About the role
<h3><strong>Who We Are</strong></h3> <p>We are an award-winning independent creative solutions company that aspires to be the most culturally-influential company in the world. We help ambitious brands harness the power of culture to solve their biggest challenges. As a unique mix of experts in culture, technology, and storytelling, we are united by a passion to grow brands in ways that advertising alone can never do.</p> <p>We are an entrepreneurial business — not a traditional "ad agency." That means we value resourcefulness and tenacity just as much as we value creativity and intelligence. We're unapologetically ambitious.</p> <p>We are looking for talented <strong>Context Planners</strong> to join Translation.</p> <h3><strong>What Translation+ Is</strong></h3> <p>Translation+ is our pre-vetted bench of elite freelance talent — the people we call on first when our core team is at capacity or a project demands a very specific skill set. This isn't a cold roster of names we found on a platform. This is a curated circle of trusted collaborators who we know, whose work we believe in, and who we treat as a true extension of our team.</p> <p>What being a part of Translation+ means:<br>→ You're first in line when opportunities open up — no cold pitching, no competing.<br>→ We already know your work — you get the brief and we get moving.<br>→ You're a true addition to our team, not a vendor we found in the 11th hour — making our work and our people better.</p> <h3><strong>What You'll Do</strong></h3> <p>At Translation, Context is a hybrid discipline that sits between Strategy and Creative — choreographing ideas and diffusing them through culture. Our Context Planners influence everything from cultural intelligence and world-building to talent casting, 360º media strategy, and go-to-market plans, always with a sharp focus on the right place, the right time, and the right people.</p> <p>Whether you're a senior planner leading multi-agency ecosystems and client relationships, a mid-level planner building channel strategies and translating insight into action, or an emerging planner developing your craft — If you understand how culture moves through media and can help define what should be considered media in the first place, we want you on our roster.</p> <h3><strong>How We Engage</strong></h3> <p>We keep our process simple and intentional — because your time matters. Here's what to expect:</p> <p><strong>Step 1 — Screener Interview</strong> A conversation with someone from our Talent team to get to know you, understand your background, and make sure we're aligned on what you're looking for.</p> <p><strong>Step 2 — Department Interview</strong> A deep
