Full Job Description
About the Role

We are hiring an elite, results-obsessed Creative Strategist to own end-to-end creative strategy for fast-scaling direct-to-consumer (DTC) skincare and cosmetics brands. This is not a role for someone who has "seen some success"; we are looking for a top-of-the-game operator who lives and breathes performance creative, knows exactly what makes an ad win, and can prove it with results.

You will lead a team of editors, drive the full creative process from concept to execution, and be directly accountable for the performance of the creative you ship.

Requirements
What You'll Do
  • Own end-to-end creative strategy across multiple ad formats (talking-head/"yapper" ads, UGC, AI-generated, animated, cartoon, and emerging formats).
  • Script and conceptualize creative for different formats, and adapt winning hooks and scripts across formats to maximize output.
  • Lead and direct a team of editors to a "picture-perfect" standard, with relentless follow-up until the output is exactly right.
  • Study competitors and top brands across niches (including outside skincare/health) and translate winning concepts into our client's market.
  • Find winning avatars, angles, and positioning; write aggressive, high-converting direct-response copy.
  • Ensure full funnel congruency between ads and landing pages.
  • Read and act on ad account metrics and KPIs: identify winners and losers, iterate quickly, and double down on what's working.
  • Work fast, test aggressively, and continuously improve based on data.
What You'll Bring
  • Proven, verifiable track record as a Creative Strategist with prepared results and ads you can walk us through.
  • Deep command of direct-response copywriting and performance creative.
  • Strong understanding of funnels, offers, congruency, and attention-capture.
  • Fluency in reading ad account data, targets, and KPIs.
  • Experience working with ad accounts / startups where you had visibility into performance.
  • Leadership experience managing editors or creative teams.
  • Perfect written English and copywriting.
  • Strong understanding of Western culture, social media, and lingo; you know what resonates and how audiences talk.
    Non-Negotiables
    • Zero tolerance for sluggishness. You must be obsessive, proactive, and relentlessly follow up.
    • You ask questions, introduce new ideas, collaborate, and are never "backseat."
    • You're growth-oriented and here to win, not just a normal classic employee.

Benefits
  • Highly competitive compensation package.
  • Uncapped performance bonus tied to a percentage of ad spend when targets are met.
  • Flexible working hours to accommodate your schedule and maximize productivity.
  • Fully remote setup, allowing you to work from anywhere in the world.


All candidates must demonstrate a strong understanding of Western culture and communication.
