Full Job Description
What You'll Do

1. The Concept Machine
  • Generate a high volume of data-backed creative concepts weekly. You don't pitch one "big idea"; you pitch 20 "testable angles."
  • Write scroll-stopping scripts and visual briefs for our production team. You know exactly how to structure a Direct Response video (Hook -> Problem -> Agitation -> Solution -> CTA).
  • Lead "Creative Sprints" where we iterate on a winning concept until we exhaust its scale.

2. Data Forensics
  • Deep dive into Meta/TikTok Ads Manager to diagnose creative health. You analyze Hold Rates, Hook Rates, and Outbound CTRs to understand exactly where a video is failing.
  • Translate data into "Editor Language." Instead of saying "engagement is low," you say "cut the intro by 2 seconds and speed up the voiceover."
  • Maintain the "Win Log." You document every winning variable (e.g., "Green text overlays are beating white text overlays by 15%") to build a playbook for the team.

3. Trend Speed & Adaptation
  • Monitor the digital landscape for emerging audio, visual, and behavioral trends.
  • Adapt these trends instantly for our clients. You don't wait for a trend to peak; you ride the wave while it's rising.
  • Mentor Junior Strategists on how to move from "copying trends" to "adapting trends for conversion."
How You'll Be Measured (KPIs)
  • Creative Success Rate: The % of your concepts that become "Winners" (beat the account average).
  • Output Velocity: The number of high-quality briefs/scripts generated per week.
  • Turnaround Time: Speed from "Data Insight" to "New Creative Brief."
  • Client Performance: Direct impact on lowering CPA and increasing ROAS for your assigned accounts.
Who You Are

1. A Battle-Tested Strategist
  • 5-7 years of experience in creative strategy, paid social, or performance marketing.
  • You have "seen it all" in the ad account. You know what to do when performance tanks on a Friday afternoon.

2. A Copywriting Chameleon
  • You can write in different voices. You can write a punchy, aggressive script for a men's grooming brand, and a soft, educational script for a skincare brand-in the same hour.
  • You understand that copy is what sells, and visuals are what stop the scroll.

3. Relentless & Curious
  • You don't have an ego about your ideas. If the data says your favorite video is a loser, you kill it and move on.
  • You are obsessed with "Why?" Why did that video work? Why did that hook fail? You don't stop until you have an answer.
Perks & Benefits
  • Competitive Compensation: $80,000-$100,000/year.
  • High-Impact Work: Your ideas directly control the spend of massive DTC brands.
  • Relentless Innovation: Work at the cutting edge of AI and Creative Performance.
  • Culture of Scale: Join a team that moves fast, tests constantly, and celebrates the wins.
