Senior Brand Strategist

Forgettable is a place. Verve builds the way out.

Our team of strategists creates the blueprints to transform businesses into irreplaceable brands. Want to be a part of it?

We're looking for a Senior Brand Strategist (native-level English proficiency) to join the team and lead projects that go on to lead their category. Just like those we've done for Miro, Bynder, Inbox Monster, Ecommpay, Zenchef, YoungCapital NEXT, and many more.

We are looking for a brand strategist who:

• Translates audience insights and market analysis into sharp brand positioning, distinctive propositions, and creative design strategies.

• Leads energizing brand workshops for ambitious clients – from fast-scaling startups to industry leaders – engaging stakeholders up to C-level across a wide spectrum of sectors like enterprise SaaS, to consumer brands.

• Captures the soul of a brand in distinctive, evocative language that fuels the creative team. A strong design sensibility is essential.

• Thinks clearly under pressure – narrowing focus without compromising quality when timelines are tight.

• Loves working at the office, in close collaboration with the team and clients. Focus days from home can be a part of your working schedule as well.

About you:

• You’re an English expert (speaking and writing at native-level proficiency) who is deeply familiar with the cultural and commercial context of American brands and audiences.

• You bring 5+ years of experience in a high-end international agency.

• You’ve developed brand strategies that shaped meaningful, award-worthy creative work – ideally with recognition from organizations like D&AD.

• You have a sharp eye for design and understand what makes a visual identity world-class. Designers-turned-strategists are especially welcome.

• You can showcase a portfolio of client work, side projects, or personal ventures that reveal both your thinking and your taste.

🧠 The purpose

Verve is about realizing potential. We want to become the best branding agency worldwide, and you'll hear us say this time and time again.

We also cover the cost of any books you're interested to check out with any relevance to brand, design, or growth (however tangential).

🛸 Hybrid

We believe the role of the office has changed, for the better. We all come in to the office to enjoy the company our colleagues, nurture our culture and get inspired through the moments between the work. We aim to work together in-person at least three days a week, whether it’s in our Amsterdam or The Hague office. For up to six weeks a year, you can work remotely from anywhere in the world.

❤️ Recharge

We believe great work comes from people who feel good. That’s why we aim to provide the tools for you to maintain a healthy work-life balance.

Enjoy a museum visit with your museum card, share your fitness routine in our #sports channel, or do a workout/yoga session with your colleagues.

🤝 Team spirit

We work together to make sure the team vibe stays strong. We all take team trips, wear Verve merch, get tickets to regular industry events, have team dinners as well as occasional kroketten and cocktails. And because great people want to work with great people, we offer a recruitment bonus for bringing our next talent on board.
