We are looking for a Senior Strategist to join the strategy team in our New York office. You should have experience and a proven ability to think commercially, strategically and creatively. This experience may come through work in strategy consulting, private equity, venture capital, investment banking, or within a corporate innovation team.
frog is a global innovation, strategy and design firm. We work to define innovation strategies and develop products, services, and experiences that create sustainable, profitable growth for our clients. During normal circumstances, we have a team of sixty working out of our bright and modern office in Brooklyn; due to the pandemic, we’re temporarily working remotely from all over the US. Through this transition, we’ve managed to preserve the fast-paced, creative, and collaborative nature of our working culture.
Your Responsibilities
As a Senior Strategist in our strategy team, you would be responsible for:
-
Financial analysis and assessment of client’s existing operations
-
Category assessment, competitive analysis and projections of future growth
-
Financial modeling and revenue forecasting for potential initiatives

Your Future
Your experiences as a Senior Strategist would be designed to help you develop a broad range of relevant skills, and prepare you for a potential transition to a role as an Engagement Manager. In addition to regular team training sessions, you would be assigned a mentor to work with you on building specific skills and capabilities aligned to pre-defined professional development goals.
Our Requirements
You should have a bachelor’s degree in a relevant field, and a minimum of five years experience working in strategy development or financial analysis – either as a consultant or within a corporate environment.
