Creative Performance Strategist

Polymarket•New York, NY

About The Position

Polymarket is the world's largest prediction market platform. We enable individuals to express views on real-world events by trading on outcomes across politics, economics, sports, culture, and current affairs. Built as a peer-to-peer marketplace with no centralized "house," Polymarket aggregates diverse opinions into transparent, market-based probabilities that reflect collective expectations about the future. We're growing fast – both in terms of volume ($21B traded in 2025) and adoption as an alternative news source. Our ambition is to become a ubiquitous beacon of truth in global media and we need your help adding fuel to the fire. We're looking for a Creative Performance Strategist to join our growth team. This is an early-career role for someone who thinks in hooks, lives on the internet, and understands why some ads stop the scroll and others don't.

Requirements

1–3 years of experience in performance creative, ideally at a fast-growing brand or a performance-focused agency
A portfolio that shows real direct response work — not just pretty ads, but ads built to convert
Strong copywriting instincts with the ability to write for different platforms, formats, and audiences without losing the thread
Visual fluency — you don't need to be a designer, but you know what good looks like and can art direct toward it
Genuine cultural range — you follow sports, news, and finance with the same curiosity you bring to memes and trends
Comfort working fast in a collaborative environment where feedback is frequent and iteration is the job

Nice To Haves

Agency background, especially at a shop known for performance creative
Experience advertising financial products, trading platforms, or anything that required making a complex product feel immediately compelling
Familiarity with platform-native formats across Social and Programmatic platforms

Responsibilities

Concept and develop direct response creative across every major paid channel — Meta, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, Google, CTV, and more
Write sharp, conversion-focused copy for static and motion ad formats, tailoring voice and tone to platform, audience, and moment
Collaborate daily with designers, motion editors, and the performance buying team to bring concepts from brief to finished asset
Contribute ideas to the creative testing roadmap, partnering with buyers to understand what's working and why, and feeding that back into the next round of concepts
Stay plugged into culture — sports, news, finance, politics — and translate what's happening in the world into timely, relevant creative that performs
Develop a strong intuition for Polymarket's audience and what moves them, building a personal library of angles, formats, and hooks that convert
