Kikoff is a profitable, pre-IPO fintech company on a mission to empower financial security at scale. With record revenue growth in 2025 and a unicorn valuation, Kikoff has built a suite of products helping millions build credit, access liquidity, and save money. The company is scaling rapidly and seeking a Senior Creative Strategist to lead the next generation of performance-driven advertising.
In this role, you will own the end-to-end creative process—from concept to production—creating ads that drive real results across digital and paid channels. You'll translate growth goals and audience insights into compelling creative strategies and test plans, then monitor performance, analyze results, and iterate quickly based on learnings. You'll drive testing and experimentation to uncover insights and scale what works.
Key responsibilities include leading ideation, scripting, and creative development of high-performing creatives; building AI-native and human-led workflows for content creation using tools like VEO 3, Sora 2, Higgsfield, and Midjourney; partnering with production and post-production teams to bring concepts to life; collaborating cross-functionally with Growth, Brand, and Product Marketing teams; and staying ahead of industry trends in AI-driven creativity and emerging formats.
You bring 6–9 years of experience in creative strategy, advertising, social media, or content marketing, ideally with both agency and in-house experience. You have strong creative writing skills, a proven track record of concepting and producing ads that convert, and fluency in AI tools for creative production. You understand social and performance marketing channels deeply (TikTok, YouTube, Meta, CTV) and combine creative and analytical thinking to identify what works and why, then scale it. You're comfortable leading brainstorms, managing timelines, and collaborating across functions, with an obsession for culture, trends, and storytelling that connects with real people.
Bonus experience includes direct response creative, user acquisition campaigns, B2C brand work, familiarity with editing software (Premiere, CapCut, Final Cut Pro), and strong presentation skills.
