Strategy Manager

Job Description

Objectives

PMAX is evolving into a Total Marketing Solutions Partner. We’re not just about performance or media anymore. Our Strategy team leads this transformation. At PMAX, Strategy is not a support function. We exist to help businesses grow through marketing — not by “serving” creative or media needs, but by solving real client problems at their root. From understanding the business model to shaping marketing that scales, we work across a multi-level strategy: Media Strategy → Communication Strategy → Brand Strategy → Marketing Strategy (4Ps) → Business Strategy.

Job Description

Why PMAX?

• Because we don’t just train strategists — we build future business leaders – a true CEO factory.
• Because this is where strategy scales — from thinking to doing, from medium-term wins to long-term impact.
• Because PMAX is not just another agency — it’s a place where your next five years of growth happens in two.

Ready to solve bigger problems, with bigger impact?

Join us as a Strategy Manager.

Why This Role is Different?

This is not a traditional planning role.

As a Strategy Manager at PMAX, you operate at the intersection of agency agility and consulting depth:

• You work with top-level decision-makers (CEO, Founder, Chairman) to address complex marketing & business problems.
• You drive solutions from strategy to execution — bridging the gap that most consultants leave behind.
• You influence mid- to long-term growth, not just short-term campaign wins.
• You don’t “pitch ideas” — you advise like a partner, and get invited back because you deliver.

As Strategy Manager at PMAX, you will deliver:

Client Strategy & Advisory

• Solve business-critical problems related to growth, customer strategy, go-to-market, brand performance, and media efficiency.
• Advise across strategic levels depending on context: campaign, brand, portfolio, marketing mix, or organizational design.
• Partner directly with C-suite and senior leaders across industries: FMCG, finance, beauty, tech, and more.

Strategy to Execution

• Co-own implementation with cross-functional teams: media, creative, digital, trade.
• Translate abstract strategy into actionable roadmaps, KPIs, and tracking systems.
• Support clients not just at kickoff, but throughout execution, iteration, and learning.

Thought Leadership & Product Development

• Build and standardize strategic products at PMAX: e.g. KMS, Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM).
• Train and mentor junior strategists, building next-gen capabilities within the team.
• Elevate internal problem-solving culture by introducing frameworks, models, and critical thinking approaches.
