Job description

We’re hiring a Senior Creative Strategist to take ownership of paid social creative strategy for a fast-growing DTC jewelry brand selling across the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

The business is already operating at significant scale, with approximately €1M/month in Meta ad spend. Until now, the founders have been closely involved in creative strategy. This hire will take over that responsibility, improve the creative testing process, and help build a scalable internal creative function.

This is not a Media Buyer role. You’ll work closely with performance data and the founders, but your main responsibility will be understanding why creatives win and turning those insights into better concepts, messaging, scripts, and testing systems.

About the role

This is a high-impact position with substantial ownership. You’ll have access to meaningful ad spend, fast feedback loops, and direct communication with the founders.

The goal is not simply to produce more creatives, but to build a repeatable system that consistently finds and scales winning concepts while improving the speed and quality of creative production.

The role is fully remote within Europe and requires good overlap with CET working hours.
