Ejam is seeking a Senior Creative Strategist to lead performance-driven creative for BugMD, one of our fastest-scaling brands. This role is ideal for a strategist who lives at the intersection of creative storytelling, paid media performance, and rapid experimentation.

You’ll own the strategic direction behind our video and static ad creative—from concept development to performance optimization—working closely with video editors, graphic designers, a project manager, and freelance copywriters to produce high-volume, high-impact creative that drives growth.

This is a senior, hands‑on role with real ownership: your ideas will ship fast, get tested in-market, and be judged by performance.
