Long-Term Content Development: Develop sustainable creative concepts and explore new formats, testimonials, creator content, and community insights to support continued growth beyond individual assets or campaigns.

Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with content, performance marketing, and the wider marketing team to align creative decisions with business objectives and deliver consistent results.

You are an experienced creative strategist and leader who combines strong creative judgment with a data-driven approach to performance marketing. You can guide creative teams, make confident approval decisions, and turn insights into scalable content strategies. The ideal candidate will bring:

Strong organizational and prioritization skills, with the ability to balance strategic planning and practical execution.

Nice to have:
