Job Description

About the Role

  • We’re hiring a Senior Creative Strategist – Paid Social (Meta Ads) who takes a creative-first approach to performance marketing.
  • This is not a traditional media buying role focused only on dashboards and optimization.
  • Your primary edge should come from your ability to develop winning ad concepts, write strong creative briefs, and shape storytelling that drives conversions.
  • You will own Meta advertising across multiple accounts — from idea → creative → launch → scale — with full responsibility for performance outcomes.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Own and scale Facebook & Instagram ad campaigns from ideation to execution
  • Manage and optimize key metrics including CPL, CPA, and ROAS across multiple accounts
  • Handle $10K–$250K+ monthly ad spend budgets with performance accountability

Creative Strategy (Primary Focus)

  • Develop original ad angles, hooks, and messaging frameworks
  • Write clear, high-converting creative briefs for designers and video editors
  • Lead UGC direction, including scripting, storytelling, and video concepts
  • Contribute directly to ad concepting and campaign narratives
  • Continuously test new creative ideas and iterate based on performance

Performance & Optimization

  • Analyze performance daily and make data-driven decisions
  • Identify winning creatives and scale them effectively
  • Optimize campaigns across audiences, creatives, and offers

Creative + Data Feedback Loop

  • Use data to refine messaging, angles, and storytelling
  • Understand why creatives perform — not just what performs
  • Continuously improve performance through creative iteration

Collaboration & Ownership

  • Work closely with designers, editors, and internal teams
  • Align campaigns with broader revenue and growth goals
  • Operate with autonomy — owning outcomes, not just execution

Must-Have Requirements (Non-Negotiable)

  • 3+ years running Facebook/Instagram ads at a high level
  • Proven experience managing at least $10,000/month in ad spend (preferably significantly more)
  • Experience handling multiple accounts (5+) simultaneously
  • Strong hands-on involvement in creative strategy, including:
  • Ad concepting
  • Creative brief writing
  • Storytelling for paid ads
  • Ability to create ads that convert — not just launch campaigns
  • Strong command of:
  • Meta Ads Manager
  • Facebook Business Suite
  • Pixel tracking & conversion optimization
  • Strong copywriting skills — able to craft compelling hooks and messaging

 Important: Candidates who have only executed campaigns without contributing to creative strategy (concepts, messaging, briefs) will not be a fit for this role.

What Separates Top Candidates

  • Strong portfolio of winning ad creatives (UGC, static, video)
  • Clear ability to explain their role in creating high-performing ads
  • Deep understanding of creative → offer → conversion flow
  • Experience managing $50K–$250K+ monthly budgets
  • Hands-on experience with UGC workflows and video production
  • Use of AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT) to improve creative output

What Success Looks Like

  • Consistently hitting or improving CPL, CPA, and ROAS targets
  • Launching and scaling campaigns quickly without sacrificing quality
  • Bringing fresh creative angles and testing ideas proactively
  • Driving measurable growth across multiple accounts
