Senior Commercial Strategist in London

Location: Whitechapel, London

Contract type: 3-month FTC with the possibility of extension

We're looking for a Senior Commercial Strategist to join the team on a 3-month FTC, with potential to extend.

The opportunity

We're building a new arm of our Studio focused on getting ahead of what brands want - creating the products, formats and propositions we take to market, rather than just reacting to briefs. A roadmap is in motion: formats audited, products live and a plan running through to end of 2026. We need a senior lead to take ownership and shape what this becomes. High visibility, real influence and the chance to leave your mark on how one of the UK's most exciting social-media businesses commercialises its creative output. If you see a better way, we want to hear it.

What you'll do

• Take strategic ownership of productisation
• Own the productisation roadmap - bringing your own strategic thinking to where it goes, not just delivering what's been planned.
• Complete Phase 1: one-pager system, distribution classification, commercial viability assessment with Sales.
• Scope and kick off Phase 2: retail proposition, category-specific product sets and automation of proposal creation.
• Work with the Special Projects PM and wider stakeholders to keep the sprint schedule on track and flag when it should evolve.
• Level up existing products and invent new ones
• Audit the current product set and identify what can be refined, repositioned or made more compelling for buyers.
• Strengthen existing formats with sharper data, better creative rationale or smarter media packaging.
• Bring genuinely new product ideas to the table - new formats, new commercial models, new ways of combining Studio's creative and audience capabilities.
• Identify the category verticals with the strongest product-market fit and build out propositions for them.
• Work closely with a dedicated Junior Designer to produce sales materials that match the calibre of the conversations we're having.
• Develop brand-agnostic product formats Studio can sell across all portfolios.
• Connect across the business
• Pull in Brand Strategy, Creative, Data & Insights, Social Activation and Sales at the right moments - working within a sprint model rather than pulling people off live briefs.
• Partner with Data & Insights to build the audience intelligence layer that underpins new products.
• Feed Sales packaged, ready-to-pitch commercial products that reduce reliance on bespoke brief responses.

Who we're looking for

You've done this before - in a media, content publisher or social-first environment. You understand digital and content campaigns end-to-end and you've built repeatable products from that knowledge, not just delivered great bespoke work. You're a thinker who can see what's missing and do something about it.

You'll have

• A track record of productising commercial formats in a media or publisher context - scalable products, not one-off campaigns.
• Deep understanding of digital and content campaigns, including paid and organic social and how to combine channels for commercial impact.
• The ability to translate creative ideas into commercial products - distribution, format specs, platform context.
• Commercial instinct - you know how brands buy and how to price and position creative solutions.
• Experience across strategy, creative, data, social and sales - comfortable turning multi-disciplinary input into clear propositions.
• Able to bring rigour and process to a creative environment - self-starting, structured, delivery-focused.
• Strong communication - you can write a product brief, present a proposition and document a process with equal clarity.

Bonus points for

• Experience in cultural publishing, social-first media or the creator economy.
• Familiarity with brand partnerships - sponsorship, integration, co-creation.
• Worked alongside a sales team and understand how packaging translates into pipeline.
• Advised on or built pricing architecture for creative products.

Why join us?

• A rare chance to shape a new function - real influence on something being built, not just maintained.
• Real seniority and visibility - direct line to the SVP Studio and advisory support from an experienced operator.
• A productisation programme already in motion - you're accelerating something real, not starting from scratch.
• Genuine creative and strategic latitude - your ideas matter here, and we're actively looking for someone who'll push us further.
• A culturally relevant business - real audiences, loved brands and a significant commercial opportunity.
