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.
