Five roles across strategy, creative, media, and client services.
Senior Brand Strategist
Toronto, ON (remote-flexible across North America)Full-time$95,000 to $125,000 base
You will own brand strategy engagements from positioning through execution.

Most of our clients are in property, professional services, and B2B. You will work across 3 to 5 active accounts at once.
- 6 or more years in brand strategy, with agency or consultancy experience preferred
- Ability to lead client workshops and present strategy at the executive level
- Strong writing skills: you can write a positioning platform, not just talk about one
- Experience with B2B and professional services brands is a meaningful advantage
Performance Marketing Manager
Toronto, ONFull-time$80,000 to $105,000 base
You will manage paid media campaigns across Google, Meta, and LinkedIn for Thornwell clients. Your job is to build, optimize, and report on campaigns that drive measurable business outcomes. You will work closely with brand strategy and content to ensure paid and organic are reinforcing each other. You own the numbers.
- 4 or more years of hands-on paid media experience across at least two major platforms
- Strong analytical skills: comfortable building reports and explaining results to clients

Content Director
Remote, North AmericaFull-time$100,000 to $130,000 base

- 5 or more years of design experience, with a strong portfolio in brand identity and digital
- Proficient in Figma, with working knowledge of Adobe CC
- Ability to present and discuss work confidently with clients
- Experience with professional services, real estate, or finance is a meaningful plus
Account Director
