Paid social is our main acquisition channel and we are scaling across Meta, TikTok, Google and other channels. We produce a high volume of creative every week, supported by an AI-driven production team. The role We are looking for a Senior Creative Strategist who owns the creative pipeline end to end: from research and angle development, to scripts and briefs, to clear visual direction for our production team, to reading performance data and deciding what gets iterated next.

You would rather ship ten concepts and learn than polish one for a week What we offer Full ownership of creative strategy for a brand that is already scaling, not a startup looking for product market fit Long-term, full-time contract with room to grow into creative leadership as we expand internationally Performance-based bonus on top of your base rate Direct line to the founders, no layers, decisions made same day Real budget behind your ideas, so your work gets tested at scale within days Details Type: long-term contract, full-time (40 hours per week) Rate: Competitive flat fee, plus performance bonus Location: fully remote. How to apply Please do not send a generic cover letter. Instead, include the following: Two or three ads you personally conceptualized that scaled.
