Senior Brand Consultant

About the Role

The Senior Brand Consultant plays a central role in shaping, leading, and delivering high-quality brand strategy for founders, executive teams, and mid-market organisations navigating pivotal moments of change. Acting as the day-to-day lead on client engagements, you take ownership of delivery across discovery, insight synthesis, and strategic development—working confidently within MistryX’s structured methodologies and systems.

You will lead discovery, synthesise insights, frame strategic narratives, and develop positioning and messaging systems that guide business, brand, and commercial decisions. You will operate with a high degree of autonomy, self-managing project work, coordinating contributors, and maintaining momentum—while reporting into the Managing Partners, who retain final strategic authority and approval.

This role suits a seasoned strategist with strong client maturity, structured thinking, and the confidence to take ownership of complex projects, bring clarity to ambiguous environments, and drive progress decisively within established strategic frameworks.

Engagement Horizon: Initial engagement expected to span 6–12 months, subject to project pipeline and mutual fit

Compensation: Hourly rate, aligned to active client work

IR35 Status (UK): Engagement is structured as outside IR35, subject to individual assessment. International applicants are engaged under equivalent independent contractor arrangements.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and contribute to brand strategy engagements from discovery through to definition.
• Conduct and synthesise stakeholder interviews, perception surveys, market and competitor analysis.
• Develop positioning strategies, brand narratives, messaging frameworks, and strategic recommendations.
• Translate insights into structured deliverables, including Brand Platforms, Positioning Territories, and Messaging Architecture.
• Facilitate client meetings, review sessions, and senior-level discussions with clarity, control, and grounding.
• Guide analysts and junior team members through research, synthesis, and deliverable preparation.
• Collaborate closely with the managing partners to shape strategic direction, narrative framing, and client outcomes.
• Maintain pace, discipline, and quality across concurrent workstreams using established MistryX systems.
