Role
Who you are
- Our ideal candidate has experience of delivering amazing results in a direct to consumer business
- We’re looking for someone who lives and breathes creative — who loves finding the angle, the hook, the phrasing that resonates deeply with your audience
- 3-5 years experience in performance creative, brand marketing or creative strategy, ideally in a fast-growth D2C environment
- A deep understanding of what makes people pay attention, engage and convert on Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and beyond
- Proven ability to craft messaging, concepts and stories that drive real commercial impact
- A track record of shaping creative production - briefing, scripting, and managing creators and editors
- Commercially minded — you understand how creative decisions impact CAC, ROAS, and conversion rate
- Confidence working in ambiguity — you’re comfortable testing, learning, and building as you go
- A bias for action and a sharp creative point of view — you bring energy, fun and creative ideas, and ownership to the table
What the job involves
- To take things to the next level we’re looking for a bold, structured, and insight-led Creative Strategist to help expand and scale one of our most strategically important growth engines
- You’ll be the creative brain behind our performance ads, developing the stories, messages, and ideas that make people stop scrolling and say “I need this.”
- You’ll turn insights into concepts, and concepts into ads that genuinely perform
- You’ll collaborate closely with designers, editors, creators and analysts to bring structure to our testing process and push boundaries with bold, high-performing creative
- This role is about making creative work harder and smarter — using data, insight and intuition to scale what drives action
- Develop value-led messaging that connects with what our audience cares about most — bringing Carmoola’s value to life in a way that builds trust fast
- Run a structured creative testing programme to learn what wins across channels, and scale creative that drives results
- Lead the development of concepts, scripts, and visual direction for video, static, UGC and more, from first idea to final asset
- Oversee ad production end-to-end: briefing editors, creators, and freelancers to bring performance creative to life, fast
- Collaborate with designers, editors, creators and analysts to launch, learn and iterate quickly
- Turn data into creative direction: using performance insights to shape sharper messaging, fresher ideas, and better results
- Build our creative playbook: capturing learnings from what works (and what doesn’t) to continuously raise the bar
- A high-impact role with room to grow: You’ll own a core part of our performance marketing engine — with the opportunity to shape how we approach creative and unlock new levels of customer acquisition
Salary benchmarks
Our take
The current car buying experience lacks clarity around pricing and cost, meaning that buyers are often unable to make informed decisions regarding financing until very late into the process. Carmoola offers a solution to this by providing speedy financing options at the start of the buying process, placing control back into customers' hands.
The company is able to offer this radically different strategy through new, innovative ways of approaching risk assessments that are geared towards transparency. Further, while other digital lenders and brokers require some phone calls and paperwork, Carmoola differentiates itself by operating entirely online for a more streamlined customer experience.
Funding has allowed the company to scale rapidly, and future plans include a continuation of this growth through new hires and development invested into its platform.
