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

Your job is to make sure creative is never the ceiling on 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, to understand what is actually converting
• Growth managers, to align creative strategy with commercial priorities
• Product and funnel owners, to connect ads with onboarding, pricing and conversion
• Creators and production teams, to turn concepts into assets
• Clients, to explain the thinking behind creative strategy and testing

The best person for this role is commercially sharp, socially fluent, deeply curious about people, and excited by how AI is changing the creative process.

Why this role matters

Creative is now one of the biggest levers in paid acquisition.

As targeting becomes more automated, platform signals become more complex, and competition increases, growth teams need stronger creative systems. Meta’s newer delivery systems rely heavily on creative signals, variation and structured testing, meaning creative volume and diversity are becoming central to performance.

At the same time, generative AI is changing how creative teams research, concept, produce and iterate. Leading marketing teams are using AI to speed up production, personalise messaging, analyse customer feedback and scale creative experimentation.

This role exists to keep Aperture ahead of that shift.

You’ll help us build creative systems that are faster, sharper, more human, more automated and more commercially effective.
