Job description

A fast-growing performance marketing agency is looking for a Creative Strategist who can turn insights into ad concepts that actually convert. You’ll lead creative testing and direction across multiple eCommerce accounts, helping brands scale through sharp strategy, structured experimentation, and content that performs as good as it looks.

This is a fully remote, full-time position for candidates located in the U.S. or Canada, ideal for someone who loves blending creative instincts with performance thinking. You’ll work closely with creators, editors, designers, and account managers to develop, test, and scale winning ads across Meta, TikTok, and other paid social channels.

If you’re the kind of person who loves digging into performance, spotting patterns, and translating them into clear creative direction - this role is for you.

What You’ll Do

You’ll own the full creative strategy loop: hypothesis → test → learn → scale.

Lead creative strategy and testing for 3–5 eCommerce brands across Meta, TikTok, and other paid social platforms

Develop data-backed creative hypotheses, plan structured tests, and iterate quickly to scale winners

Write clear, actionable creative briefs for creators, editors, and designers—providing precise direction from hook to CTA

Review ad performance and creative metrics to identify winning angles, patterns, and next-round opportunities

Partner with Account Managers to connect creative insights to campaign KPIs and client reporting

Maintain a high creative bar while ensuring consistent weekly output

Keep production moving fast without sacrificing clarity or quality

What We’re Looking For

You’re a creative thinker who can also speak fluent performance.

1–3 years of experience developing, optimizing, or directing paid social creative (ideally in eCommerce)

Proven track record of creative that drives measurable results (CTR, CVR, CPA, ROAS, etc.)

A strong portfolio of paid social creatives, especially UGC-style ads for platforms like TikTok and Meta

Strong grasp of paid social creative fundamentals: copy, hooks, framing, pacing, structure, and storytelling

Comfortable working with UGC creators, editors, and designers—and giving clear feedback

Analytical mindset: you can turn performance data into specific creative next steps

Excellent communication, organization, and time-management skills

Not required, but nice to have.

Experience running or supporting creative testing frameworks

Background in agencies or multi-brand environments

Familiarity with eCommerce customer psychology and funnel thinking

Comfort presenting creative learnings to internal or client-facing teams

Points What You’ll Get

Competitive compensation based on experience

100% remote team + async-friendly workflow

Direct impact on the growth of exciting eCommerce brands

$500 quarterly education stipend for courses, workshops, or coaching

High ownership, fast growth, and a team that values smart experiments and clear communication

Why This Role Might Be a Fit

You love creative that performs—not just creative that looks cool
You’re naturally curious about why certain ads win
You move fast, test smarter, and learn on loop
You enjoy collaborating with creators and giving clear creative direction
You want to grow in a role where your thinking directly drives results

Send your resume + portfolio with your best paid social creatives (UGC-style ads strongly encouraged!), along with a couple of notes on the results you drove.
