Creative Strategist

About Atria Atria is a creative intelligence platform that has analyzed over $5B in ad spend data to decode what makes creative work actually perform. We work with brands like Perplexity, True Classic, Loop Earplugs, and Paramount — helping them make smarter creative decisions powered by proprietary AI and deep pattern recognition. We're a profitable, 20-person team building at the frontier of where AI meets creative strategy, and we believe the entire discipline is about to be reinvented. The Role We're looking for a Creative Strategist who can operate at the intersection of three things most people treat as separate jobs: world-class creative strategy for enterprise brands, hands-on customer success that makes clients feel like you're an extension of their team, and genuine fluency in how AI is reshaping how creative gets made, tested, and scaled. This isn't a "make a few decks and hand them off" role. You'll be the strategic brain our biggest clients rely on — translating Atria's data and intelligence into creative direction that moves the needle, while also helping us define what creative strategy even means in an AI-native world. What You'll Do Creative Strategy & Client Partnership Own the creative strategy relationship for a portfolio of enterprise and high-growth brand accounts, serving as their primary strategic partner Translate Atria's proprietary creative intelligence — performance patterns, audience signals, competitive insights — into actionable creative frameworks, briefs, and recommendations Develop and present data-informed creative strategies across channels (Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and beyond), connecting analytical rigor to creative intuition Conduct deep creative audits, competitive analyses, and trend assessments that give clients an unfair advantage Collaborate cross-functionally with Atria's product and data teams to turn platform insights into strategic narratives clients can act on Customer Success & Account Growth Build deep, trusted relationships with senior marketing and creative leaders at client organizations — become the person they call first Drive measurable client outcomes: retention, expansion, satisfaction, and advocacy Run strategic reviews, QBRs, and workshop sessions that consistently demonstrate Atria's value and deepen engagement Identify opportunities to expand scope, surface unmet needs, and help clients get more from the platform Serve as the voice of the customer internally, feeding insights back to product and go-to-market teams AI × Creative Strategy Thought Leadership Stay obsessively current on the evolving landscape of AI-powered creative tools, generative media, autonomous creative workflows, and agentic creative systems Develop and share original points of view on where creative strategy is headed — through client presentations, content, social, events, or internal knowledge-sharing Experiment with emerging AI tools and workflows, identifying what's signal vs. noise and translating that into practical value for clients Help shape Atria's product roadmap and positioning by bridging what clients need with what's becoming possible at the frontier of AI + creative Who You Are 5–8+ years in creative strategy, brand strategy, or performance creative — ideally with experience at a top agency, platform, or high-growth DTC/e-commerce brand You've personally built creative strategies that drove measurable business results at scale, not just won awards (though that's cool too) Deep fluency in paid social and digital advertising ecosystems — you understand how creative, media, and data interact in practice Genuine intellectual curiosity about AI and its implications for creative work — you're already experimenting, not just reading headlines Exceptional communicator: you can present to a CMO, write a compelling brief, facilitate a workshop, and distill complexity into clarity High ownership and low ego — you thrive in small, fast-moving teams where you wear multiple hats and ship work that matters Strong relationship builder who earns trust quickly and maintains it through consistent delivery and genuine care Comfortable with ambiguity; energized by the chance to define a role and a discipline, not just execute a playbook
