Maven Consumer is building its paid acquisition engine from the ground up, and great performance marketing is only as strong as the creative that fuels it.

The Creative Strategist serves as the connective tissue between data and production: the person who identifies what's converting, understands why, and translates those insights into briefs that move metrics.

This is a highly cross-functional role sitting at the intersection of performance marketing, brand, and content. You'll work closely with the Performance Marketing Manager and partner with Maven's brand team, creators, and external agencies to build a rigorous, always-on creative testing engine. As targeting advantages continue to erode and AI reshapes how creative is produced and distributed, this role becomes increasingly critical—differentiation now comes from strategy and message quality, not asset volume alone.

This is a remote role open to candidates based in the United States, with a strong preference for those in San Francisco.

• Own the creative strategy for paid acquisition, developing and maintaining a weekly and monthly brief cadence across Meta, TikTok, and other paid channels; treat brief quality as the highest-leverage part of the job
• Translate performance data into creative direction by analyzing what's working across hook rate, hold rate, CTR, and CVR, and turning those learnings into actionable briefs
• Own creative from brief through execution, working directly with designers, editors, and AI platforms to bring concepts to life
• Write platform-native UGC scripts and collaborate with creators, talent, and editors to ensure authenticity, narrative clarity, and optimized calls to action
• Use AI creative tools (video generation, copy iteration, image tools) to generate and test ad variants at speed, increasing creative velocity and expanding test coverage
• Develop a systematic approach to creative testing: hypotheses, angles, hooks, and structured experiments focused on acquisition efficiency and conversion
• Maintain consistent creative volume to support scaling paid budgets, owning the operational layer (asset library, naming conventions, agency handoffs) that enables speed and scale
• Build and maintain a competitive creative intelligence practice, staying current on what's working in the market, particularly in health and wellness
• Own UGC and influencer creative strategy, including frameworks for sourcing, briefing, scripting, and testing creator content as a performance channel
• Ensure all creative output meets healthcare advertising guidelines and platform policies

We're looking for you to bring:

• 4–6 years of experience in creative strategy, performance marketing, or growth, with meaningful time in consumer health, wellness, or DTC subscription businesses
• A hybrid creative and performance mindset: you understand what makes creative convert—not just what looks good—and can diagnose whether an issue is rooted in hook rate or hold rate
• Proven track record of writing briefs and UGC scripts that have moved metrics; strong POV on direct response formats, hooks, and what earns trust in a health context
• Hands-on experience with AI creative tools (video generation, copy iteration, synthetic testing), actively using them to move faster and expand testing capacity
• Fluency in key performance metrics (hook rate, hold rate, CTR, CVR, CPA, LTV:CAC) and experience using data to drive creative decisions
• Experience owning the full UGC pipeline: sourcing, scripting, briefing, and testing creator content at scale
• Comfortable owning both the strategic and operational sides of creative production; you build process where none exists and keep velocity high

The base salary range for this role is $145,000 - $170,000 per year. You will also be entitled to receive equity and benefits. Individual pay decisions are based on a number of factors, including qualifications for the role, experience level, and skillset.

This role requires active work authorization in the US.

At Maven we believe that a diverse set of backgrounds and experiences enrich our teams and allow us to achieve above and beyond our goals. If you do not have experience in all of the areas detailed above, we hope that you will share your unique background with us in your application and how it can be additive to our teams.
