Zenith is looking for a driven and passionate individual to fill the Associate Director, Cultural Convergence Strategy role to help deliver more meaningful, culture-driven, and business-centric marketing and media strategies for a major QSR client. This Associate Director role will collaborate with the broader agency team, helping to bring more tactical-level expertise and insights forward in the development of strategies, media plans, partner consideration sets, planning stewardship, and reporting/analytics.

Candidates must showcase passion, expertise, and commitment to pushing a client's work towards greater sophistication in connecting with diverse consumers and establishing cultural relevance. We are all about culture in this practice and value your unique perspective to drive positive results and impact with communities.
This candidate is not easily discouraged, nor are they risk-adverse. They will bravely see each team or client interaction as an opportunity to identity a problem and bring forth a culture-first solution. They love creating the 'never been done" and strive to stay ahead of the cultural curve, identifying opportunities for the client's brand to build first-to-market, groundbreaking, and award-winning work.
They are a self-starter and not easily intimidated. We are REALLY friendly and collaborative at Zenith – so don't hold it back if you disagree or have an idea to deliver success for our clients.
They will be a "culture-first" resource to others in the resolution of complex problems/issues – and know how to unpack a client question to understand what they are really trying to solve for.
This candidate will have direct, ongoing support from both the Cultural Convergence SVP on the business, as well as the EVP, Cultural Convergence to help set them up for success.
QualificationsSoftware Knowledge: Microsoft Suite, Nielsen Suite, Kantar, IMS, Flowchart Software, R/F and Optimization Software, Social Tracking tools, comScore, Prisma, MBOX, MRI/GfK, GWI. Must understand its capabilities and applications to translate data into actionable culture-first insights.
