Job Description

Creative Strategist

Much Better Adventures

Role Description We're hiring a Creative Strategist to own the single biggest lever we have on customer acquisition cost: the creative. Our performance marketing systems are in genuinely good shape - measurement, channel mix, testing process, financial discipline. What we're missing isn't the plumbing. It's the fuel. We're producing variations of the same idea instead of radically different concepts, and we're getting too few real swings at the fence each month. This role exists to fix that. You'll set the creative concepting agenda, build the test-and-learn system that turns every pound of media spend into compound learning, and rebuild how MBA briefs, ships, and reviews creative end to end. The headline outcome is a structurally lower CAC over the next twelve months - driven by creative intelligence, not media efficiency tricks. A note on how the role is set up: you'll be coming in to set up an AI-enabled creative function from the ground up - designing the brief templates, the concepting cadence, the learning repository, and the automation roadmap that lets a lean team (plus production support and an agency or two) ship at a scale and quality that would otherwise require a much larger one. You'll lead the paid creative team - video editing and design at the core - with content, performance marketing, data, editorial and engineering partners across the business to draw on as the function grows. We're especially interested in candidates who have already done this kind of setup work in a previous role - built AI meaningfully into how creative gets briefed, generated, and reviewed, not just used it on the side. What you'll own - Own the creative engine end to end and set the level of ambition. - Headline metrics include: - Blended CAC, by channel and matrix cell - Hook rate and CTR on cold acquisition creative - Net-new concepts shipped per month (not variations) - Creative-attributed contribution to first-booking volume - Work in fast cycles: well-instrumented tests at the concept level, disciplined component-level iteration on the winners. - Follow the numbers without ego. What the work looks like - Own the concepting process end to end - generating distinct strategic premises, briefing them against a structured matrix of angles, formats and funnel stages. - Act as the creative quality bar - the final eye on whether a concept is genuinely distinct, on-brand, and ready to test. - Run a continuous experimentation program at both concept and component level: hooks, narratives, CTAs, formats, audiences. - Set and hold the weekly creative review cadence. - Build and run the learning repository - a single, searchable record of what worked, what didn't, and why. - Set up the AI-enabled side of the function: automations, prompts, brief generation against the matrix, variant production, hook ideation. - Work closely with performance marketing on the Analytics ↔ Media Buying ↔ Creative loop. - Partner closely with the CRO operator to maintain message match from ad to landing page. - Identify and brief against creative media gaps. - Work closely with brand, content, and lifecycle to ensure performance creative carries the MBA voice. - Own the creative dashboard and be the source of truth on the metrics. - Operate the existing creative stack and make calls on tools, agencies, and partners. Qualifications - 5+ years in creative strategy, performance creative or related roles. - 2-3 years owning a measurable performance number directly. - Experience in consumer storytelling and understanding emotional beats in creative. - Strong ad copy and script writing skills. - Clear communicator, comfortable presenting analysis and influencing across teams. - Collaborative and proactive in a fast-paced environment. Requirements - Think in concepts, not variations. - AI-fluent with experience in automated workflows for creative processes. - Hands-on with modern performance creative stack and ad platforms. - Comfortable interrogating results in analytics tools. - Recognize the importance of both the art and science of creative. - Travel experience is a bonus, not a requirement. Benefits - 38 days holiday per year (inclusive of public holidays). - Competitive compensation aligned with UK market benchmarks. - Flexible hours setup and fully remote company. - Company-wide, adventurous meet-ups. - Free trip within the first year. - £500 annual travel voucher. - 30% employee discount, plus 15% friends and family discount. - Up to 8% matched contribution pension scheme (UK employees only). - Fully comprehensive AXA private healthcare scheme (UK employees only). - Life Assurance (UK employees only). - Budget to set up a remote working space. - Supportive maternity and paternity pay. Company Description We're a fast-growing B-corp marketplace for active outdoor adventures. We help people find and book the trips that change how they spend their time on the planet, and we direct money to small independent operators, local economies, and conservation work in the places those trips happen.
