Requirements

We are hiring a Junior Creative Strategist - not just a designer.

This role blends:

• Performance creative
• Data interpretation
• Structured testing
• Catalog-driven advertising
• Client collaboration

You will work on paid social creative for fast-growing D2C brands - building and iterating catalog ads that directly impact revenue.

This is not a "make it look pretty" job.
This is a "make it convert" job.

You will:

• Build DPA templates that scale across product feeds
• Analyze performance data to identify creative winners
• Help structure testing frameworks
• Learn how creative decisions influence ROAS
• Collaborate directly with CSMs, strategists, and clients

You'll see your work in market - and you'll see the revenue it drives.

• Build scalable, feed-driven templates
• Develop structured creative variations for testing
• Create hooks, headlines, layouts, and visual hierarchies optimized for conversion
• Translate performance insights into new creative directions

• Review campaign data with Customer Success Managers
• Interpret CTR, CVR, ROAS, CPA, and engagement metrics
• Identify patterns across winning creatives
• Contribute insights into what's working (and why)
• Help build creative reporting summaries for clients

You will become fluent in creative-performance feedback loops.

• Work within dynamic product ad systems
• Understand how product feeds influence creative output
• Design for scalability across hundreds or thousands of SKUs
• Think in systems - not one-off assets

This is a rare opportunity to learn catalog infrastructure as creative leverage.

• Participate in internal strategy discussions
• Contribute to creative presentations
• Iterate quickly based on client and performance feedback
• Work closely with product and growth teams

Your voice matters here - even as a junior.

• Strong visual fundamentals (layout, typography, hierarchy)
• Mobile-first mindset
• Ability to design clean, bold, conversion-focused creative
• Attention to detail when working with dynamic data
• Structured thinker (you can explain why something should perform)

You do not need 5+ years of experience.
But you must be:

• Curious about performance marketing
• Interested in consumer psychology
• Excited by testing and iteration
• Comfortable learning analytics platforms
• Motivated by measurable outcomes

• Figma (required)

• Basic motion skills a plus
• Interest in AI creative tools a strong plus
