Job description

About Mammoth Brands
Mammoth Brands (formerly Harry's Inc.) is the modern CPG company behind brands Harry's, Flamingo, Lume, Mando, and Coterie. We're building a new model-and home-brands, founders, and talent looking to solve unmet needs, improve peoples' lives, and ultimately challenge the status quo. Our mission is to "Create Things People Like More." Simply put: everything we do should be better than what already exists. If it's not, we don't do it. This guides everything we do, from developing the best product experiences, to making Mammoth Brands a great place to work, to exploring innovative ways to give back to our community.
We got our start in 2013 when our co-founders created Harry's. They built the brand differently-online first, prioritizing direct relationships with customers-and in the process learned they'd created something bigger: a playbook and platform that could help other brands grow and scale to their full potential, and a vision to reimagine consumer packaged goods. Today, Mammoth Brands is a growing portfolio of brands and the largest CPG company built in the last 20 years. Even as we grow, we take extra care to maintain the small, scrappy, entrepreneurial culture that helped to get us where we are today: to create a company that people like more, that better serves its customers, employees, and community. As a company, we're also committed to making a positive impact and have donated over $20 million through our network of nonprofit partners to date.
About the Role
We're looking for a sharp, versatile Creative Strategist to take the reins on Mando. This isn't a support role. You'll own the creative end-to-end across most of our Mando ad formats: concepting, briefing, creator ops, and final sign-off. You'll be on a team working alongside some of the most talented senior creative minds in the industry, who will be in your corner as a sounding board and partner. The seat is set up so you grow fast, own real outcomes early, and learn from someone exceptional while doing it.
What You'll Do
  • Own Mando creative across Stills, B-Roll, and Partnership/UGC ads. You lead concepting, briefing, and sign-off. Our senior strategist supports and pressure-tests.
  • Partner with our senior strategist on TV spots, supporting on agency selection and co-leading creative review.
  • Run all creator operations for Mando partnership and UGC work: sourcing, briefing, contracting, payment, whitelisting, the whole pipeline.
  • Develop original ad ideas. Hooks, concepts, scripts. Bring them to the senior strategist for feedback and sharpen from there.
  • Recut and remix existing ads quickly to generate high-volume creative iterations. Fast turnarounds are a superpower here.
  • Collaborate with video editors to turn existing footage into fresh ad concepts. Brief clearly and review with a strong creative eye.
  • Cut and produce ads yourself when needed. You won't always have a dedicated editor and that's okay.
  • Pick up new tools fast. AI creative platforms, editing software, growth analytics. Get fluent quickly.
  • Stay close to the customer. Watch ads, read comments, study reviews, and use those insights to inform every creative decision.

Who You Are
  • A rare blend of creative and technical. You have genuine taste AND you can execute.
  • Ready to own a brand. You've been the right hand long enough to know what good looks like, and you're hungry to drive the call.
  • Obsessed with the customer. You think about who you're talking to before you think about what you want to say.
  • A "whatever it takes" operator who doesn't wait to be told what to do and finds a way to get things done.
  • Fast. You move quickly without sacrificing quality, and you know the difference.
  • Energized by AI and new tools. You're not intimidated by new platforms. You're excited to figure them out.
  • Comfortable with ambiguity. You can start from a rough brief, a pile of footage, or just a problem to solve.
  • A strong communicator who can take creative feedback, apply it, and build on it.

What You Bring
  • 3 to 5 years of experience in creative strategy, content production, performance marketing, or a related field.
  • A track record of owning creative for a brand or product line, not just contributing to it.
  • Hands-on experience editing video (Premiere, CapCut, DaVinci Resolve, or similar).
  • Solid direct-response or performance advertising chops. You understand what makes an ad convert, not just look good.
  • Experience running creator operations end-to-end (sourcing, briefing, contracting, whitelisting) is a strong plus.
  • Familiarity with AI creative tools (e.g., AdCreative.ai, Midjourney, Runway, or similar) is a strong plus.
  • Portfolio or work samples showing creative range. Concepts, scripts, edits, anything that shows how you think and what you make.

Why This Role
You'll be the core creative mind behind all growth creative for the Mando brand. Make the calls, see what works, get better fast. Mando is a $50M+ challenger brand going up against a category that's been running the same Old Spice playbook for decades. The world's first high-performing whole body deodorant built for men. pH-optimized to block odor before it starts, not cover it up. Clinically proven. 72-hour odor control, head to toe. You'll be doing it sitting next to some of the sharpest creative minds in the industry, with a real shot to learn from people who are exceptional at this. If you want to take the wheel on a brand millions of people use, come talk to us.
