Creative Strategist for Scaling Dropshipping Brand (Full-Time, Meta Ads / UGC)

Type: Full-time contract · $4,000–$5,000/mo · Long-term --- What we do We run a high-volume dropshipping brand testing new products constantly on Meta. Our growth engine is creative — UGC video, remix/mashup ads, and AI-generated statics shipped as a steady stream every other day. We don't do "boost a post and pray." We test angles, read data, double down on winners, and kill losers fast. We're looking for a Creative Strategist to own our creative pipeline end-to-end so creative stops being a bottleneck on scale. This is NOT a video editing role. You won't be in CapCut. You'll be the brain that tells editors what to make and why. --- What you'll own - Marketing angles — Study products, audiences, and competitors. Develop multiple distinct angles per product (pain points, desire, mechanism, social proof, status, etc.). You think in terms of awareness levels and market sophistication, not "make it look nice." - Creative briefs — Write clear, tight briefs editors can execute without back-and-forth: hook, script/voiceover, scene-by-scene direction, reference clips, format, aspect ratio, CTA. - Editor management (full ownership) — Assign work across our editor roster, track turnaround, follow up, request revisions, QC final cuts, and approve. You run the roster; we only see the winners. - Data-driven iteration — Read performance daily in Triple Whale and Atria (plus Meta Ads Manager). Diagnose what's working: which hooks, angles, and formats win. Use CTR / CPC / CPM / CVR / ROAS to decide what to scale, kill, or remix. - Winner systematization — When a creative wins, spin up variations (new hooks, new openers, new formats) to extend its life. When it dies, diagnose why and replace it. - AI creative direction — Brief and direct AI tools (Higgsfield, AI statics/video) as part of the creative mix. You don't need to be an expert operator on day one, but you should be hungry to use them. --- You're a fit if you have - 2+ years as a creative strategist or media buyer for dropshipping / DTC / performance brands (not agency brand work — direct-response e-commerce). - A real track record of creatives that scaled. You can show before/after on a hook test or a winning angle you built. - Fluency reading paid-social data — you know what a healthy CTR vs CPC vs CVR tells you about whether the ad or the page is the problem. - Experience managing video editors and giving revision feedback that actually lands. - Strong English writing (briefs and scripts must be crisp). - Familiarity with Triple Whale and Atria (or comparable — Motion, Northbeam, etc.). - Bonus: you've used UGC creators, hands-on with AI creative tools, or have a UGC/short-form content background. Hours: Full-time, overlap with [your timezone] required for daily data reviews and editor sync. --- Test task: Shortlisted candidates get a real product from our store, a sample data screenshot, and are asked to deliver 3 distinct marketing angles + 1 full creative brief. This is the real filter. Strong test = job offer.
