WHO ARE WE?
We’re a fast-growing consumer brand group selling across e-commerce, TikTok Shop, and Amazon. We prioritize direct-response strategy, product quality, and measurable efficacy. The team moves fast and operates with a high bar.
WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
We’re hiring a Creative Strategist with heavy direct response experience.
You’ll own both strategy and ops : building and briefing angles, scripting iterations, managing sprints, reviewing edits, and ensuring we ship 100–200 ads per week.
You must have lived and breathed direct response advertising and VSL-style creative—knowing the beats, pacing, proof, and psychology that drive conversions. This is a hands‑on IC role with pod‑level ownership (no formal people management).
Focus split:
- ~60% Strategy / Briefing
- ~40% Creative Ops / QA / Delivery

WHAT WILL YOU DO?
Direct Response Strategy / Briefing / Analysis
- Develop a creative strategy by offer, funnel, and awareness stage; publish weekly test plans.
- Generate net‑new DR angles from learnings, competitor swipes, and cultural trends.
- Outline 2–3 minute VSL‑style ads (problem, agitation, solution, proof, CTA) and collaborate with copy on scripting.
- Write iteration briefs (hook swaps, lead / body edits, CTA tests, packaging, captions) with clear hypotheses.
- Brief content creators with DR talking tracks, shot lists, compliance guardrails, and demo guidelines.
- Lead reviews to ensure DR structure, pacing, and storytelling are dialed in.
- Translate performance data (Hook, Hold, CTR, CPC, CPA, ROAS) into new test briefs within 1–3 days.
Creative Ops & Delivery
- Own weekly sprints: intake → brief → production → QA → launch → iteration.
- Plan and ship 100–200 ads weekly (mix of new and iterations).
- Traffic assets correctly: naming, specs (9 : 16 / 4 : 5 / 1 : 1), captions, UTMs.
- QA assets for typos, compliance, pacing, audio, and render quality.
- Review editor work with time‑stamped, DR‑specific notes (cut logic, proof beats, motion / graphics, sound).
- Maintain a clean, searchable DAM with version control.
- Coordinate with Media / Growth to ensure launches hit deadlines.
- Use light automation / AI for cut‑downs, resizing, and captions.
- Track throughput and ensure weekly volume targets are met without errors.
- Manage creator usage rights and content expirations.
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE (FIRST 90 DAYS)
- 100–200 DR ads shipped weekly.
- 98% QA pass rate.
- Iterations launched within 24–48 hours of insights, increasing win rate.
- Faster time‑to‑first‑winner and more winners per 50 launches.
- A standardized system for DR briefs (VSL, creator, iteration) used by the team.
- Clean DAM and clear creative pipeline visible to Growth / Media.
MUST‑HAVES
- 3+ years in direct response creative strategy, ideally in high‑spend environments ($1MM+ / mo).
- Deep experience with VSL‑style ads: structure, beats, proof, pacing, CTA flow.
- Proven ability to ship 100–200 ads weekly across VSLs, short‑form, and UGC.
- Strong post‑production literacy (Premiere / Final Cut / AE basics) for precise DR feedback.
- Track record of writing / briefing iterations and content creators for DR assets.
- Data‑driven mindset; you live in Hook / Hold / CTR / CPC / CPA / ROAS.
- Detail‑oriented; errors don’t slip past you.
- Clear communicator who pushes creative toward DR performance.
NICE‑TO‑HAVES
- Health, beauty, or OTC‑adjacent experience.
- Amazon and TikTok Shop creative systems.
- Familiarity with tools: ClickUp / Asana, Frame.io, Motion / Varos, Google Workspace, CapCut / Descript, Runway / Topaz / ElevenLabs.
