As Senior Creative Strategist , you will shape how our brand shows up across paid social, YouTube, creator partnerships, and organic channels.

Your focus will be turning our brand strategy into clear, practical creative direction that works in-market. This means defining how the brand comes to life across ads, creators, and content formats in a way that is consistent, distinctive, and effective.

You will work closely with creators, agencies, and internal teams to bring that direction to life through high-quality short-form video and social creative. In partnership with the paid social team, you will help define the creative testing roadmap, using campaign insights and performance learnings to understand what resonates and continuously improve creative effectiveness over time.

Paid social and online video are key channels for rapid learning and iteration. You will use those learnings to strengthen how we show up across channels and help evolve how the brand is expressed going forward.

What You’ll Do

• Turn the brand platform into clear creative direction for social and creator content
• Own the creative testing roadmap: define hypotheses, test, learn, and scale what works
• Partner with the paid social team to align creative strategy with campaign performance
• Brief and manage creators and internal teams to deliver high-quality short-form video content
• Build and manage a small roster of creators who represent the brand authentically
• Use insights and performance data to improve creative output and messaging
• Ensure consistency across paid and organic social channels

• Hands-on experience using AI tools for creative production or iteration
• Fluent English and German skills at minimum C1 level
