Senior Creative Strategist

Greenlight is the leading family fintech company on a mission to help parents raise financially smart kids. We proudly serve more than 6 million parents and kids with our award-winning banking app for families. With Greenlight, parents can automate allowance, manage chores, set flexible spend controls, and invest for their family’s future. Kids and teens learn to earn, save, spend wisely, and invest. 

At Greenlight, we believe every child should have the opportunity to become financially healthy and happy. It’s no small task, and that’s why we leap out of bed every morning to come to work. Because creating a better, brighter future for the next generation depends on it.

Greenlight is looking for a Senior Creative Strategist to lead the thinking behind our creative. This person will own the strategic point of view that shapes every brief, turning internal data and cultural signal into a clear creative direction our editors and creators can run with. You'll be the person in the room asking "why this, why now, why does it matter to our audience".

This is a strategy focused role. We need someone who can look at performance data, platform trends, and audience behavior, and translate that into sharp, actionable briefs.

• Write creative briefs autonomously, grounding every recommendation in internal performance data and emerging online/cultural trends
• Develop a clear strategic rationale for each brief: what we're making, who it's for, why it will work, and how we'll know
• Accurately assess and analyze performance data (content, campaign, and platform level) to identify what's working, what's not, and why
• Translate analysis into forward looking recommendations
• Partner closely with editors to prioritize and champion strong visual strategy, giving clear feedback rooted in strategic intent
• Help ensure the "why" behind a creative choice is understood, not just the "what"
• Identify and help source content from creators, evaluating fit against brand and campaign strategy
• Work directly with creators to ensure output aligns with the brief and Greenlight's voice
• Partner with the internal brand team on asset exchange and alignment, ensuring creative stays consistent with broader brand strategy
• Act as a strategic connective tissue between data, brand, editorial, and creator relationships
