Job Description
Collider Lab is a bunch of planners, anthropologists, trend experts, and innovators collaborating on some pretty cool projects around the world. A few years ago we were acquired by Yum! Brands, so we’re a mix of agency and client-side. Just the right mix of both, actually. We work pretty intensely with Taco Bell, helping them come up with the next Doritos Locos Taco and reimagine the buying experience, among other fun things. We also help KFC rethink their brand in France, the UK, and in about 25 other countries. We’ve also had the good fortune to work closely with Nestlé, Pizza Hut, Hulu, Pepsi, and other great brands. We’re passionate devotees of Behavioral Economics, irrational thinking, storytelling, and the power of culture to elevate—or destroy a brand. We travel locally and internationally doing projects around the world but spend most of our time hanging out at our lab throwing up ideas on the wall and geeking out over cultural trends, diverse communities, marketing, and brain science. We’re currently looking for an Associate Strategist to join our team in Orange County, California (although remote for at least the remainder of 2020). In this role, you’ll be partnered up with a Senior Strategist, work closely with a Director, and own a different project every month or so. These projects vary from innovation to positioning to rethinking the future of the business. You’ll be presenting directly to C-level clients regularly and have the flexibility to try out new, creative approaches on each project. The ideal candidate has a special superpower: you’re either a culture guru, an anthro-master, a data geek, or dialed-in to the experience of minority groups. As long as it helps make you deeply insightful and creative, we’re interested!
THIS JOB WILL BE DONE REMOTELY UNTIL AT LEAST AFTER COVID. Afterward, we will consider either relocation or continuing working remotely, depending on your preference.
