Job Title

The Role Linktree is used by 70 million people from Sabrina Carpenter to the NFL to the person running a Pilates studio in Bondi. Were one of the top 300 most visited websites on the planet, with 1.2 billion unique visitors hitting Linktrees every month. Every one of those users found us somewhere, and increasingly, that somewhere is a paid ad youll be responsible for. Were hiring a Performance Creative Strategist to own one of the biggest levers in our growth engine: the creative that drives paid acquisition across Meta, TikTok, and YouTube. To be clear about what this is and isnt: This is not a brand campaign role. Its not a content calendar role. And you wont be executing prewritten briefs. This is creative strategy in service of growth where you lead with data, audience insight, and sharp creative judgement to decide what we make, why we make it, and how we know its working. Youll build structured testing roadmaps, write hooks and scripts, direct creators and agencies, and iterate fast to find the ads that scale. Youll work shouldertoshoulder with our Performance Marketing Specialists, where creative strategy and media buying are tightly integrated. As Linktree scales paid investment globally, your work will directly determine how efficiently every dollar performs. What Youll Own Creative strategy & testing: Develop performanceled creative briefs and structured testing roadmaps. Translate campaign data, audience behaviour, and platform trends into scalable concepts, then identify the winning hooks, angles, and formats worth scaling systematically. Scripting & production: Ideate and write highconverting directresponse scripts and hooks for shortform video, UGC, statics, and carousels. Direct creators, editors, and designers to bring the vision to life with strategic precision. Sprint ownership: Run the full cycle (hypothesis, brief, produce, launch, analyse, iterate) maintaining a predictable cadence of testable, highquality assets across Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and Google. Agency & partner management: Brief, manage, and hold accountable our creative agency and measurement partners. Set the bar, run feedback cycles, and make sure external output compounds our internal learnings rather than duplicating them. Performance & optimisation: Spot early performance signals, including hook winners, fatigue trends, and scaling opportunities. Use metrics (CTR, thumbstop rate, hold rate, CVR, CAC) to make fast decisions and pivot when needed. Creator & UGC management: Own creator and UGC workflows endtoend: coordination, briefs, asset intake, revisions, and approvals, for both internal partners and external creators. Creative insights library: Build and maintain a growing library of creative learnings and frameworks that makes the whole Growth organisation smarter over time. Crossfunctional collaboration: Partner daytoday with Performance Marketing Specialists, and regularly with CRO, Brand, Design, and Content to ensure creative strategy stays aligned with channel best practice and Linktrees identity, while always pushing for performance. What Youll Bring 46+ years in performance creative, paid social strategy, or growth marketing, with a portfolio of winning ads that shows clear creative contribution and measurable outcomes. A strong portfolio matters more to us than where youve worked. A copywriter at your core: you know how to sell, which angles convert, how to shift audience beliefs, and how to calibrate messaging across sophistication levels, from problemunaware to readytobuy. Deep fluency in how Meta, TikTok, and YouTube algorithms behave, and how creative influences delivery, targeting, and inplatform performance. Proven experience scripting and producing highconverting directresponse video ads, including handson work with UGC, shortform video, and creatorled content. Strong testing instincts: you design experiments with clear hypotheses, read performance data to separate signal from noise, and turn insights into frameworks rather than oneoff tweaks. Experienced in briefing and managing creative agencies, UGC creators, and measurement partners to a high standard with clear accountability. Comfortable using AI tools to move faster, generate variation, and extend your creative output without losing quality or judgment. A builder and a selfstarter: you design the systems and processes that make the team smarter, not just the assets that feed this weeks campaigns. Able to prioritise ruthlessly, push back on lowleverage work, and operate autonomously in a fastmoving environment. Nice to have Experience in SaaS, the creator economy, or multimarket acquisition campaigns. Knowledge of YouTube shortform and Google PMax creative formats. Experience localising creative for global markets. Comfortable filming and editing your own lowfi content (CapCut, iPhone, etc.) when speed matters. Why this role, why now Global scale, real budgets. Youll be working with a significant and growing paid media investment across Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and Google, with the mandate to scale further. The creative decisions you make will directly determine how efficiently that budget performs. A team already in motion. Youre not walking into a broken system. Our Growth team is already driving strong results and youre here to add fuel to the fire, not fix the engine. Youll hit the ground with talented performance specialists, agencies, designers, and strong crossfunctional partners already aligned and moving. Interesting subject matter, clean economics. Linktree sits at the intersection of the creator economy and SaaS, which means your ads have genuine creative freedom (were marketing to creators, after all), while the growth economics are clean and measurable. Youll always know if your creative is working. High autonomy, high visibility. This role operates at the strategic core of Growth Marketing, with direct visibility to senior leadership. Your work will shape how tens of millions of people first encounter Linktree. P.S. If you dont tick every box in this listing, please dont rule yourself out.
