Who We Are

Tharp Ventures is a boutique growth agency that partners with health, wellness, and lifestyle brands. We work with companies that care about their customers, and we scale them using ethical persuasion, performance marketing, and conversion-driven creative.

Our clients range from direct-to-consumer supplement brands to high-end wellness retreats. We combine data and creativity to tell stories that not only convert, but also inspire.

The Role

We’re hiring a Creative Strategist to join our team for 25 hours per week. This is a part-time, remote role with high visibility inside the agency. The strategist will own the creative strategy process across multiple accounts — from client discovery to scripting ads, briefing creators, and analyzing performance.

This is not a “just check the box” kind of role. You’ll be deeply embedded in brands, helping unlock the insights that drive scalable creative and sustainable growth.

Responsibilities

• Develop creative strategies including scripts, hooks, angles, and storyboards for ads.
• Review and QA ad content — distinguish strong ads from weak ones with confidence.
• Collaborate with editors, designers and creators, giving detailed, constructive feedback.
• Stay ahead of TikTok, Meta, and DTC creative trends, proactively recommending new concepts.
• Attend weekly team syncs and be reachable during core hours (9–5 CDT).
• Work closely with the founder and strategist team to ensure creative strategy ties directly to performance metrics.

Requirements

Must-Have Qualifications

• Proven agency or client-facing experience in creative strategy, social content, or copywriting.
• Strong proficiency with ChatGPT and other AI tools — you’ll use them daily.
• Background in editing (CapCut and/or Adobe Premiere).
• Confident scripting and storyboarding skills.
• Active on TikTok, Instagram, and Meta platforms.
• Strong eye for what makes an ad perform — ability to call winners vs. duds without hand-holding.
• Organized and proactive, with the ability to manage multiple projects at once.
• Familiarity with Slack, ClickUp, Figma, Frame.io

Bonus Points

• Experience in health, wellness, or lifestyle DTC brands.
• Editing & design skills for quick creative iterations.
• CRO knowledge — understanding how ads tie into landing page and funnel performance.

Benefits

• ~$3,500/month salary for 25 hours/week (exact rate based on experience).
• $250 monthly wellness stipend to support your health.
• Flexible schedule with the ability to work from anywhere.
• Opportunity to grow with the agency and take on more clients over time (if your ads crush, happy to bring you in full-time).
• The chance to work with purpose-driven brands that actually help people live better lives.
