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
