Head of Creatify Studio (Ex-Agency Owner)

About the role

You own the Studio client experience end to end — from pitch and onboarding through strategy, creative direction, delivery, and renewal. You bring real agency judgment to every ad: brief quality, hook selection, creative testing strategy, and the taste that separates ads that convert from ads that just exist. You design and refine the Studio operating model — pricing, packaging, SLAs, margin, and the workflows that let a small team deliver at agency scale. You hire and lead creative strategists and producers as Studio grows. You turn your agency scar tissue into repeatable playbooks: winning pitches, managing scope, handling difficult feedback, and keeping retention high.

What you'll do

• Own the Studio client experience end to end — from pitch and onboarding through strategy, creative direction, delivery, and renewal
• Bring real agency judgment to every ad: brief quality, hook selection, creative testing strategy, and the taste that separates ads that convert from ads that just exist
• Design and refine the Studio operating model — pricing, packaging, SLAs, margin, and the workflows that let a small team deliver at agency scale
• Hire and lead creative strategists and producers as Studio grows
• Turn your agency scar tissue into repeatable playbooks: winning pitches, managing scope, handling difficult feedback, and keeping retention high

What we're looking for

• You founded, co-founded, or ran P&L for a creative, performance marketing, or social media agency — ideally one focused on paid social video (Meta, TikTok, YouTube)
• You've personally owned client relationships: sold the work, defended the work, and kept clients for years
• Deep fluency in performance creative — hooks, UGC formats, iteration velocity, creative testing, and reading ad account data well enough to know what to make next
• Operator's mindset: you've built processes, managed margins, and know where agency delivery breaks down
• Genuine excitement about AI-generated video — not as a threat to the agency model, but as the thing that finally fixes its economics
• Comfortable in a fast-moving startup where the playbook is being written as you run it

Nice to have

• You've sold or wound down an agency and are looking for your next chapter with leverage
• You've already experimented with AI creative tools in client work
• You've sold or wound down an agency and are looking for your next chapter with leverage

Why this role

• Leverage you've never had. Every instinct you built over years of agency work, multiplied by a production engine that ships in hours instead of weeks
• Real ownership. Studio is a core bet for Creatify — you'll shape the offering, the team, and the P&L, not inherit someone else's org chart
• The right side of the shift. Creative is now the targeting. The brands winning are the ones producing the most, and Studio is built for exactly that world
• Competitive salary + meaningful equity, health benefits, and the budget to build the team you need
