(Hands-On DTC Performance Creative)

Reports to: Creative Director

Location: Austin, TX preferred | Orange County, CA second | Remote considered

Status: Full-time, Hybrid

Compensation: $75,000-$100,000

We’re looking for a hands-on Creative Ad Strategist to join an ambitious, fast-moving growth agency with SoCal roots and a newly-established office in Austin, TX. As the right hand to our Creative Director, you assist in both creative direction and execution across high-performing paid social.

The ideal candidate is a one-person creative engine capable of concepting, designing, editing, and iterating high-converting, high-volume ads.

This is not a pure strategist role.

This is not just execution.

This is a hybrid role for someone who can

crack the concept, and in some cases, build it

- translating performance insights into high-converting ad creative without hand-holding.

What You’ll Do

Scale brands to 7+ figures/month in ad spend with an initial focus on telehealth and next-gen wellness brands

Develop angles, hooks, and creative concepts rooted in performance data

Personally execute on creative (video, UGC, static, carousel) when needed

Build out concepts into fully formed ad variations ready for testing

Partner with media buyers, BI, and creative teams to iterate quickly

Maintain alignment with overall brand guidelines and creative direction

You’ve Likely

Operated in accounts spending $500K–$1M+/month

Taken ideas from concept → execution → performance iteration

Built creative that directly impacted ROAS, CPA, CTR, CVR

Have strong design + video instincts (you know what converts and why)

Thrived in fast-paced, high-volume testing environments

What We’re Looking For

A builder + thinker - equally comfortable concepting and executing

A strong creative portfolio - we’ll want to see your works and growth metrics

Someone who doesn’t need hand-holding to bring ideas to life

Strong creative instincts with a clear understanding of performance data

Collaborative and low-ego - able to operate as a true right hand partner

Detail-oriented, fast-moving, and highly iterative

This is a creative strategist role for someone who understands how design choices drive performance - and can partner tightly with media buyers and creative teams to scale what works.
