Sr. Creative Strategist

HIGHSCALE • Carson, CA

2d • $80,000 - $100,000

About The Position

We’re High Scale—a future-focused, data-obsessed agency revolutionizing video advertising. Imagine Amazon’s customer obsession combined with SpaceX’s fearless innovation—that’s the DNA behind everything we do.
Our team is scaling fast, producing thousands of high-impact social videos every week for the world’s leading lifestyle, fashion, beauty, and DTC brands. With 50,000 sq. ft. of studio space in DTLA and a proprietary approach to AI-driven performance, we are ready to dominate 2026. We need a Sr. Creative Strategist who is tired of "brand awareness" and ready to drive "brand performance."
Why This Role Matters
You are the engine room of our agency. As a Sr. Creative Strategist, you aren't just spotting trends; you are weaponizing them. You sit right at the intersection of Art and Algorithm. You will look at a spreadsheet of ad performance in the morning, and by the afternoon, you will have scripted 10 new video variations to beat the control. You are the high-velocity problem solver who turns "we need better results" into "here is the winning hook."

Requirements

• 5–7 years of experience in creative strategy, paid social, or performance marketing.
• You have "seen it all" in the ad account. You know what to do when performance tanks on a Friday afternoon.
• You can write in different voices. You can write a punchy, aggressive script for a men's grooming brand, and a soft, educational script for a skincare brand—in the same hour.
• You understand that copy is what sells, and visuals are what stop the scroll.
• You don't have an ego about your ideas. If the data says your favorite video is a loser, you kill it and move on.
• You are obsessed with "Why?" Why did that video work? Why did that hook fail? You don't stop until you have an answer.

Responsibilities

• Generate a high volume of data-backed creative concepts weekly. You don't pitch one "big idea"; you pitch 20 "testable angles."
• Write scroll-stopping scripts and visual briefs for our production team. You know exactly how to structure a Direct Response video (Hook -> Problem -> Agitation -> Solution -> CTA).
• Lead "Creative Sprints" where we iterate on a winning concept until we exhaust its scale.
• Deep dive into Meta/TikTok Ads Manager to diagnose creative health. You analyze Hold Rates, Hook Rates, and Outbound CTRs to understand exactly where a video is failing.
• Translate data into "Editor Language." Instead of saying "engagement is low," you say "cut the intro by 2 seconds and speed up the voiceover."
• Maintain the "Win Log." You document every winning variable (e.g., "Green text overlays are beating white text overlays by 15%") to build a playbook for the team.
• Monitor the digital landscape for emerging audio, visual, and behavioral trends.
• Adapt these trends instantly for our clients. You don’t wait for a trend to peak; you ride the wave while it’s rising.
• Mentor Junior Strategists on how to move from "copying trends" to "adapting trends for conversion."

Benefits

• Competitive Compensation: $80,000-$100,000/year.
• High-Impact Work: Your ideas directly control the spend of massive DTC brands.
• Relentless Innovation: Work at the cutting edge of AI and Creative Performance.
• Culture of Scale: Join a team that moves fast, tests constantly, and celebrates the wins.
