Creative Strategist

About us At Praktika.ai , we're on a mission to deliver efficient and engaging learning experiences for billions of students worldwide by bridging the gap between learning apps and human tutors. We've done this by building a fully automated language tutoring experience powered by generative AI avatars. After raising $30 million in Series A funding, we're growing and looking for a Creative Strategist to join us. We're a small, global team pushing the boundaries of what's possible in language learning. We like independent self-starters who work well in a team and on their own, and who enjoy the pace of an early-stage startup. About the role You'll join our creative team, reporting directly to our Creative Manager. This is a strategist and producer role. You'll own our paid creative from first idea to live test: what we make, how good it is, and making sure every piece gets shipped and tested. You'll run all production across UGC, AI video and statics, and work closely with UA and media buyers to learn from the results. This is a performance role first, not a design role. You'll be judged on what the creative does in-market, not on how it looks. You don't need to be a media buyer, but you do need to understand UA well enough to make creative decisions from the numbers. What you'll do Ideas and strategy Own the creative ideas behind our paid campaigns across web, web-to-app and app (iOS and Android) on Meta, TikTok, Google, Apple Search Ads, AppLovin and Snapchat Turn performance data, competitor ads and audience research into the next round of concepts Test hooks, angles and formats, each with a clear hypothesis, and feed the results back into briefs Production and quality Own all creative production: UGC, AI video and statics Write briefs for designers and UGC creators that spell out the angle, audience, references, models, tools and specs, so nobody has to come back with questions Specify the right AI model for each shot. Different models win at different things, and you'll know which one to call for. Hold the quality bar and keep the brand consistent across everything that ships Full cycle, brief to test Take every creative from brief through production to a live test Work with UA and media buyers on test structure and on what to scale or kill Read the results across the full funnel (hook rate, hold rate, CTR, CPM, CVR, CPA, ROAS) and know which metric is misleading you on a given creative Making it faster Build automated processes, prompt libraries, templates and batch pipelines that increase output and cut repetitive work Keep up with new models and bring the good ones into the workflow Document the processes so the team can run them What we're looking for 2+ years in creative strategy for paid acquisition, ideally as a creative manager, creative lead or creative strategist working alongside a performance or UA team Strong creative judgement: you come up with the ideas and hold a high quality bar …
