The Mission
We are looking for a Lead Creative Strategist to act as the "strategic translator" between our Media Buyers and our creative execution team.

Reporting directly to the Director of Marketing, you will lead the creative vision and oversee a team of junior strategists to drive repeatable wins for our DTC partners.

- Performance Analysis: Lead creative reporting and data-based testing. Identify winning hooks and iterate on assets with surgical precision.
- Asset Management: Oversee creative trackers and organization, ensuring the creative pipeline is documented and fulfilled according to company SOPs.
- Collaboration: Work side-by-side with Media Buyers and the Director of Marketing to align creative output with quarterly CPA and ROAS targets.
- AI Utilization: Leverage AI tools to accelerate ideation and analysis while maintaining high strategic judgment and creative quality.
Requirements
- Experience: 2–5+ years in creative strategy, performance marketing, or content strategy, preferably within a fast-growth agency or DTC environment.
- Technical Literacy: Deep understanding of performance marketing concepts (funnels, angles, hooks, testing frameworks). Ability to translate data into creative briefs.
- Tools: Mastery of project management tools (Monday.com), Google Workspace, and AI tools for productivity.
- Location & Logistics: Fully remote
- Mandatory Alignment with Eastern Time (EST) working hours.
- Experience working in Telehealth is a plus
- Must have a high-energy and competitor mindset.
Benefits
- Total Potential Earnings: Up to $110,000 per year.
- Base Salary: $77,000 USD.
- Bonuses: Up to $33,000 based on performance team quarterly targets.
- Paid Time Off: ~20 days per year (10 days PTO + US Holidays + the week between Christmas and New Year’s).
- Professional Growth: Opportunity to lead a department in a scaling agency.
Hiring Process
Our selection process is rigorous and designed for top-tier talent:
- Culture Index (CI) Assessment
- Recruiter Screening
- Hiring Manager Interview
- Test Project
- Final Review: Presentation of the test project and final alignment.
Note: A 90-day probationary period applies to all new roles to ensure a mutual fit.
