Head of Strategy (US)

We're Building Something New, and We Need Someone to Help Define It AI is already reshaping marketing. The real opportunity now isn't adoption. It's how organizations reorganize around it. ContinuumGlobal is at a point where strategy needs to lead that shift. This role isn't about maintaining client plans or refining campaigns. It's about helping define how modern marketing organizations operate in an AI-driven world and translating that into real, executable change for our clients and our business. We're looking for a Head of Strategy who brings a clear point of view, knows how to work at the executive level, and can turn emerging capabilities into practical operating models that teams can actually run. About ContinuumGlobal ContinuumGlobal is an AI-enabled engagement marketing agency helping global brands, including Google, YouTube, Waymo, Coinbase, and Kraken, deliver personalized customer experiences at scale. Through our proprietary Smart Marketing Engine™, we bring together data, AI, creative, and operations to transform how marketing is planned, executed, and optimized. We're not just building campaigns; we're building a better way to do this work. The Opportunity This is a high-visibility leadership role that sits at the center of ContinuumGlobal's evolution. You'll partner closely with our Head of AI, Data and Analytics, who brings depth in data, modeling, and technical execution. You'll lead the strategic narrative, the operating model design, and the client-facing vision. Together, you'll define what AI-enabled marketing looks like in practice and ensure it's both visionary and implementable. You'll also play a key role in shaping the roadmap for our Smart Marketing Engine, ensuring it aligns with real client needs and how marketing organizations are actually changing. What You'll Own Strategic Leadership & Operating Model Design You'll help clients and prospects rethink how their marketing organizations are structured in an AI-driven environment. This means going beyond campaign strategy to the harder, more valuable question: how should this organization actually be set up to win? Define AI-enabled marketing operating models that connect strategy, creative, data, and execution Identify where current workflows break and map how they should evolve Help organizations move from fragmented tools to cohesive, intelligent systems Guide how teams should be structured, how decisions should be made, and where AI should be embedded Client Strategy Leadership Lead strategy across key client engagements and elevate how Continuum shows up in the room Develop integrated marketing strategies across CRM, lifecycle, email, and omnichannel engagement Translate data and insights into a clear direction that clients can act on, not just decks they can admire Serve as a senior advisor to stakeholders ranging from Heads of Growth to CMOs Push thinking beyond campaigns toward continuous, intelligent engagement Ensure strategy connects to execution and measurable outcomes Partnership with AI, Data & Analytics This role is designed to work in lockstep with our Head of AI, Data and Analytics.

Our client list speaks for itself: Google, YouTube, Waymo, Coinbase, Kraken. These are brands with the highest standards, and we earn their trust by being specialists, not generalists. Our team combines technical depth — data, engineering, AI — with creative and strategic thinking, a combination that's rarer than it sounds and produces measurably better outcomes. We move at the speed of our clients, many of whom are defining their categories in real time. And we're global but nimble — US, UK, Canada, India — with the infrastructure to support enterprise programs and the culture of a team that still cares deeply about the work. This role is central to that mission. You'll have the support, the access, and the expectation to help shape what comes next.
