Senior Creative Strategist for a EU Marketing Agency (Remote, EU/LATAM)
About Paired
Paired is a global staffing and recruiting agency that specializes in pairing remote work with top-tier talent!
We are dedicated to connecting talented individuals with remarkable companies in need of their skills. Our goal is to create fulfilling job opportunities for professionals around the world.
Our client
A fast-growing DTC brand redefining the hardware industry with premium, over-engineered products built for serious homeowners. In just over a year, we've grown revenue by approximately 8x, proving there's a huge opportunity to disrupt legacy brands through superior products and world-class marketing.
Their vision is simple: become the next DeWalt—the global benchmark for premium, well-engineered hardware that customers genuinely love using. We don't launch products unless we believe they're the best solution in their category.
As we continue scaling aggressively, we're rebuilding our in-house creative department around a POD structure and are looking for our first Senior Creative Strategist to lead one of those pods..
The Role
This isn't a "brief writer" role.
We're looking for a Senior Creative Strategist who owns the entire creative performance loop—from customer research and concept development to briefing, creative review, performance analysis, and iteration.
You'll lead your own creative POD, working alongside editors, designers, and a UGC Manager to consistently produce winning Meta ads that scale.
This role combines strategy, leadership, copywriting, creative direction, and performance marketing.
If you're obsessed with direct-response advertising, understand what makes people buy, and love turning data into better creative, you'll thrive here.
