About The Position

Malwarebytes is looking for a Creative Strategist, Consumer Growth Marketing, to help shape and scale the next generation of performance-driven advertising. From concept through execution, you will own the creative strategy and operational backbone for Paid Media and ASO. You can transform data into actionable insights, lead creative brainstorms, and immediately know which ideas are worth betting on. The work you create doesn't just look good; it converts. All while pushing boundaries to bridge storytelling, strategy, and innovation across every format. If you thrive at the intersection of instinct and evidence, and you know how to move fast without cutting corners — read on. In addition to attaching your resume, please include a portfolio or case studies of your work in order to be considered for this role.

Requirements

2 - 3+ years running creative strategy and performance optimization/testing at scale - ideally for a mid-to-large consumer brand or agency
Hands-on experience with paid channels (Meta, Google UAC/App Campaigns, Apple Search Ads, or similar) and a real understanding of how creative drives performance within each
Familiarity with ASO and how experimentation works in that environment (store screenshots, feature graphics, preview video, etc.)
Creative and analytical in equal measure. You can identify what works and why, then scale it
A communicator who can align external partners, cross-functional teams, and senior stakeholders without losing momentum
Highly organized to run multiple workstreams at once, scrappy enough to move when the situation calls for it
Comfortable using AI to speed up workflows (Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft CoPilot)
Someone who genuinely loves this craft. You've got big ideas and that energy spills through Slack and Zoom meetings.

Nice To Haves

Experience in consumer cybersecurity, privacy, or adjacent tech categories
Background working with performance creative studios or freelance networks at scale
Strong presentation skills and ability to sell creative ideas internally
Familiarity with tools like AppsFlyer, Adjust, Looker, Google Analytics, or similar measurement/analytics platforms

Responsibilities

Lead creative development across static, dynamic, video, and emerging formats for performance marketing and brand awareness campaigns
Develop a deep understanding of our product, our audience, and what makes a piece of creative land, not just look good
Partner closely with internal teams (Brand, Creative, Product, etc.) and external agencies/vendors to brief, review, and iterate on assets. You hold the bar high at every stage
Leverage AI tools to accelerate workflows — research, ideation, scripting, competitive analysis, data dashboards - while ensuring final output is crafted by real people.
Be the creative thought partner people actually want in the room: opinionated, collaborative, and grounded in what the data says.
Monitor creative performance, analyze results, and iterate quickly to optimize creative direction
Build and maintain a testing calendar and creative playbook that scales. Ensure the team doesn't reinvent the wheel every month
Own a reporting framework that clearly surfaces the good, bad, and what to do next
Work with our ASO team to evaluate new creative, review store content, and build a steady pipeline of experiments across app store placements
Partner with our Social and Content teams to cross-pollinate ideas. You'll test what works organically in paid, and vice versa
Stay sharp on platform trends, algorithm shifts, and competitor activity so we're never lagging behind the industry
