Role Overview
The Campaign team can execute brilliantly. What they need is someone who can tell them exactly what to execute — and why it’ll work.
At Orange & Gray, the Campaign Strategist is the senior strategic brain behind our campaign output. This is a high-level, part-time role (40 hours per month) focused on one thing: making sure every campaign we run for our members is sharp, purposeful, and built to drive results. You ideate the campaigns, provide clear creative direction, and ensure the team understands what to build, who it’s for, and what it needs to achieve.
You’re not executing. You’re not writing copy or building emails. You’re the person who sits above the production line and makes sure it’s pointed in the right direction. You understand our members’ markets, you know what kinds of campaigns move the needle for independent audiology practices, and you can translate that into clear briefs that the Campaign team can pick up and run with.
You’ll also bring a practical understanding of resource capacity — knowing what’s realistic given the team’s bandwidth and ensuring your campaign plans are ambitious but achievable. Strategy without execution awareness is just a wish list, and that’s not what we need.
This is a part-time role (40 hours per month / approximately 10 hours per week).
Open to employed part-time candidates and contractors.
About Us
Our mission is simple: maximise the number of ears helped. We do that by helping independent hearing care clinics outperform the Goliaths — the big box retailers and manufacturers trying to commoditise their industry. Every website we build, every campaign we run, every piece of content we create exists to help private practice owners become the obvious choice in their community — so more people get the hearing care they deserve from people who genuinely care.
Founded in 2017, we partner with just over 80 of the world’s best hearing care practices across North America. Our goal is to help 1 million ears by 2036 — and every role in this business exists to move that number. With a small yet dynamic team of less than 20 people and a brand new HQ on the way, it’s a culture where people who care about results and impact flourish.
We live by three values:
- Results Focused — we prioritise outcomes over processes. We own our responsibilities fully. We only win when our members win.
- Growth Mindset — we believe in doing better than yesterday. We innovate or evaporate. We solve challenges others shy away from.
- Give a Sh*t — we take personal pride in everything we do. We celebrate wins and feel the losses as one.
How This Role Fits
You’ll work within the Campaign department, alongside the Campaign Lead who runs the day-to-day operations of the team. Think of it as a partnership: the Campaign Lead manages the people, the workloads, and the output; you provide the strategic direction that shapes what they produce.
You’ll also collaborate with Account Management (who understand what members need and where the opportunities are) and with leadership (who set the wider marketing strategy and business direction). Your campaign ideas need to ladder up to the company’s overall strategy while being grounded in what’s actually achievable with the resources available.
This sits within our broader service delivery function, which operates across three departments: Account Management, Technical Delivery, and Campaign. You’re the strategic layer that sits across Campaign and ensures everything the department produces is purposeful, not just productive.
How We Work
We’re opening a new Orange & Gray HQ and moving to a hybrid model. For a part-time strategic role like this, we’d expect you to be available for key planning sessions, campaign reviews, and alignment meetings at the HQ — but the majority of your 40 hours can be worked flexibly from wherever suits you best.
What matters is the quality of your thinking and the clarity of your direction, not where you happen to be sitting when you do it.
What You’ll Do
Ideate Campaigns That Drive Results
- Develop campaign concepts and strategies for the full member portfolio — campaigns that are designed to generate appointments, build reputation, and strengthen each member’s position in their local market
- Build out campaign briefs that give the execution team everything they need: the objective, the audience, the message, the format, and the success criteria
- Ensure campaigns are varied, fresh, and strategically sound — not the same plays recycled quarter after quarter
- Draw on what’s working across the membership network and turn member-level insights into scalable campaign ideas Stay current with marketing trends, healthcare marketing shifts, and what’s working in local market advertising
Provide Clear Creative Direction
- Give the Campaign team clear, actionable direction for every campaign — no ambiguity about what needs to be produced or why
- Set the strategic tone for content, messaging, and positioning across campaigns so the output is cohesive and on-strategy
- Review campaign output at a strategic level — is this campaign saying the right thing to the right audience in the right way?
- Work with the Campaign Lead to ensure strategic direction translates into practical execution without losing the intent
Understand Resource Capacity
- Plan campaigns with a realistic understanding of what the team can deliver — ambition without awareness is a recipe for missed deadlines and burnout
- Work with the Campaign Lead to understand team bandwidth and shape campaign plans that are achievable within current capacity
- Prioritise and sequence campaigns so the most impactful work gets done first and nothing critical gets crowded out
- Flag when a campaign idea requires resources beyond current capacity so leadership can plan accordingly
What We’re Looking For
We need a strategic thinker who can turn business objectives into campaign plans — and who understands the difference between a clever idea and one that actually drives results.
To be considered, you should have:
- Campaign strategy experience — you’ve developed multi-channel campaign strategies that delivered measurable outcomes. You can show a track record of campaigns that worked, not just campaigns that existed
- Briefing and direction skills — you can write a campaign brief that a team can pick up and execute without needing to come back with twenty questions. Clarity is your superpower
- Audience and market understanding — you know how to think about target audiences, local market dynamics, and competitive positioning. You build campaigns from insight, not assumption
- Commercial mindset — every campaign you develop has a clear purpose tied to a business outcome. You don’t create for the sake of creating
- Operational awareness — you understand what it takes to execute a campaign and you plan accordingly. Your ideas are ambitious and achievable Collaborative instincts — you can work with a Campaign Lead, Account Managers, and leadership to shape strategy that everyone can get behind and execute
- Communication skills — you can articulate a campaign idea, defend a strategic choice, and inspire a team to deliver their best work
Nice to have (but not essential):
- Experience in a marketing agency or productised service environment
- Experience developing campaigns for healthcare, audiology, or local service businesses
- Experience working with US-based clients or US local markets
- Experience with email marketing, content marketing, and database-driven campaign strategies
How We’ll Measure Success
You’ll know you’re winning when:
- Campaign concepts are consistently fresh, strategic, and aligned with member objectives
- Campaign briefs are clear enough that the execution team can pick them up and run — minimal back-and-forth
- Campaign performance metrics (open rates, click-through rates, engagement, conversions) are trending upward
- The Campaign Lead and their team feel well-directed, not confused or second-guessing the strategy
- Campaign plans are achievable within team capacity — ambitious without being unrealistic
- Members are seeing the impact of campaigns in their practices — more appointments, stronger reputation, better community positioning
