WHY DEPT®?
We are pioneers at heart. What this means, is that we are always leaning forward, thinking of what we can create tomorrow that does not exist today. We were born digital and we are a new model of agency, with a deep skillset in tech and marketing. That’s why we hire curious, self-driven, talented people who never stop innovating.
Our culture is big enough to cope and small enough to care. Meaning, that with people across 20+ countries, we’re big enough to provide you with the best tools, global opportunities, and benefits that help you thrive. While acting small by investing in you, your growth, your team, and giving you the autonomy to solve our clients' problems, no matter where you are in the world.
This is a fixed term contract (W2) role, for 4 weeks at full time.
The DEPT® Digital Products team is looking for a Senior Product Strategist who will help us build great products with great teams. In this role, you’ll help our clients innovate their products and platforms while sharing your wealth of experience with both client and DEPT® teams. You’ll also broaden your own skill-set as we continue to innovate our own offerings and uplevel our teams.
What will your days be like?

What are we looking for?
