Most agencies are still figuring out how creative and performance work together. This one has been living it for years, and they're now looking for the person to own that methodology across the whole business.
This is a player-coach role sitting horizontally across a pod-based delivery team. You won't be buried in a single account or siloed in one discipline. You'll be setting the standard for what excellent creative performance looks like agency-wide, mentoring senior strategists, and owning how performance data drives creative direction, including the agency's proprietary AI tooling.
The right person has serious performance marketing credentials, a genuine creative eye, and the credibility to be the senior voice in the room on craft and quality. You know Meta and Google well enough to hold a team accountable, and you understand why creative is where the real competitive edge lives.
If you've been waiting for a role that rewards the fact that you think in both languages, this is it.
