About the role

  • You will serve as both a client-facing strategic partner and an internal champion of creative testing to help global brands unlock growth.
  • This role requires comfort operating with both creative stakeholders and growth-focused stakeholders.

Responsibilities

  • Develop creative briefs and campaign strategies that address audience barriers, unlock opportunities for new audiences, and drive measurable performance.
  • Analyze why creative concepts succeed or underperform, and propose testing strategies or iterations rooted in data and audience insight.
  • Serve as a primary point of contact for clients, fluent in both creative and performance conversations.
  • Build strong, trusted client relationships by consistently delivering excellence through strategic solutions.
  • Write creative and media briefs that translate product, brand, and audience insights into high-performing concepts.
  • Lead creative testing roadmaps across global accounts, connecting messaging strategy directly to optimization goals.
  • Partner with media teams to connect testing results back to key performance metrics (CTR, CPA, conversions).
  • Manage end-to-end creative workflows, from briefing and production to iteration and optimization.
  • Conduct market research and trend analysis with internal and external research teams to inform creative direction.
  • Analyze creative performance data and distill it into simple, actionable insights for clients and internal teams.

Requirements

  • 3+ years of experience in creative strategy, comms/content strategy, media buying, or performance marketing
  • Deep knowledge of performance creative across paid media channels such as Google UAC, TikTok, Snapchat, and YouTube
  • Strong understanding of creative testing methodologies and how to optimize down-funnel KPIs
  • Exceptional client-facing communication skills with the ability to simplify complexity and present recommendations
  • Ability to thrive in fast-paced environments, manage multiple priorities, and own results end-to-end
  • Strong organizational skills and meticulous attention to detail

Preferred qualifications

  • A track record of shaping high-performing creative strategies for global clients
  • Passion for performance creative and experimentation, with a bias toward action and improvement
  • Confidence in challenging the status quo with new ideas backed by data and insight
  • A natural problem solver who cares deeply about team success and client growth
