The job

We’re looking for a Creative Strategy Lead to drive creative performance across our paid UA channels on the app UA side of our Creative Studio (as opposed to the side of our studio that drives performance marketing for paid UA into our web funnels), with a primary focus on Meta .

This is a player–coach role : you’ll lead and develop a small team of channel-specific Creative Strategists, while personally owning creative strategy and performance on Meta.

You’ll sit at the intersection of performance marketing, creative strategy, and creative production : setting direction, raising the bar on analysis, concept and craft, and ensuring creatives consistently delivers measurable business impact.

This is not a people-management-only role. You will be deeply hands-on with strategy, insight generation, testing frameworks, agency and creative briefing, and performance optimisation.

What you’ll be responsible for

Creative strategy & performance ownership

• Owning Meta (app) creative strategy and performance end-to-end, from insight and concept through testing, iteration, and scale
• Translating performance data (CTR, CVR, ROAS, CAC, engagement) into clear creative insights and hypotheses
• Defining and evolving creative testing frameworks, formats, and learning agendas
• Ensuring creative output aligns with brand guardrails while maximising performance impact

Team leadership

• Leading, coaching, and developing a small team of channel-specific Creative Strategists
• Setting clear expectations for strategic thinking, analysis quality, and creative craft
• Reviewing work, raising standards, and ensuring consistency across channels
• Creating clarity on priorities, ownership, and ways of working with UA and creative production partners

Cross-functional partnership

• Partnering closely with Paid UA, Growth, Product, and Brand teams to align creative strategy with business goals
• Acting as the creative performance counterpart to UA leads — jointly owning results
• Writing and reviewing high-quality creative briefs for both internal teams and external partners
• Influencing roadmap and resourcing decisions through data-backed recommendations

Insight, learning & scale

• Identifying patterns, trends, and creative opportunities across platforms, audiences, and formats
• Ensuring learnings are clearly documented and shared (e.g. Confluence) to scale impact across the organisation
• Staying ahead of platform changes, cultural shifts, and emerging creative and AI tools

Your experience

Must-have

• 5+ years in performance marketing, creative strategy, or growth roles (e.g. Creative Strategist, Growth Lead, UA Manager)
• Proven experience owning creative performance at scale
• Demonstrated ability to lead and develop other strategists or marketers
• Strong analytical skills — confident turning data into insight, direction, and action
• Excellent communication and briefing skills, with the ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders
• Experience working with creative production teams (writers, designers, motion, video), without needing to be hands-on in tools
• Fluency in English and comfort crafting ideas for a global (especially US) audience
• Proficiency with Jira, Confluence, Google Workspace (or equivalent)
• High ownership mindset and obsession with outcomes

Nice-to-have

• Experience managing creative resources or prioritising across multiple channels
• Exposure to other paid social platforms (TikTok, YouTube, Snap, etc.)
• Familiarity with budget considerations and creative ROI optimisation
• Experience using or experimenting with AI-assisted creative workflows

What success looks like

• Sustained improvement in Meta creative performance (ROAS, CAC, CVR, CTR)
• Clear creative strategy and testing roadmap for Meta and other paid channels
• A high-performing, confident team of Creative Strategists delivering consistently strong work
• Faster learning cycles and clearer insight sharing across UA and Creative
• Tangible contribution to overall paid UA growth and efficiency
