Senior Strategist
Kinetic StrategiesWe build lasting momentum. We work with campaigns, causes, and brands to engage the audiences that matter and to drive movements forward.
Background Kinetic Strategies is an integrated digital and creative agency helping campaigns and causes run the most efficient and effective online campaigns possible. Since our founding in 2022, our team has brought a wealth of experience to the table, from campaign management to leading digital programs that bring in record-breaking sums. Our distributed team is proud to serve candidates and electeds across federal, state, and local levels of government. We also support purpose-driven organizations. In total, since our founding, we've supported well over 100 clients and are currently working with several dozen clients. We’ve scaled our operations by being an engaged, responsive, creative, and data-informed practice. We are a full-service digital and strategy firm supporting our clients across our three functions of services: online fundraising, media buying and strategy, and product & creative. Values Kinetic is a collaborative, dynamic work environment that is values-driven. We put people first: Our team prioritizes people over profit. We are immensely proud of our diversity. We trust, support, and respect our colleagues. We are always communicative and accountable. We learn from our colleagues and push each other to be a better version of ourselves every day. We are results-driven: Our team is always adapting to the constantly changing digital ecosystem. We are committed to spending our time and energy on the things that matter and provide the most value for our clients. We are audacious: Our team is confident and enjoys being challenged. We embrace the art and science of problem-solving, and we aren’t afraid to take bold actions that challenge conventional thought. We are ethical practitioners: Our team runs programs that positively represent our clients and that build longer-term relationships with supporters — and that's important in an ecosystem plagued with alarmism and unethical practices.

We are looking for a Senior Recovery Strategist to serve as the definitive escalation point for high-value and highly skeptical claimants. This is not a standard outreach role; you are the bridge between initial contact and successful recovery. When a claim stalls, a claimant becomes unresponsive, or skepticism blocks progress, you step in to re-establish trust, dismantle objections, and lead the case to a successful resolution. This role requires a unique blend of investigative curiosity, executive presence, and the art of high-stakes negotiation. This role is 100% commission. Core Responsibilities - Hot leads and stalled cases: Take ownership of stalled or complex leads across various campaigns (Client Care, Email, and Complex Claims). You will develop and execute strategic plans to "thaw" cold leads and re-engage claimants who have disengaged from the process. - New Leads: Make contact to explain the process and next steps to convert to a signed agreement. - Strategic Verification: Conduct deep-dive research to confirm claimant identity, heirship, and asset linkage. You will collaborate with genealogists and internal teams to ensure every claim is accurate and legally defensible. - Consultative Closing: Convert hesitant prospects into signed agreements by clearly explaining contingency structures and documentation requirements. You aren’t just "closing"; you are building a bridge of credibility. - CRM Integrity: Maintain meticulous records of outreach and research to ensure a seamless handoff between the sales, research, and claims processing departments.
Creative Is Not Decoration Here. It Is the Growth Lever. We're Simply Nootropics (simplynootropics.com) — one of the fastest-growing health and wellness brands across Australia and New Zealand, serving over 100,000 customers with science-backed supplements designed to improve energy, focus, and long-term vitality. We're also the team behind Tmrw (drinktmrw.com) — a premium longevity-focused daily health drink built around cellular health, NAD+ support, gut health, and healthy aging. Two brands. Multiple markets. Aggressive growth targets. Paid social is one of our primary growth channels — and creative performance directly impacts revenue. We're looking for a Creative Strategy Lead who can turn audience insight and performance data into scalable, high-converting paid social concepts across both brands. This role is equal parts strategist, analyst, and hands-on executor. You won't just "come up with ideas." You'll build structured testing pipelines, extract insights from performance data, develop repeatable creative frameworks, and raise the performance baseline quarter after quarter. If you understand hooks at a molecular level, live inside ad libraries, and obsess over iteration cycles — keep reading. The Role You will own creative strategy across paid social for both Simply Nootropics and Tmrw. You'll work directly with our Head of Creative, media buyers, designers, editors, and creator teams across markets. Your thinking, frameworks, and execution will directly influence growth across two global wellness brands. What You'll Own Creative Strategy, Concepting & UGC Develop high-performing paid social concepts across all markets for both brands. Translate audience insights, product messaging, and performance data into creative angles and hooks. Lead concept development from brief through to execution. Stay hands-on — you'll be scripting, writing copy, and shaping concepts yourself, not just directing from a distance. Develop strategic, performance-driven UGC briefs across products and markets. Collaborate with our Creator Coordinator to brief, review, and iterate on creator content. Identify hooks, angles, and video formats that are driving results across the category. Ensure all output meets platform specs, brand guidelines, and compliance requirements for both brands. This is performance-led, hypothesis-driven creative — not random ideas thrown at a wall. Performance Analysis & Optimisation Analyse creative performance data across both Simply Nootropics and Tmrw to identify what's working, what isn't, and why. Define and track creative KPIs across markets, formats, and both brands. Translate performance signals into actionable creative iterations. Work closely with paid media to align creative strategy with scaling decisions. You should be as comfortable reading a dashboard and making strategic calls from data as you are writing a script. Testing & Iteration Systems Build and manage a structured creative testing pipeline with clear hypotheses and documented learnings across both brands. Feed iteration cycles back into strategy to continuously raise the performance baseline. We want compounding improvement — not random spikes.
