[Hiring] Junior Creative Strategist @Elavate

Role Description

We're hiring a sharp, AI-native Junior Creative Strategist to make sure every video ad we launch is the best version of itself.

Our goal is simple: launch the best ads possible, as fast as possible.

• Review every ad before it goes live.
• Watch every first draft from our in-house editors and agency partners, and leave timestamped notes in Frame.io.
• Catch everything: captions, typos, clipped words, audio levels, pacing, weak B-roll, hooks that don't stitch into the body, the product showing too early.
• Push past "correct" to "better": stronger hook visuals, music, SFX, text styles and cuts.
• Plan 3-6 cutdowns and extra hook variations for each ad, so we test more versions of every idea.
• Turn scripts into clear briefs, with a short Loom showing the dream edit.
• Give specific feedback ("change X because Y") so the same note never comes up twice.
• Run weekly check-ins with your editors, match work to their strengths and keep output on track.
• Own the production board in Notion: assign edits, chase deadlines and reassign when someone's off.
• Get influencer content over the line: every hook, every file and whitelisting access, tracked and ready.
• Hand final files to media buying, named and labelled so launches are clean.
• Read the comments on our live ads for objections, questions and new hook ideas.
• Know which ads are winning and why, and bring those patterns into the next edit.
• Keep a swipe file of the best DTC ads and new formats worth testing.
• Help build our AI editing pipeline, using tools like Claude Code, Higgsfield and ElevenLabs.
• Keep teaching the system: feed it new formats, references and examples so the output improves every week.
• Help editors adopt new tools, and check AI edits as closely as human ones.
• Review agency scripts and fix logic or flow issues before anything gets filmed.
• Write bottom-of-funnel scripts, hooks and variations using our copy frameworks and AI tools.

Qualifications

• Strong with AI.
• A ruthless eye for detail.
• Clear, specific feedback.
• Technical confidence.
• Taste for direct response.
• A team player.
• Ownership and speed.
• No ego.
• Based in the UK or Europe, working remotely.

Requirements

• A background in video editing, content creation or creative strategy.
• Experience at a DTC brand or performance agency.
• An understanding of acquisition numbers: ad spend, cost per purchase and what makes an ad scale.
• An interest in direct response copywriting.
• Something you've built yourself: a side project, a small business or a startup.

Benefits

• £40,000 - £45,000 base, depending on experience.
• A pay review at 3 months against agreed goals, then clear pay tiers from there.
• 30 days off a year.
• Private health insurance.
• A learning budget for courses, communities and coaching.
• Paid AI tools, including Claude.
• Remote-first, with flexible hours.
• Direct access to the founder.
• Free Elavate products.
