Be Doing:

We're looking for a Sr. Creative Strategist to own creative strategy and experimentation across our growth marketing channels. This is a high-impact, cross-functional role that sits at the intersection of performance data, creative direction, and conversion strategy. Our paid search and paid social channels are growing, and we have a talented creative team ready to execute — what we're missing is the strategic layer in between: someone who can look at what the data is telling us, turn it into sharp creative briefs and hypotheses, and build a testing infrastructure that makes us smarter over time. You'll also bring a CRO lens to how we think about the landing page experience — not building or editing pages, but ensuring our strategy from ad impression to conversion is intentional and informed by where traffic is coming from. This is a partner role. You'll work closely with our paid channel leads and creative team to elevate the quality and effectiveness of everything we put in market.
