Senior Creative Strategist - Paid Social (Meta Ads)

Senior Creative Strategist – Paid Social (Meta Ads) | Remote
Position Type: Full-Time, Remote
Working Hours: EST Hours
About the Role
At Pavago, one of our clients is hiring a Senior Creative Strategist – Paid Social (Meta Ads) to lead creative-first performance marketing across Facebook and Instagram.
This is not a traditional media buying role focused primarily on dashboards, bids, and campaign settings. Your biggest impact will come from developing winning ad concepts, compelling hooks, conversion-focused messaging, strong creative briefs, and stories that turn attention into revenue.
You’ll own the creative-performance cycle from idea → creative strategy → launch → testing → optimization → scale.
If you understand why an ad converts — and can consistently turn those insights into better creative — this role is built for you.

What Separates Top Candidates

Portfolio of proven winning creatives across UGC, static ads, and short-form video

What Makes You a Strong Fit

You think creative-first, not dashboard-first

You understand the relationship between creative → offer → conversion

You can explain why an ad worked — not simply report that it worked

You combine strong creative instincts with analytical decision-making

You test aggressively and learn quickly

You proactively bring new concepts rather than waiting for briefs

You care about revenue and conversion performance, not vanity metrics

You thrive in fast-paced, performance-driven environments

What a Typical Day Looks Like
You may start by reviewing Meta campaign performance and identifying winning and fatigued creatives. From there, you’ll develop new hooks and ad angles, write briefs for designers and UGC creators, launch new tests, and analyze CPL, CPA, CTR, and ROAS.
You’ll continuously move between creative ideation, campaign execution, performance analysis, and iteration.
In short: you drive paid social growth by combining exceptional creative strategy with performance-focused Meta Ads execution.
