Junior Creative Strategist

Lume Deodorant • New York, NY

About The Position

We’re looking for a hungry, creative Junior Creative Strategist to work as a close partner to our Creative Director. This role exists to multiply great creative thinking: sitting in the room for brainstorms, reading the performance data, and translating greenlit concepts into tight briefs that editors and production can run with. You’re here to make sure the best ideas get made faster and better.

Requirements

• 1–3 years of experience in creative strategy, performance creative, brand or growth marketing, or a related discipline.
• Fluency in Meta Ads Manager or similar performance platforms. You can read the data and draw clear conclusions from it.
• Exposure to direct-response or performance advertising. You understand what makes an ad convert, not just look good.
• Familiarity with AI creative tools (Nanobanana, Gemini, or similar). You don’t need to have used all of them, but you should be the kind of person who will try them.
• Genuinely creative, with taste, opinions, and ideas you can defend. You think in hooks, territories, and angles, not just executions.
• Obsessed with the customer. You think about who you're talking to before you think about what you want to say.
• A "whatever it takes" operator who doesn't wait to be told what to do and finds a way to get things done.
• Fast. You move quickly without sacrificing quality, and you know the difference.
• Energized by AI and new tools. You're not intimidated by new platforms, you're excited to figure them out.
• Comfortable with ambiguity. You can start from a rough idea, a data pattern, or a half-formed brief and run with it.
• A clear, clean communicator. Your briefs are easy to read, your ClickUp tickets are airtight, and your handoffs don’t require follow-ups.

Nice To Haves

• Basic editing literacy (CapCut, Premiere, or similar) is a plus. You won’t be cutting ads day-to-day, but being able to mock up a rough cut can help unblock a concept.

Responsibilities

• Be an active contributor in concepting and brainstorming sessions. Bring original hooks, angles, and ideas to the table and pressure-test them.
• Turn greenlit concepts into tight, detailed briefs in ClickUp. Spec out exactly what’s needed (footage, VO, graphics, references, format, length) so editors and production can move forward without needing to loop back.
• Spend real time in Meta Ads Manager and our creative analytics tools. Surface what’s winning, what’s fading, and bring a weekly point of view to the Creative Team on what the data is telling us to make next.
• Study competitor creative, read customer reviews and comments, and spend time in the communities we’re trying to reach. Every brief should start from a genuine customer insight, not just a creative instinct.
• Pick up new tools quickly, whether that’s AI creative platforms, performance analytics, or scripting tools, and build light workflows that speed up concepting and briefing.
• Develop messaging territories alongside the Creative Team, holding the strategic thread across a campaign and reasoning about where it should go next.
• Partner on AI tool piloting. Be the power user who has already tried the new platform before anyone asked and help the team adopt what’s worth keeping.
