Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Architect the Creative Roadmap
  • Translate client business goals into actionable "Creative Testing Roadmaps." You decide which hooks, angles, and formats we test next.
  • Lead the brainstorming process, pushing the team beyond "best practices" into "next practices."
  • Define the "Winning Formula" for each client—codifying what works so we can scale it across thousands of assets.
  • The Feedback Loop (Data to Creative)
  • Obsess over the "Creative Report Card." You will analyze Thumb-Stop Ratios, Hold Rates, and CTRs daily.
  • Translate complex performance data into simple, actionable feedback for editors and videographers (e.g., "The first 3 seconds are too slow; cut to the product demo immediately").
  • Kill losers fast. Identify creative fatigue before it kills the account and pivot the strategy instantly.
  • Team Leadership & Mentorship
  • Manage and mentor a squad of Strategists, ensuring they aren’t just "order takers" but true strategic partners to their clients.

Requirements

  • The "Performance Creative" Expert
  • 7+ years of experience in creative strategy, paid social strategy, or performance marketing.
  • You know that a "good idea" is only a good idea if it converts. You check your ego at the door and let the data decide.
  • A Master of the "Hook"
  • You understand human psychology. You know exactly what makes someone stop scrolling on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts.
  • You can spot a trend before it peaks and operationalize it for 10 different clients in 24 hours.
  • A Translator
  • You speak two languages fluently: "Creative" (storyboards, pacing, aesthetics) and "Performance" (attribution, lift, scale).
  • You are comfortable presenting to C-Suite executives and brainstorming with Gen Z creators.

Benefits

  • Competitive Compensation: $80,000-100,000/year.
  • High-Impact Work: Direct the creative strategy for high-spend DTC brands where your concepts drive millions in revenue.
  • Relentless Innovation: Work at the cutting edge of AI and Creative Performance.
  • Culture of Scale: Join a team that moves fast, tests constantly, and celebrates the wins.
