Ecosystem Experts

They are generally strategy first and like to measure twice and cut once rather than charge in head first. They have enough experience to know what they know and what they do not.

What Is a Visioneer at Consciously?

At Consciously, a Visioneer is not just a strategist. A Visioneer is a systems thinker, brand futurist, and stakeholder-centered architect of transformation. It’s a role for those who can bridge creative brilliance with structural intelligence. Someone who doesn’t just think outside the box—they dissolve the box and reimagine the ecosystem.

We coined the term Visioneer to reflect a new kind of leadership in strategy—one grounded in ethics, equity, imagination, and execution. Visioneers are the connective tissue across everything we do for clients—from discovery to delivery, from stakeholder insight to storytelling systems.

What Is a Visioneer at Consciously?

At Consciously, we use the title Visioneer to describe a new kind of strategist—one who merges creative imagination with structural intelligence to design stakeholder ecosystems that are ethical, inclusive, and future-ready. This role is not about business-as-usual consulting. It’s about building brands and systems that align with both values and value. Visioneers operate at the intersection of systems thinking, brand development, market relevance, and long-term social impact.

A Visioneer doesn’t simply guide marketing or communications. They serve as the strategic lead across everything we deliver—nurturing insights, aligning internal operations with external positioning, and designing ecosystems that regenerate trust, activate communities, and deliver performance rooted in justice and purpose. If you’re applying to be a Visioneer, you’re stepping into a role that asks you to think holistically, design intentionally, and lead ethically.

The Role: Ecosystem Designer (Strategy Lead)

The Visioneer is Consciously’s title for the ecosystem designer and strategy lead—the person responsible for aligning a client’s brand, positioning, communications, and stakeholder engagement into a cohesive and dynamic whole. You will work across our portfolio of clients in industries including technology, social enterprise, philanthropy, public sector, and culture.

This role is central to our process: you lead client discovery, synthesize insights, develop positioning platforms, and architect brand systems that are resilient, culturally intelligent, and scalable. You’ll be responsible for setting the strategic direction that shapes brand design, digital experiences, marketing campaigns, and organizational alignment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead brand and business discovery, including stakeholder interviews, research analysis, and insight framing.

• Develop positioning, messaging, and strategic frameworks for internal and external brand alignment.

• Architect ecosystems that integrate narrative, design, marketing, and operations into a coherent system.

• Facilitate workshops and co-creation sessions with clients, partners, and community stakeholders.

• Partner with creative, marketing, and operations teams to ensure strategic integrity through execution.

How Visioneers Think

Visioneers bring together imagination, analysis, and ethics. You are comfortable moving between the abstract and the practical. You recognize how culture, identity, systems, and power intersect within business, and you design with this complexity in mind. Visioneers are comfortable not having all the answers up front—because the process of designing a strategic ecosystem requires listening, iterating, and moving through ambiguity with clarity of purpose.

You are not limited to industry standards or conventional logic. Instead, you lead with curiosity, insight, and a commitment to aligning values with structures. You know that the best systems are those that include multiple perspectives, distribute agency, and create the conditions for growth without exploitation.

You might be a Visioneer if you:

• See patterns in business, brand, and stakeholder behavior and turn them into usable strategy.

• Are passionate about the long arc of equity, sustainability, and system change—not just short-term wins.

• Know how to move between visionary frameworks and detailed deliverables without losing either.

• Build strategy that resonates emotionally and operates structurally.

The Brand Trust Pillars We Live By

At Consciously, our strategic and cultural framework is grounded in the 8 Brand Trust Pillars. These aren’t just external client-facing concepts—they’re how we design our own company and work culture, and how we evaluate the impact of every Visioneer’s work.

1. Compass – Visioneers must lead with purpose. We ask difficult questions and design with an ethical north star that ensures integrity in our strategies.

2. Competency – Excellence in strategy requires rigor. Our work must hold up under scrutiny, perform under pressure, and deliver results with precision.

3. Culture – We believe brands are cultural agents. You must understand context, honor history, and help shape the future through strategic storytelling.

4. Degrowth – We do not worship scale for scale’s sake. Visioneers help clients grow wisely, with intention, restraint, and attention to ecological and human well-being.

5. Location – Place matters. We pay attention to the geography, community, and political conditions that shape a brand’s impact.

6. Sustainability – Visioneers help organizations design for resilience—strategies must endure beyond a moment, trend, or campaign.

7. Equity – Inclusion is a baseline, but equity is the practice. We examine power dynamics, invite marginalized voices, and design with justice at the core.

8. Systems – We design the architecture of how things connect. Visioneers build networks, workflows, narratives, and cultures that operate as systems, not silos.

Working at Consciously means you’ll engage all eight pillars, not only in your deliverables, but in how you show up in collaboration, leadership, and long-term thinking.

What You’ll Help Clients Do

Visioneers are responsible for shaping the way our clients see themselves and how they relate to the world. You will help founders, executive teams, and communications leaders understand who they are, whom they serve, and how to structure their brand for lasting impact.

This means working at multiple levels—from the voice and message of a single campaign to the governance and stakeholder model of an entire organization. You’ll support companies in building internal alignment, activating external audiences, and creating narratives that reflect their deepest commitments and most ambitious goals.

Outcomes You’ll Drive:

• Stakeholder alignment across internal and external communities.

• Clear, differentiated brand positioning grounded in purpose.

• Ecosystem strategies that integrate brand, operations, and growth.

• Messaging architectures that scale across teams and touchpoints.

• Trust-based marketing systems that build authentic community relationships.

Who Should Apply

We’re looking for individuals who are passionate about justice, design, futures, and transformation. Ideal candidates come from diverse disciplines—strategy, research, consulting, community engagement, brand, innovation, systems design, or policy.

You should be fluent in complex problem-solving, grounded in equity and culture, and experienced in strategic leadership. If you’re someone who thrives in a collaborative and emergent environment, and you want to build brands that make change—not just noise—then this may be the place for you.

You’ll thrive here if you:

• Are a rigorous thinker who also leads with empathy and imagination.

• Have experience managing strategic engagements across sectors.

• Are comfortable with ambiguity and thrive in fast-moving, high-trust environments.

• Want to reimagine what a strategy firm can be—and who it can serve.

The Role: Ecosystem Designer (Strategy Lead)

As a Visioneer, you are the strategy lead across Consciously’s portfolio of values-aligned clients—from social enterprises to global B Corps, from tech startups to community organizations. You don’t just develop positioning and campaigns—you design strategic ecosystems that can regenerate themselves over time.

This means aligning a brand’s internal values with external impact, working through the lenses of justice, identity, future trends, stakeholder needs, and marketing performance.

You will:

• Conduct stakeholder mapping and insight synthesis across markets, teams, and communities.

• Lead strategic development of brand ecosystems that are human, scalable, and soulful.

• Translate complex ideas into clear positioning, story frameworks, and impact architecture.

• Partner with cross-functional collaborators—creative, tech, data, operations—to bring it all to life.

How Visioneers Think

Visioneers embody a rare mix of dreamer, builder, and diplomat. You don’t work linearly. You work in loops, seeing the invisible threads between leadership decisions, stakeholder trust, marketing narratives, and systemic impact.

A Visioneer is:

• Fluent in futures, but grounded in day-to-day execution.

• A pattern-seeker, seeing how brand, tech, people, and purpose weave together.

• Obsessed with equity—not just as a value but as a design principle.

• Comfortable with ambiguity and bold enough to ask, “What if we did it differently?”

Brand Trust Pillars Alignment

Visioneers anchor their work in our 8 Brand Trust Pillars framework:

• Systems: You design for scale and coherence, not just deliverables.

• Equity: You center the voices often left out of strategy rooms.

• Competency: You hold high standards for excellence, clarity, and resonance.

• Compass: You lead with a clear ethical and strategic direction.

What You’ll Help Clients Do

• Connect values to value—translating vision into market advantage.

• Build stakeholder relationships that turn into communities, not just audiences.

• Architect brand systems that hold together under complexity and scale.

• Craft narratives and activations that influence behavior and policy, not just sales.

Who Should Apply

You’re a great fit if you:

• Have experience in brand strategy, systems design, equity-centered consulting, or futures thinking.

• See marketing and business as tools for transformation, not just transactions.

• Are as comfortable with Miro boards and stakeholder maps as you are with campaign language or investor decks.

• Want to be part of a team that’s redefining what marketing and strategy can mean for companies with a conscience.
