We’re creating a culture we can’t wait to come back to each Monday—and we’re looking for talented facilitators, strategists, writers and designers who want to be part of it.

Our team is made up of the best and the brightest from outdoor, wellness and technical apparel brands all over the world. We believe in bold work and bold living.

Current Openings

Ocacé

We’re an ambitious team that values Ownership, Co-creation, Adventure, Curiosity and Empathy—above all else. We call it OCACÉ for short.

Simply put, we believe in the work we’re doing and make sure our “Why” is at the heart of every decision we make. Oh, and perks are nice, too. For example…

Hybrid work set-up.

We ask that you’re in our Vancouver office two days a week, because…

Collaboration is key to getting our best work done.

That, and we really like raising a glass together now and then.

We pursue education relentlessly.

From decolonization workshops to your own Professional Development Fund, staying educated is a priority (and we choose to invest in you).

Our books are open, literally.

We have a quarterly financial review with the entire team, so you can see where every dollar goes.

Quarterly team offsites.

Think strategic alignment and team-bonding that’s actually really fun. Offsites include a little work, a little play and a lot of time spent outdoors together.

We stay cultured, baby.

Art shows, run clubs, Whitecaps tickets and a great office library are just a few of the ways we keep culture alive at Monday.

THE JOB

Monday is looking for a Strategy Director to join our Vancouver team. You are an agency veteran (bonus points for in-house brand experience) who has touched nearly every aspect of creative strategy—trend, audience, brand, marketing and campaign. You have developed high concept global campaigns and also understand the levers to pull in a holistic engagement plan. You give and receive feedback with curiosity and openness. You’re an optimist and a risk taker who lives and breathes the outdoors.

In this role you’ll exercise your creativity, collaboration and people management skills daily. You’ll be overseeing and gradually growing a team of strategists, researchers, writers and account managers—refining and establishing processes and best practices. You’ll also work closely with our clients, managing key relationships and seeking new opportunities for business growth.

The person best suited for this role has worked with direct-to-consumer/retail brands but can also flex into non-profit, real estate and education space as work requires. Strong presentation and writing skills are a must—you’ll be shaping brand stories and messaging and leading client workshops. You will report to our CEO, while working closely with our team in our Vancouver Headquarters (hybrid - 2 days/week in office minimum).
