideally, you’ll also bring experience in integrated social strategy, including influencer marketing, and understand how these channels contribute to broader communications planning. You’ll thrive in this role if you’re outcome-focused, collaborative, and curious about digital and data-driven approaches. You’ll take a workshop-style approach to strategy development, balancing evidence-based thinking with creativity, and managing projects from start to finish with clarity and confidence. We value diverse perspectives and are looking for someone who brings fresh thinking and a passion for building great brands through media.
