Role Overview We're hiring a Creative Strategist to help build, lead and scale Aperture's performance creative engine. This is not a "make pretty ads" role. This role sits at the intersection of: Performance marketing, Social-native copywriting, User psychology, Creator-led production, AI-native research, Creative testing systems, Funnel and offer strategy, Platform-native growth. You will turn customer insight, platform data, creative trends and performance learnings into high-performing ad concepts that can be tested, iterated and scaled across Meta, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Reels, creator content, AI-generated workflows and emerging placements. You will work closely with the performance team, growth managers, product and funnel owners, creators and production teams, and clients.

Key Responsibilities Creative strategy Turn customer insight and performance data into clear, testable creative angles. Translate product positioning into social-native concepts across UGC, paid social and emerging formats. Write hooks, scripts and briefs that actually drive action, not just attention.

Copy and messaging Write sharp, platform-native copy. Use real customer language to create relevance, tension and belief. Push beyond surface-level personas into real motivations, objections and triggers.

Testing and performance Build and run structured creative tests with clear hypotheses. Work closely with performance to understand what's converting and why. Scale what works, kill what doesn't, document learnings.

Creative systems Ensure creative never bottlenecks growth. Build simple, repeatable systems for briefing, production and iteration. Maintain high creative velocity across accounts.

AI and workflows Use AI to speed up research, ideation and iteration. Test new tools and workflows continuously. Help the team move faster through structured AI usage.

Creators and scaling Work with creators and internal teams to turn strategy into high-performing content. Identify repeatable formats, creators and angles. Manage fatigue through structured iteration, not duplication.

Funnel alignment Work closely with growth leads to connect creative with landing pages, onboarding and pricing. Understand where performance problems actually sit across the funnel.

Requirements Experience working with creators, UGC, or content pipelines at scale. Proven experience in performance-led creative, paid social, or growth strategy. Actively using AI tools in your workflow across research, ideation or production. Comfort working directly with performance data and using it to inform creative decisions. Experience in apps, subscriptions, DTC or performance-driven environments is a strong plus. Strong track record of developing concepts that drove measurable results, not just engagement. Deep understanding of short-form, social-native content across TikTok, Meta, Reels and similar platforms.

Skills And Mindset No task is beneath you. You are fast, but structured. You have high attention to detail. You think in angles, not just formats. You are not precious about your ideas. You are curious about people, not just platforms. You are commercially minded and care about outcomes. You understand what makes someone stop, care and act. You use data to inform decisions, not justify them after the fact. You are comfortable operating in ambiguity and figuring things out.

This is not the role for you if You think AI is optional. You don't enjoy looking at data. You are attached to your own ideas. You need perfect briefs before you can start. You only care about brand and not performance. You are not using Instagram and TikTok on a daily basis. You rely on generic frameworks without understanding the user.

What Success Looks Like In 6 Months Clear, repeatable creative angles driving performance across accounts. Clients trust the thinking behind the creative, not just the output. Creative is no longer a bottleneck to scaling spend. Winning ideas are being extended, not burned out. AI is actively improving speed and output quality. Stronger hooks, better concepts, faster iteration.

Benefits Work from anywhere, with flexibility around how you structure your day. Direct exposure to high-growth clients and meaningful work. Regular team meetups and retreats, with travel covered. Access to conferences, events and industry sessions. Small team, high ownership, fast progression.
