You built and ran an agency. You know what it's like to win a pitch at 11pm, rescue a creative review gone sideways, and squeeze margin out of a production pipeline that always wants to blow up. Now imagine running that playbook with an AI production engine behind you - one that turns 2-4 week turnarounds into days and $3K videos into a fraction of that. That's Creatify Studio: human-led strategy, AI-powered production, done-for-you video ads at scale. We're hiring a former agency owner or senior agency operator to help us build it into the agency model that replaces the old one. **What you'll do** - Own the Studio client experience end to end - from pitch and onboarding through strategy, creative direction, delivery, and renewal - Bring real agency judgment to every ad: brief quality, hook selection, creative testing strategy, and the taste that separates ads that convert from ads that just exist - Design and refine the Studio operating model - pricing, packaging, SLAs, margin, and the workflows that let a small team deliver at agency scale - Work directly with product and engineering to shape the Creatify platform around what real client work demands; you are the voice of the practitioner inside the building - Hire and lead creative strategists and producers as Studio grows - Turn your agency scar tissue into repeatable playbooks: winning pitches, managing scope, handling difficult feedback, keeping retention high **What we're looking for** - You founded, co-founded, or ran P&L for a creative, performance marketing, or social media agency - ideally one focused on paid social video (Meta, TikTok, YouTube) - You've personally owned client relationships: sold the work, defended the work, and kept clients for years - Deep fluency in performance creative - hooks, UGC formats, iteration velocity, creative testing, and reading ad account data well enough to know what to make next - Operator's mindset: you've built processes, managed margins, and know where agency delivery breaks down - Genuine excitement about AI-generated video - not as a threat to the agency model, but as the thing that finally fixes its economics - Comfortable in a fast-moving startup where the playbook is being written as you run it **Nice to have** - You've sold or wound down an agency and are looking for your next chapter with leverage - Experience with e-commerce, DTC, or app-install advertisers - You've already experimented with AI creative tools in client work **Why this role** - **Leverage you've never had.** Every instinct you built over years of agency work, multiplied by a production engine that ships in hours instead of weeks - **Real ownership.** Studio is a core bet for Creatify - you'll shape the offering, the team, and the P&L, not inherit someone else's org chart - **The right side of the shift.** Creative is now the targeting. The brands winning are the ones producing the most, and Studio is built for exactly that world - Competitive salary + meaningful equity, health benefits, and the budget to build the team you need
