Role

We’re looking for a Creative Strategist to own the creative direction and performance strategy across client accounts.

What You’ll Do

  • Stay ahead of emerging trends, cultural shifts, and creative formats that move the needle.

What We’re Looking For

  • Exceptional writing ability, ideally in short-form, digital-first content with a portfolio that shows the same.
  • A strategic and creative mindset — equal parts intuitive and data-informed.
  • Deep understanding of consumer behavior, platform algorithms, and brand storytelling.
  • A track record of developing performance-first creative that drives real business results and a knack for interpreting performance data to inform creative pivots.
  • Confident leadership and communication skills, with the ability to inspire creative teams.
  • Passion for mentoring and uplifting others — and making the work better together.
  • Curiosity, initiative, and a genuine love for shaping ideas that make people stop and feel something.

    • Must haves

  • Fluency in written and spoken English is required.
  • A strong portfolio that showcases your thinking, copywriting, and performance creativity across short-form and visual-first content.
  • Comfort with interpreting performance data to inform creative pivots.
  • Experience collaborating across teams and disciplines in a fast-paced environment.
