Web Strategist - Contractor
About the role
Position Overview
As a strategist at Webstacks, you will both collaborate on and lead a diverse range of website projects with B2B tech clients ranging from newly-funded startups to international enterprises. From initial discovery through successful launch, you will work closely with our lead strategist, project managers, designers, and developers to plan and execute the best websites in high-growth tech. You will be instrumental in guiding the strategic direction of projects, ensuring that they align with client objectives and end-user priorities. You love working with both people and data to understand how businesses operate, what they’re trying to accomplish, and how their web presence can help them get there. You have deep experience with websites and digital marketing; you may have started as an SME or a digital generalist, but today you have a good balance in your understanding of technical functionality and content-driven user experience. Most importantly, you value working in an ego-free environment with a team of SMEs who love to learn, experiment, and grow together.
