Job Summary

Own and evolve the creative strategy for performance channels across paid media, leading structured testing, CRO-informed landing experience, and cross-functional partnership to drive measurable campaign improvements.

  • Own and maintain the creative strategy across paid channels with a structured testing roadmap
  • Bridge performance data and creative execution to translate insights into actionable learnings

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Creative Strategy & Briefing
  • Develop insight-driven creative briefs that give our creative team clear direction on concept, message, format, audience, and channel — so they can execute without ambiguity
  • Own the creative strategy across paid channels (Meta, TikTok, YouTube, Google, etc.), ensuring every asset has a clear rationale tied to performance goals
  • Partner closely with paid search and paid social channel leads to understand performance gaps and translate them into testable creative hypotheses
  • Synthesize competitive creative trends, platform-specific best practices, and audience signals to continuously sharpen our creative approach
  • Serve as the connective tissue between performance data and creative execution — bridging what the numbers say and what gets made
  • Experimentation & Testing
  • Partner with paid channel leads to build and maintain a structured creative testing roadmap — prioritizing hypotheses, defining success metrics, and translating results into learnings the team can act on
  • Design experiments across ad creative variables (copy, hook, format, visual, CTA) with clear A/B or multivariate structures
  • Own the creative learnings repository — documenting what works, what doesn’t, and why — so institutional knowledge compounds over time

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in creative strategy for performance or growth marketing, with hands-on experience across paid social and/or paid search
  • Proven ability to develop creative briefs and testing frameworks that drive measurable improvements in paid campaign performance
  • Strong data fluency — you’re comfortable pulling from creative analytics tools and translating performance signals into strategic direction on your own
  • Deep familiarity with platform-specific creative best practices across Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and/or Google
  • Working knowledge of CRO principles and landing page strategy — you understand how traffic source and audience intent should shape the page experience, even if you’re not the one building it
  • Excellent communicator who can present findings and recommendations clearly to creative teams and non-marketing stakeholders alike
  • A bias for systems and structure — you build processes that make the team smarter over time, not just solve for the immediate problem
  • Comfortable operating in a cross-functional environment where influence without direct authority is the norm
  • Experience in SaaS, marketplace, or B2B2C environments is a plus

Benefits

  • Attractive Compensation & Performance Bonuses: Enjoy a competitive salary paired with performance-based bonuses
  • Generous PTO: 15 accrued days, plus 10 company holidays annually.
  • Health & Wellness: Comprehensive healthcare, dental, and vision plans for you and your family. 🏥
  • Exclusive Perks: Discounts on attractions, theme parks, shows, sports events, movies, hotels, and more through TicketsAtWork. 🎟️
  • Beauty Perks: $30/month reimbursement for any Vagaro service, including health, beauty, or wellness treatments. 💅
  • Food Perks: $50 monthly stipend for our onsite microkitchen and a complimentary DoorDash DashPass subscription. 🍽️
  • Growth Opportunities: College Assistance Reimbursement, access to EAP & Work/Life Programs, and a LinkedIn Learning account. 📚
  • Financial Security: 401k program with 4% matching and optional life/supplemental insurance. 💰
  • Stay Active: Access to our on-site gym, flavored water dispenser, and basketball court to keep you fit and energized! 🏀
