• Lead and evolve the Omnichannel Strategy function, setting the vision for how strategic planning is delivered across RC Media and defining what strategy means within an increasingly integrated organization.
• Build strong partnerships with Client Experience, Planning, Media, Analytics, Activation, and Technology leaders to create seamless, collaborative ways of working and eliminate silos across functions.
• Develop integrated omnichannel engagement strategies that connect business objectives, customer insights, media, technology, content, and measurement frameworks into cohesive customer experiences.
• Serve as a senior strategic advisor to pharmaceutical, biotech, and healthcare clients, helping executive stakeholders navigate evolving market dynamics and engagement opportunities.
• Partner closely with Analytics, Media, and Technology teams to transform data, insights, and customer intelligence into actionable strategic recommendations.
• Establish operational excellence for the Strategy function, including strategic frameworks, planning methodologies, service models, team processes, deliverables, governance structures, and cross‑functional workflows.
• Ensure strategy outputs are measurable and aligned to business outcomes through robust performance frameworks and success metrics.
• Lead strategic planning support across key accounts while playing an active role in new business efforts, pitches, thought leadership, and agency growth initiatives.
• Mentor, coach, and develop a team of strategists, helping elevate capabilities while creating a high‑performance culture rooted in collaboration, accountability, and continuous learning.
• Drive innovation through the thoughtful application of AI, emerging technologies, and new customer engagement models.
• Represent Real Chemistry externally through client presentations, industry events, publications, and market‑facing thought leadership.

• You understand that great strategy only creates value when it can be operationalized, activated, measured, and adopted by cross‑functional teams.
• You thrive in executive‑level client environments and can confidently influence senior stakeholders.
• You are energized by coaching and developing teams while helping individuals grow into their full potential.
• You are comfortable navigating complex organizations and building productive relationships across media, analytics, technology, commercial, and client service teams.

• Deep expertise in omnichannel strategy, customer journey architecture, communications planning, audience strategy, media strategy, engagement planning, and healthcare commercialization.
• Practical understanding of how omnichannel programs are operationalized through technology, activation, data, and executional teams, not solely at the planning level.

• Demonstrated success partnering with analytics, technology, media, and activation teams to develop integrated customer engagement strategies.
