Senior Strategist / Account Planner
You’ve built brands. Now build a movement.
Inclusive Minds · Hyderabad · Full-time · On-site
Most strategy jobs end in a deck that wins a pitch and sells a little more shampoo. Yours ends in an idea a state argues about by evening.
We’re Inclusive Minds — India’s only full-service political consultancy with a national footprint, working alongside the Indian National Congress. We build the campaigns and narratives that show up on your feed, your TV and your group chats during election season — the stuff that actually moves the conversation. You’re the one who finds the insight, cracks the idea, and builds the argument that carries it — from blank page to the room where it gets bought.
WHAT YOU’LL ACTUALLY BE DOING
- Find the insight and crack the big idea — the through-line a whole campaign hangs on
- Turn briefs into strategy, and strategy into work that actually ships
- Build decks that win the room — the pitch is the product, not paperwork
- Work shoulder-to-shoulder with design, content and media to carry an idea from page to every screen and street
- Sharpen the narrative as the news cycle moves — keep the story ours
You won’t polish decks that die in review. You’ll build the argument — and watch it run.
WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU
- Minimum 3 years in an ad agency — planning, copywriting or strategy
- A real body of work in branding, campaigns and ideation
- Deck skills that win rooms — genuinely sharp in PowerPoint, not “familiar with”
- A strategist’s head and a copywriter’s hand, in the same person
- A point of view on where India’s headed, and the nerve to back it
BONUS POINTS IF YOU
- Have pitched and won work you had no business winning
- Follow Indian politics closely enough to have opinions about it
- Telugu a plus
WHY THIS ONE’S DIFFERENT
The ideas you crack here don’t sell soap people forget by lunch — they shape what a country talks about by evening. The deck doesn’t die in a client’s inbox. It ships, at national scale, in front of lakhs and crores.
DON’T APPLY IF
- Your best ideas live in a folder of rejected decks and you’ve made peace with that
- You want sign-off before every creative call
- A slow, safe, predictable process suits you fine
APPLY IF
- You’re done making people switch shampoos and want to move something bigger
- You can think the strategy and write the line
- You like owning the idea from blank page to live
Ready? Send the campaigns, decks and ideas you’re proudest of. The work is the application — show us the work, not a paragraph about it.
