Strategy Associate
Metro Manila · Full-time
Solve clients' hardest problems across strategy, growth, and Creatology — and help define the games they play next.
We are a small firm with a large ambition, and we hire the way we work — selectively, for the rare people who can create value where none existed. If that's you, the door is open.
Most firms hand you a template and a ladder. We hand you the hardest problems our clients have, and the discipline to solve them. You will not be one of ten thousand. You will sit close to the decisions that matter, learn Creatology from the people who practise it, and build a body of work — ventures launched, capabilities installed, ideas published — that follows you for the rest of your career.
Small teams, real responsibility, and a seat near the decisions — from day one, not year five.
Creatology and the six lenses, taught by the people who built the practice. The discipline compounds.
What you build here is named, published, and shipped — a portfolio, not just a payslip.
Credentials open doors; they don't do the work. We look for a particular kind of mind — and we'll take it over a pedigree every time.
We respect your time and our own. No riddles, no week-long unpaid assignments — just a clear path to a clear decision.
About the work, and about what you actually want from a career. Both directions matter.
An anonymised problem, approached the way we'd actually approach it — so you see us, and we see you.
The people you'd work beside. They meet you. Fit runs both ways.
If it's right for both sides, we don't make you wait.
Likhaan is not a playground for average performers. It is a high-altitude arena. When you join us, you are not sitting on the sidelines or just running errands. You are directly in the room when the stakes are at their absolute highest. You will be sitting across from high level executives, dissecting the exact make-or-break problems that keep them awake at night. Is the pace intense? Extremely. Are the expectations heavy? Yes, by design. This environment is built exclusively for people who crave a challenge and want to win. You will compress a decade of career growth into a fraction of the time because you are backed by elite teams obsessed with mutual excellence and delivering undeniable client victories. Whether you log a year with us or 10, you will walk away with a highly specialised weapon: a command of strategies that put you years ahead of your peers. We don't just change your job description; we completely alter the trajectory of your power in the market.
Solve clients' hardest problems across strategy, growth, and Creatology — and help define the games they play next.
Advance the science of creation through original research, method-building, and teaching at the Institute.
Carry ideas from insight to working prototype to launched venture — building, not just advising.
Turn data, AI, and platforms into advantage rather than expenditure for our clients and our own ventures.
Shape the firm's published thinking — insights, reports, and the books of Likhaan Press.
Keep the firm and the Institute running with the same rigour we bring to client work.
The best people rarely wait for a job posting. Neither should you.
If you can create value others can't, write to us — tell us what you'd build here, and why. We read every letter, and the right one makes its own role.
