Our client is a self-funded, performance-driven DTC pet brand. Self-funded means no outside capital, no VC timeline, and no one propping it up for a fund. They operate what they own, move quickly, and pay close attention to the things that make a brand work: the product, the creative, the funnel, the unit economics. The brand has strong traction across Amazon, TikTok Shop, and DTC with hundreds of thousands of customers across North America. Compensation$120,000 - $150,00 USD + bonus
The Role:
We're hiring a Creative Strategist to own a pod of AI video editors and turn briefs into ads that convert. You report to the Head of Performance Creative and you own your pod's output end to end: concept, script, hook, direction, iteration. The numbers side of this business is covered. What's not covered is the thing the numbers side is permanently starving for: a steady pipeline of test-ready paid creative shipped fast enough to stay ahead of fatigue on Meta and TikTok. Most of it will be AI-generated video. Your job is to make sure it converts. Why This Role Matters Creative volume is the growth ceiling. Growth can scale spend faster than the team can produce ads worth scaling. Every week without fresh concepts is CAC drifting the wrong way. This role feeds the machine.
