Rated #1 for customer support and managed services, #paid is leading the creator marketing space. Through innovative technology and a team of ambitious humans, we're transforming the future of the creator economy.

The Role

Creative Solutions now owns execution from end to end, so strategy has to cover the whole span: pre-sale (discovery, ideation, proposals) and post-sale (kickoff strategy, campaign briefs, post-campaign insights). As a Strategist on this team, you’ll shape the idea that wins the pitch and stay with it until it ships, performs, and turns into a renewal. Our goal is simple: the idea that wins the pitch is the idea that ships.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own the core insight and creative idea, plus the integrated plan behind it: creators, media and distribution, and measurement
  • Build proposals and RFP responses with a clear, data-backed case for #paid
  • Set the creator mix: when to scale with micro and niche creators, when to concentrate on macro names, and how to combine both
  • Build the investment plan, splitting budget across organic content, usage rights and paid amplification, and set channel mix and flighting
  • Define KPIs and benchmarks up front, optimize in flight, and turn results into renewal stories
  • Stay involved post-sale with creator briefs, content direction, and strategic QA
  • Stay ahead of market and platform changes, and translate them into sharper proposal work
  • Contribute to proactive packages and first-to-market moments
  • This person covers the whole creator-campaign lifecycle, from pre-sale ideation through post-campaign insights, with a stronger emphasis on creator mix, budget planning, and measurement

To Be Successful, You'll Need

  • Deliver integrated ideas that ship and perform
  • Use data to sharpen an idea rather than decorate it
  • Plan and defend budget allocations across paid social
  • Design measurement plans and act on performance data
  • Communicate strategy clearly in writing and in client presentations
  • Design and build decks with strong visual and narrative craft
  • Use AI tools to inform research and accelerate the creative process
  • Manage several projects at once under tight deadlines
  • Own ambiguous, high-stakes proposals independently, and drive decisions across functions without formal authority

About You

  • 5+ years in strategy, creative, social, or creator marketing (or equivalent demonstrated experience), ideally on the agency or platform side
  • Strong deck craft and real fluency in the same five platforms
  • Hands-on paid social planning and measurement experience
  • Comfort presenting to clients, and range across categories and brief types
  • Preferred: experience presenting to senior brand marketers

The pay range listed reflects base salary only. In addition to base pay, we offer additional forms of compensation for all roles, which may include variable pay (bonus or commission), stock options, and perks and benefits, depending on the role and location. We’ll discuss total compensation openly in our first conversation so there are no surprises when it comes time for an offer.
At #paid, we believe compensation should be transparent, fair, and grounded in reality.
Our compensation framework is built around clearly defined job levels based on seniority, expertise, scope of responsibility, performance expectations, and impact.
For all publicly posted roles, we share a clear compensation range that reflects the levels associated with the role and complies with applicable pay transparency laws. Candidates are hired into a specific level, and compensation is set at the base pay associated with that level. The posted range represents the span between levels, not a negotiable pay range.
When offers are made, they are presented at the compensation set for the level a candidate is hired into and are determined by experience, skills, and role alignment — not negotiation tactics or who asks first. This ensures consistent and equitable pay for team members in the same function and at the same level.
