Creative Strategist

Creative Strategist, Rivor Commerce

Remote \| Full-Time \| $6,000 to $10,000 USD per month

Hey there! We are Rivor Commerce, a US based DTC eCommerce company, and we are looking for a Creative Strategist to join our team.

You will own the research, the ideation, the copy, the creative direction, and the editing team that brings it all to life. What comes out of that engine is yours, and so is the growth it produces.

Put simply, your job is to maximize profitable ad spend through a constant output of winning creatives.

About us

We run a portfolio of brands and we specialize in direct response marketing. This role sits on one of them, with its own team of editors.

You work directly with the founder, and there is no approval queue here. The only thing between your idea and the ad account is whether the work is good. The brand, the editors and the system are already in place, and the only thing missing is the person to fill the seat.

Why this role is crucial

You will hold the single biggest lever in this business.

Your words will reach millions of people who have been told for years that nothing can help them. You decide what they hear and whether they believe it.

Your focus stays on the two things you are great at: creating the strategy and executing it by writing the copy, and leading the editors who turn that into finished ads.

Who we are looking for

You understand that the success of your creatives will rely on four things:

• The depth at which you understand our markets. Desires, awareness, sophistication.
• The depth at which you understand our products and their mechanisms. Physical and functional.
• The depth of your direct response skill, and whether it lets you turn that understanding into angles, briefs and copy that channels desire, builds believability and identifies with potential customers.
• The depth at which you can transfer your vision to the editors, so the ad that gets built is the ad you saw in your head.

You are never short of ideas. You know how to take a winner and iterate it into a bigger one, and how to find the new angle nobody else bothered to research, because you understand not just what our audiences want but how they want to be spoken to.

You will become obsessed with studying the content our potential customers are actively consuming. Not just the ads they are served, but their organic feed. By seeing what they see, you will know which formats and visuals grab their attention and ultimately move them.

You are also a leader. You set the standard of quality the editing team measures itself against, and you push them to reach it. When an ad comes back wrong, you clear up exactly what is off and keep pushing the editor until it matches the vision in the brief.

Your core responsibilities

• Perform in-depth market research weekly
• Deliver at least 12 ad concepts and briefs per week, each carrying the visual vision for the ad: shot logic, pacing, hook visual, B-roll, text on screen
• Review every creative draft with the team inside Monday.com and Frame.io to make sure briefs are executed
• Hold the editing team accountable to their KPIs and support their development
• Complete a weekly feedback loop: ad analysis and review on the concepts you have created
• Constantly test to find and target the micro pockets inside each avatar
• Read the ad account data and feed what it tells you back into research and the next round of tests
• Leverage AI to increase your output, and push the editors to the maximum of what AI video can do
• Keep up with the space: what is working now, which brands are winning, what is transferable
• Attend weekly team calls to discuss concepts and review performance

What we are looking for

• 2+ years in creative strategy or direct response copywriting for DTC eCommerce brands
• Experience at brands doing 7 or 8 figures
• Personally responsible for scaling a 7-figure brand to multiple 7 figures or 8 figures
• $1M+ in ad spend behind creatives you wrote or briefed
• Read Breakthrough Advertising by Eugene Schwartz
• Fluent English speaker and writer
• Experience working in a team environment and understanding individual roles

Compensation and perks

• $6,000 to $10,000 USD per month, depending on experience and track record
• For the right fit, we are open to unlocking a performance bonus based on the profitable ad spend you generate
• Remote and flexible work environment
• Access to the best learning material in the DTC space. We already own most of it, and if there is something you want that we do not have, we will buy it.
• Flexible paid time off, taken when you need it
