Job Summary

Own the creative strategy direction and campaign ideation for an early-stage startup with founders; shape messaging for creative industry audiences.

  • Lead campaign and content ideation with the founding team
  • Must-have: 6+ years in creative strategy within agencies or creative services
  • Standout: Deep understanding of agency thought processes and where ideas stall

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • You\'ll be the creative and strategic voice in the room — working directly with our founding team to shape how we talk about ideas, how we develop campaigns and content, and how we bring our product\'s value to life for creative industry audiences.
  • This isn\'t a support role. You\'ll set direction, push back when instincts are wrong, and have real influence on what we build.
  • Day to day, that means leading campaign and content ideation, building frameworks for how we evaluate creative concepts, and being the person on our team who viscerally understands how agencies think, decide, and sometimes get stuck.

Requirements

  • 6+ years in creative strategy, with meaningful time inside agencies or creative services environments
  • A strong point of view on what makes ideas work — and the ability to articulate it clearly, not just feel it
  • Experience leading ideation processes, not just participating in them
  • Comfortable working in ambiguity at an early-stage company where the brief isn\'t always perfectly formed
  • Based in San Francisco — we work hybrid and value real in-person time
  • Familiarity with AI-assisted creative workflows is a genuine plus

Preferred

  • Curiosity about the intersection of creativity and technology
  • Familiarity with AI-assisted creative workflows is a genuine plus — (not duplicating requirements)

Benefits

  • Competitive senior-level salary + equity
  • Hybrid in SF — real office time with a small, focused team
  • Direct access to founders and meaningful say in company direction
  • The kind of early-stage role where your fingerprints are on everything
