The ideal candidate has their finger on the pulse of paid social trends and best practices.

• Review all creative assets (copy and design) for message clarity, strategic alignment, and adherence to direct response best practices
• Provide clear, actionable feedback to the creative team to ensure assets are optimized for performance on each platform
• Collaborate closely with media buying and growth teams to analyze ad performance data and identify opportunities for creative testing and iteration
• Be detail-oriented and capable of meeting tight deadlines in a fast-paced environment

Qualifications and Skills: 

• 5-10 years of experience as a Paid Social Creative Strategist or in a similar performance creative role, with a strong focus on direct-to-consumer (DTC) brands
• Proven experience working for brands with non-physical products, such as in the fintech space
• Deep knowledge of direct response (DR) best practices and a track record of creating high-performing ad creative
• A strong portfolio demonstrating a strategic approach to paid social advertising and a keen understanding of what drives conversions
