Who you are
This is not a traditional creative role. We're looking for a performance-driven Creative Strategist who can combine storytelling, data, and experimentation to drive measurable business outcomes. You'll own creative strategy across campaigns, from concept to performance, and play a key role in scaling how we produce and optimize creative.
You'll also leverage AI as a tool to move faster, test more, and improve output, but first and foremost, you are a strong creative thinker grounded in performance marketing.
What You'll Do
Strategic Creative Direction
  • Develop creative strategies and campaign concepts grounded in audience insight and performance goals
  • Write clear, testable creative briefs that drive measurable results
  • Lead creative across key channels (paid social, landing pages, email)
  • Translate data into actionable creative direction and iterate based on performance
Performance Optimization & Experimentation
  • Analyze performance metrics (CTR, CVR, ROAS, etc.) to inform creative decisions
  • Design and execute A/B tests to continuously improve outcomes
  • Connect top-of-funnel creative performance to deeper funnel metrics (conversion, revenue)
  • Identify patterns in performance data and translate them into scalable creative insights
AI-Enabled Creative Workflows
  • Use AI tools to accelerate research, ideation, testing, and production
  • Experiment with AI-driven workflows to increase creative output and speed
  • Identify opportunities to streamline creative processes using automation and tooling
  • Contribute to building repeatable workflows the broader team can adopt

(Note: deep technical system-building is not required, but curiosity and experimentation with AI is essential.)
Client Engagement & Creative Leadership
  • Act as the creative lead for assigned clients and campaigns
  • Present and defend creative strategy with confidence and clarity
  • Provide strategic guidance on messaging, positioning, and creative direction
  • Ensure all deliverables meet a high bar for quality and performance
Project Ownership & Collaboration
  • Own creative timelines and deliverables across multiple campaigns
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with paid media, production, and retention teams
  • Identify risks early and proactively drive solutions
  • Help improve internal creative processes and team efficiency

What You Need
Core Requirements
  • Proven experience in creative strategy, ideally in performance marketing or DTC environments
  • Strong portfolio demonstrating creative work tied to performance outcomes (e.g., ROAS, CTR, conversions)
  • Strong business and market curiosity, with a natural interest in how companies grow, invest, acquire customers, and drive revenue, and a habit of staying up to date on trends across marketing, consumer behavior, and emerging industries.
  • Ability to think across the full funnel, not just top-of-funnel creative
  • Strong copy and concept development skills
  • Excellent communication and ability to present to internal and external stakeholders
  • A problem-solver mindset with the ability to operate in fast-paced, evolving environments
AI & Tools (Important, but Flexible)
  • Experience using AI tools (e.g., Claude, Zapier etc.) to enhance creative workflows
  • Curiosity and willingness to experiment with new tools and approaches
  • Ability to identify opportunities where AI can improve speed, scale, or quality
Nice-to-Haves
  • Experience building or contributing to AI-driven workflows or automations
  • Familiarity with tools like Zapier, Make, or similar platforms
  • Experience training or enabling teams on new tools or processes

This is a hybrid, Los Angeles-based role (3 days in-office in the Culver City area) requiring strong overlap with Mountain Standard Time (MST) working hours to support team collaboration.
