Creative Strategist
dubai timezone preferred · full time exclusive · Listed 2 weeks ago
A senior creative strategist role at a fast-growing DTC e-commerce brand, working directly with the founders. You own concepts, briefs, testing and the editing team, with a consistent pipeline of new creative expected every week. Pay is $4,000–$7,000 per month plus a 3% performance-based upside.
This is a confidential search for a growing DTC e-commerce brand where performance creative is the main growth lever. You will not be managing from a distance: you write the angles, brief the ads, lead the editors, and are judged on how many of your concepts turn into winners.
What you will do
- Research customer pain points, desires and objections, then turn them into angles, hooks and personas.
- Write production-ready briefs and scripts for video, static and UGC ads.
- Analyse creative performance and translate it into the next round of tests.
- Lead the editing team: briefs, deadlines, quality control and feedback.
- Build the UGC pipeline, sourcing and briefing creators through Trybe and other channels.
- Use AI hands-on for research, scripting and production to raise output without losing quality.
Who you are
- You have personally developed creative behind at least $500,000 in cumulative ad spend.
- You have worked on DTC accounts spending at least $1,000,000 per month.
- You write direct-response copy and scripts that sell, not just scroll well.
- You have genuinely led editors or a creative production team.
- You know UGC workflows and use AI tools in real production, not in theory.
- Experience in wireless bras, shapewear, lingerie or women's apparel is a strong advantage.
What you get
- $4,000–$7,000 per month, plus a 3% performance-based upside.
- Direct access to the founders on priorities, results and what to test next.
- Full ownership of the creative function at a brand scaling toward nine figures.
- A hands-on strategic role with real leadership scope, not a pure management seat.
- Remote, with a preference for candidates working in the Dubai timezone.

- 2.Intro call to cover your track record and how you work.
- 3.Deep-dive interview with the founders on creative strategy and leadership.

Questions people ask
Why is the company not named?
This is a confidential search. You learn exactly what the business sells, how it grows and what the role owns; the name is shared once you are in process.
What proof do I need to send?
Winning ad examples you personally developed, screenshots or recordings showing spend and ROAS, briefs you wrote, and a clear account of your own contribution. Confidential details can be redacted.
Will a strong portfolio be enough?
No. Portfolios and titles alone are not evaluated. If you cannot substantiate the $500K creative spend and $1M monthly account spend, this role is not the right fit.
Do I have to be in Dubai?
No. The role is remote, with a preference for candidates who can work in the Dubai timezone.
If you have made ads that won and know why they won, this is your seat.
