Head of Creative Strategy (Growth)

About Abode Money Abode Money is the first‑ever AI financial home manager, using AI to save homeowners on property taxes, insurance, mortgage and more. Homeowners spend $2T+ per year on their home. Not only is it difficult to buy a home today, but it’s become just as challenging to continue owning your home. We’re going to be the first to create a relationship with 80M+ homeowners in the US by saving them money year after year. We’ve raised $23M from Permanent Capital, Drive Capital, Sequoia, Core VC and The 81 Collection. The Role We're hiring a Head of Creative Strategy to own creative at Abode Money and build the engine that produces it at volume. You’ll own the creative that drives our paid channels, concepts, production, testing, and learnings, and you’ll lead our organic creative alongside it. As we grow, you’ll shape the brand and extend it into experiential, out of home, and direct mail. You're the first creative here, so you build it from the ground up. You’re a creative who thinks in performance. Your job is to capture the attention of homeowners who are overpaying and get them to act. A hook gets attention, but the body and the offer are what convert, and you build for the people most likely to buy. You’ll be embedded in a growth team that’s already running, with paid, lifecycle, and analytics partners around you. Creative is yours. You source and brief creators, build the workflow, run the tests, read the results, and turn what works into a repeatable system. You should be AI‑native in practice. You use it to make more creative, test more, and get from idea to live faster than a traditional team could. AI makes output cheap. Taste is the part that still has to be yours. This is a chance to build a category‑defining brand for homeowners, one they actually trust. You'll own creative here and build the system that produces it.

Bonus if you've owned creative against paid metrics like CAC or ROAS Based in Austin and able to work onsite 4 days a week Bonus: hands‑on experience running creator‑led content as a channel, or creative for paid on Meta or TikTok Our Core Values Take ownership. This is yours. We build everything through single‑threaded autonomy. One person owns the outcome, makes the calls, and sees it through. We believe in “asking for forgiveness, not permission” so you can make unencumbered decisions. Move fast. Decide. Ship. Learn. Repeat. Speed is our edge. Perfection is the enemy of momentum. We will forever move faster than our competition. Be resourceful. Find ways to do more with less. Constraints don’t slow us down. They make us inventive. There’s always a way through, and the people who own their work find it. “That’s not my job” isn’t a sentence anyone here finishes. Think big and challenge convention. Dare to do things differently. You don’t change the world with incrementally better solutions. The systems we’re fixing are broken because everyone accepted them. We question the default, build the better answer, and refuse to blend in. Measure everything. Data is the tiebreaker. We turn instincts into evidence, hunches into experiments, and opinions into numbers. If we can measure it, we can beat it.
