Strategy Director

Instrument is a design and technology company. We build brands, products, and experiences that move businesses forward—by making the complex simple.

For over 20 years, we’ve partnered with companies like Google, ServiceNow, Uber, Eventbrite, and ŌURA, helping them navigate change, launch new ideas, and grow with intention.

Our work spans Brand, Marketing, and Product, but what defines us is how we work. We bring strategy, design, and engineering together from the start, moving quickly from idea to execution and refining as we go. We aim to do great work and be great to work with, because both matter.

We’re a collaborative, hands-on team with roots in Portland and New York and a distributed presence across the U.S. and Europe. We build teams around the needs of the work, staying nimble without sacrificing craft.

We value curiosity, perspective, and continuous learning, and we’re committed to building an inclusive environment where people can do their best work.

If that sounds like you, we’d love to meet you.

As a Strategy Director, you'll lead the strategy behind digital brand experiences, helping transform brands into thoughtful, user-centered digital experiences. You'll oversee a team of UX strategists while partnering closely with design, production, and leadership to ensure our work is strategically strong, operationally sound, and positioned for growth.

This role balances four key areas: leading and developing a team of strategists, guiding strategy across client engagements, partnering on staffing and team operations, and driving strategy for new business opportunities. You'll have the opportunity to mentor your team, shape strategic approaches for digital experiences, and collaborate across disciplines to deliver exceptional work for a diverse portfolio of clients.
