About Atria
Atria is a creative intelligence platform that has analyzed over $5B in ad spend data to decode what makes creative work actually perform. We work with brands like Perplexity, True Classic, Loop Earplugs, and Paramount - helping them make smarter creative decisions powered by proprietary AI and deep pattern recognition. We're a profitable, 20-person team building at the frontier of where AI meets creative strategy, and we believe the entire discipline is about to be reinvented.
The Role
We're looking for a Creative Strategist who can operate at the intersection of three things most people treat as separate jobs: world-class creative strategy for enterprise brands, hands-on customer success that makes clients feel like you're an extension of their team, and genuine fluency in how AI is reshaping how creative gets made, tested, and scaled.
This isn't a "make a few decks and hand them off" role. You'll be the strategic brain our biggest clients rely on - translating Atria's data and intelligence into creative direction that moves the needle, while also helping us define what creative strategy even means in an AI-native world.
What You'll Do
Creative Strategy & Client Partnership
Own the creative strategy relationship for a portfolio of enterprise and high-growth brand accounts, serving as their primary strategic partner
Translate Atria's proprietary creative intelligence - performance patterns, audience signals, competitive insights - into actionable creative frameworks, briefs, and recommendations
Develop and present data-informed creative strategies across channels (Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and beyond), connecting analytical rigor to creative intuition
Conduct deep creative audits, competitive analyses, and trend assessments that give clients an unfair advantage
Collaborate cross-functionally with Atria's product and data teams to turn platform insights into strategic narratives clients can act on
Customer Success & Account Growth
Build deep, trusted relationships with senior marketing and creative leaders at client organizations - become the person they call first
Drive measurable client outcomes: retention, expansion, satisfaction, and advocacy
Run strategic reviews, QBRs, and workshop sessions that consistently demonstrate Atria's value and deepen engagement
Identify opportunities to expand scope, surface unmet needs, and help clients get more from the platform
Serve as the voice of the customer internally, feeding insights back to product and go-to-market teams
AI × Creative Strategy Thought Leadership
Stay obsessively current on the evolving landscape of AI-powered creative tools, generative media, autonomous creative workflows, and agentic creative systems
Develop and share original points of view on where creative strategy is headed - through client presentations, content, social, events, or internal knowledge-sharing
Experiment with emerging AI tools and workflows, identifying what's signal vs. noise and translating that into practical value for clients
Help shape Atria's product roadmap and positioning by bridging what clients need with what's becoming possible at the frontier of AI + creative
Who You Are
5-8+ years in creative strategy, brand strategy, or performance creative - ideally with experience at a top agency, platform, or high-growth DTC/e-commerce brand
You've personally built creative strategies that drove measurable business results at scale, not just won awards (though that's cool too)
Deep fluency in paid social and digital advertising ecosystems - you understand how creative, media, and data interact in practice
Genuine intellectual curiosity about AI and its implications for creative work - you're already experimenting, not just reading headlines
Exceptional communicator: you can present to a CMO, write a compelling brief, facilitate a workshop, and distill complexity into clarity
High ownership and low ego - you thrive in small, fast-moving teams where you wear multiple hats and ship work that matters
Strong relationship builder who earns trust quickly and maintains it through consistent delivery and genuine care
Comfortable with ambiguity; energized by the chance to define a role and a discipline, not just execute a playbook
