Director of Creative Strategy – Sales Engine Architect

About Us

For decades, we’ve shaped iconic brands. Now, we’re building sales engines.

RedRhino is a fast-moving performance and branding agency based in London, Ontario—working with local, national, and international clients to drive growth through creativity, data, and cutting-edge marketing technology. We’re evolving fast, leveraging the best of martech and AI to work smarter and move faster—all while delivering performance-driven results and beautiful, impactful work.

Our team is a mix of client-first  strategists, A.I. specialists, creatives, and digital experts who thrive on thrilling our clients with big ideas, measurable outcomes, and relentless innovation. If you’re looking for a place where ambition meets action, you’ll love RedRhino. 

We’re seeking a Director of Creative Strategy—a visionary leader who can shape brand and campaign strategies that not only captivate but convert. This is a senior, hands-on role where you’ll own key accounts, collaborate across teams, and ensure every piece of creative—from briefs to final assets—hits hard and performs harder.

You’ll work side-by-side with senior leaders to co-create killer results, diving into the details to make sure strategy comes to life—whether that’s refining performance reports into plain-language insights, crafting razor-sharp briefs, or stress-testing creative to ensure it’s on-brand and delivers measurable results

Key Responsibilities

• Lead brand and campaign strategy for a mix of local, national, and international clients—balancing big-picture vision with performance-driven execution.
• Own and grow key accounts, acting as the strategic lead while collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver breakthrough work.
• Pitch, present, and win business—translating complex ideas into clear, compelling stories that excite clients and align with their goals.
• Work at the intersection of creativity and data, using martech and AI tools to optimize, innovate, and stay ahead of trends.
• Ensure performance reports tell a story—no jargon, just clear, actionable insights that prove (and improve) ROI.
• Get into the weeds—write killer briefs, refine headlines, review creative, and make sure every detail drives the strategy forward.
• Help shape RedRhino’s future—contribute to our growth, mentor rising talent, and push the boundaries of what’s possible in performance branding.

What We’re Looking For

• 7+ years in creative/brand/performance strategy, preferably in an agency setting.
• A portfolio of work that shows how your strategies drove real business results—not just awards (though those are nice too).
• Master storyteller—you can sell ideas in a room, on a slide, or in a one-pager.
• Deep understanding of modern marketing—brand building, performance media, martech, and how AI is changing the game.
• Analytical but creative—you love data but know it’s nothing without a big idea.
• Hands-on leader—you’re as comfortable presenting to CEOs as you are tweaking ad copy or digging into a dashboard.
• Fearless and ambitious—you thrive in a fast-paced environment where growth is the goal.

Why RedRhino?

• Own your impact—lead accounts, shape strategies, and see your work drive real growth.
• Work with a talented, hungry team that’s charging into the future—no bureaucracy, just great work and fast progress.
• Competitive salary, benefits, and growth opportunities—we invest in people who invest in us.
• A culture of bravery, curiosity, and results—where smart risks are encouraged and excellence is expected.
