About the Role

You'll own the creative strategy for our direct-to-consumer brand, ensuring the right creative reaches the right customer at every stage of the buying journey. You'll work closely with leadership to understand business priorities, develop campaign concepts, and direct our internal and external creative resources to bring those ideas to life.

• Measure success through business outcomes, including CTR, conversion rate, ROAS, CPA, and revenue.

Customer & Market Research

• Research and analyze reviews to understand buying motivations.
• Monitor competitors, market trends, and emerging creative formats.
• Identify customer objections and translate them into compelling messaging.
• Continuously uncover new angles, stories, and positioning opportunities.

Creative Direction

• Write creative briefs that clearly communicate campaign objectives and customer insights.
• Direct internal and external creative partners, including graphic designers, video production partners, photographers, and freelancers.
• Review creative work and provide feedback before launch.
• Ensure campaigns remain cohesive across Amazon, Shopify, Meta, email, and other channels.

Brand Growth

• Maintain a consistent brand voice while continuously improving how customers perceive Parcil Safety.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years in creative strategy, performance marketing, brand strategy, growth marketing, or direct-to-consumer eCommerce.
• Deep understanding of customer psychology and buying behavior.
• Strong copywriting and messaging skills.
• Experience developing creative campaigns that drive measurable business results.
• Comfortable analyzing marketing data and translating insights into creative decisions.
• Experience creating creative briefs and managing creative projects.
• Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution.
