The Role:We're looking for an experienced Creative Strategist to own Mugsy's paid social creative funnel and build some awesome content that embodies the Mugsy brand. This is a high-impact, hands-on role that blends strategic thinking with execution.

What You'll Do:
- Own Mugsy's paid social creative funnel from idea to execution to optimization
- Turn performance data, testing insights, and trends into winning creative strategies
- Collaborate closely with editors and designers to produce scroll-stopping paid social assets
- Constantly test, iterate, and scale what works with real ownership over results
- Record content yourself and move fast on ideas without waiting for direction from others
- Support our Art Director on seasonal photoshoots and broader content creation
- Be a guardian of the Mugsy brand, ensuring consistency, voice, and quality across all social channels
- This role is equal parts creative, strategy, and hands-on, built for someone who wants influence, autonomy, and the chance to create work that actually moves the needle.

- Can speak basic in paid social language (CAC, CPA, CTR, etc.)
- Sharp eye for brand consistency and creative quality
- Based in or around NYC, with the ability to commute 1–3x per week

At Mugsy, you're not just joining a company, you're joining a tight-knit team that genuinely enjoys building together. We offer competitive pay, real ownership, and clear opportunities for career growth as the brand continues to scale. We care deeply about the work, but we care just as much about the people doing it, which is why we prioritize a healthy work-life balance and trust our team to do great work without burnout. Our culture is collaborative, hardworking, and supportive. The kind where wins are shared, ideas are welcomed, and teammates actually like showing up for one another. We move fast, set high standards, and have a lot of fun doing it together.
