Forward Deployed Creative Strategist

About the role

We are looking for our first Forward Deployed Creative Strategist to act as the crucial bridge between our cutting-edge agentic platform and the world’s most innovative brands. Reporting into the Solutions & Success organization, you will be a zero-to-one foundational member of the team. You will speak peer-to-peer with performance marketing leaders, educate them on the paradigm shift toward agentic marketing systems, and guide them through successful pilots. You will pair your deep marketing expertise with innate sales acumen to navigate complex buying processes and drive adoption.

Responsibilities

• Act as a Strategic Peer: Engage with performance marketing teams at top-tier, innovative companies. You will speak their language, understand their current attribution and campaign scaling challenges, and educate them on how agentic workflows can transform their operations.
• Drive Deals & Pilots: Partner closely with our sales organization to navigate complex enterprise buying processes. You will be instrumental in defining pilot success criteria and driving those pilots forward to closed-won deals.
• Collaborate with Creative: Work hand-in-hand with our Forward Deployed Creative Designers. You will bridge the gap between performance data and creative execution, ensuring that AI-generated assets (utilizing the latest generation models like Veo and Nano Banana 2) are optimized for conversion and pilot success.
• Shape the Playbook: As the first person in this role, you will help design the go-to-market motion, define the educational frameworks we use for new customers, and feed critical market insights back to our product and engineering teams.

Requirements

• Performance Marketing DNA: Deep, hands-on experience running and scaling performance marketing campaigns. You understand the metrics, the pain points, and the day-to-day realities of a performance marketer.
• Sales Acumen: You possess strong commercial instincts. Whether you have formal sales experience or a natural ability to guide a prospect through an evaluation, you know how to build consensus, handle objections, and close.
• Cross-Functional Fluency: Proven experience working closely with creative teams and designers. You know how to brief creatives, evaluate assets, and tie creative performance back to marketing metrics.
• A "Zero-to-One" Mindset: You thrive in ambiguity and are excited by the prospect of building a new function from the ground up in a fast-paced environment.
• Technical Curiosity: An eagerness to dive deep into AI-driven creative performance and the evolving landscape of agentic marketing tools.

Qualifications

• Minimum 5 years of experience in performance marketing, preferably within a B2B or enterprise setting.
• Proven track record of successfully launching and scaling performance marketing campaigns.
• Experience in sales and/or business development, particularly in the tech or marketing technology space.
• Strong understanding of digital marketing strategies and tactics, including attribution modeling and campaign scaling.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to articulate complex concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple projects simultaneously.

Skills

• Deep knowledge of performance marketing principles and best practices.
• Strong analytical skills, with the ability to interpret data and make informed decisions.
• Ability to build and maintain relationships with key stakeholders across the organization.
• Experience with AI-driven creative tools and platforms.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, agile environment.
