About the role We are seeking Performance Creative Strategist for conceptualizing, producing, and iterating on performance-driven creative across our paid media channels. This role sits at the intersection of creative production and performance marketing and is ideal for someone who loves producing creative content, testing ideas quickly, and learning directly from results. As a hands-on individual contributor, you will personally create static and video assets, write ad copy, and turn performance insights into new creative iterations that drive direct bookings. While you’ll collaborate closely with Paid Media, Brand, and Design partners, this role is not a people manager — it’s for a doer who thrives in the details and enjoys owning output end to end.
