Junior Creative Strategist

Your Role Sans is on a mission to build the next great consumer hardware brand, with a laser focus on products that help people live healthier lives at home. We started with a category-leading air purifier before expanding to a best-in-class countertop water purifier that actually works to eliminate harmful contaminants – and our product roadmap is just getting started. We’re a small, ambitious team that believes deeply in our ability to create a meaningful consumer brand. We move fast, learn quickly, and consistently outperform much larger competitors. The Growth team plays a critical role in driving customer acquisition, revenue, and scalable growth across channels. This team is accountable for developing and optimizing performance marketing strategies, creative, and experiments to efficiently reach new customers and expand our impact as we grow. The Junior Creative Strategist will support the execution layer of our creative operation across paid ads and other channels. They will help concept and develop video ad scripts, build detailed creative briefs, and support the sourcing and management of content creators from outreach through final delivery. They will also assist in monitoring creative performance and translating insights into new creative ideas and directions. The role reports directly to our Creative Strategist and will work closely with our Video Editor, Digital Designer, agency partners, and content creators. The ideal candidate brings strong instincts for paid social ads and direct-response marketing. They should be comfortable working across both creative strategy and execution — contributing ideas, supporting creator workflows, and helping analyze performance to identify what’s working, what’s not, and where we should go next. They bring a scrappy, proactive mindset and are excited to learn quickly in a fast-moving environment. Responsibilities and Duties
