B2B Brand & Narrative Strategist
Role & Responsibilities
HAUS is seeking a senior Brand & Narrative Strategist to join our Creative team and lead messaging and positioning work for our deep tech clients. You'll develop the narrative foundation — positioning, key messages, brand voice — that flows directly into the creative deliverables our team outputs: websites, pitch decks, sales collateral, and video storytelling. The ideal person will be responsible for the following:
- Lead narrative and messaging development that directly feeds Creative's deliverables: positioning, brand voice, key messages, and story architecture for websites, pitch decks, and sales collateral.
- Partner directly with founders and executive teams to translate complex, technical work into language that lands with investors, customers, and talent.
- Work hand-in-hand with Creative Directors and designers from the earliest stages of a project, ensuring messaging and visual identity are built together rather than bolted on afterward.
- Develop messaging frameworks, boilerplates, taglines, and value propositions that hold up across every deliverable the Creative team produces.
- Guide clients through positioning exercises — competitive landscape, audience segmentation, differentiation — and turn that thinking into a clear point of view Creative can build from.
- Support clients through fundraising moments by shaping investor-facing narrative and messaging, especially within pitch decks.
- Review copy and messaging across Creative deliverables before they reach clients, ensuring narrative consistency and strategic rigor.
- Share narrative and positioning insights with the PR team so press strategy stays aligned with what Creative is building.
- Contribute to new business: help shape point of view for pitches and articulate why HAUS's strategic thinking is differentiated.
- Help build the narrative/strategy practice at HAUS, embedded within Creative — frameworks, templates, and processes that don't fully exist yet.
Requirements
- B2B experience: our clients are all venture-backed, B2B, deep tech companies selling to sophisticated technical and investor audiences, and this role should have a strong B2B marketing or brand strategy background rather than consumer/B2C.
- Direct experience with venture-backed startups and fundraising — particularly building narrative and positioning for investor decks — is extremely valuable.
- 6+ years of experience in brand strategy, messaging, copywriting, or narrative development, ideally within a creative agency or in-house brand/creative team.
- A portfolio of strategic work — positioning documents, messaging frameworks, brand narratives — not just finished copy.
- Proven ability to translate technical or complex subject matter into clear, compelling language for multiple audiences.
- Excellent writing and editing skills, with a sharp ear for voice and tone.
- Comfort partnering closely with designers and Creative Directors, shaping messaging and visual identity together rather than handing off a document.
- Experience leading client relationships and presenting strategic recommendations directly to founders and executives.
- Comfort operating with ambiguity and building processes where few exist yet.
- Genuine curiosity about emerging technology and science; prior exposure to AI, aerospace, biotech, climate, defense, or a similar sector is a strong plus.
- Bachelor's degree in a relevant field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Must love deep tech.
