Creative Strategist

Role overview

The Nudge Group is hiring a Creative Strategist in Sydney for a full-time, on-site role. This position is ideal for someone who wants to help shape a creative function from the ground up rather than simply follow an established process.

You will work where strategy, creativity, and client partnership overlap, partnering with ambitious brands to develop ideas that are not only visually strong but also commercially effective and measurable in impact. The role calls for someone who can bring structure to complex briefs, challenge assumptions, and clearly explain the thinking behind creative choices.

What this role involves

Rather than executing a fixed playbook, you will contribute to building one. The role suits someone who enjoys creating systems, influencing direction, and helping define how a high-growth creative team operates.

Working style and profile

• Experience in fast-moving agencies, scale-ups, or growing design-led businesses.
• A strong commercial mindset and a clear understanding that creative work should support business results.
• Comfort with AI and emerging tools, with a mindset geared toward working more efficiently and intelligently.
• Confidence in managing client relationships and building trust with stakeholders.
• Ability to operate well in uncertainty, take initiative, and move projects forward without waiting for direction.

Who should apply

This opportunity is best suited to someone energised by building, shaping, and influencing a best-in-class creative function from the outset. Applicants should be prepared to share both a resume and portfolio.
