Wildcard | Santa Monica, CA (In-Person)
Wildcard is revolutionizing how companies engage with hard-to-reach executives through AI-powered, hyper-personalized campaigns. Our platform combines deep research capabilities with creative execution to achieve the impossible: landing meetings that transform businesses.
Founded by entrepreneurs who built and sold a venture-backed startup (raising >$25M from investors like Greylock and Michael Ovitz), we’ve grown from $0 to $450k ARR in just three months.
We’re looking for a Creative Strategist to lead the development and execution of highly personalized, one-of-a-kind marketing campaigns. This role blends creative problem-solving, operational execution, and project management to deliver campaigns that stand out and drive business results.
You will be responsible for turning insights into compelling, high-impact campaigns, managing execution end-to-end, and ensuring quality and efficiency across all creative operations. While your primary focus will be campaign generation, you will also flex into other parts of the operational process as needed.
This is a hands-on, execution-heavy role that requires someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-accountability environment and has a strong intuition for what makes campaigns successful.
- A creative problem-solver who thrives on bringing unique ideas to life.
- Highly detail-oriented and organized, with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
- Resourceful and adaptable—able to work through ambiguity and wear many hats.
- Someone with a strong eye for design and storytelling who can refine creative output.
- Comfortable analyzing data and insights to shape compelling, targeted campaigns.
- A proactive executor who can manage campaign workflows, anticipate challenges, and deliver high-quality output on time.
- Own and execute highly personalized marketing campaigns based on prospect profiles and strategic insights.
- Analyze data and research to inform campaign concepts, ensuring each campaign is highly targeted and impactful.
- Oversee project management, coordinating creative elements and ensuring smooth execution.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with sales, creative, and operations teams to refine ideas and ensure campaigns align with client needs.
- Provide creative direction and copy refinement, ensuring messaging and design are highly polished, engaging, and effective.
- Identify unique angles and insights that can be leveraged in campaigns to create highly personalized outreach.
- Manage workflows and process improvements, helping streamline and optimize the campaign execution process.
- Flex into other operational areas as needed, supporting team needs dynamically.

- Creative Strategy (Agency or In-House): Experience crafting brand and marketing campaigns based on audience insights.
- Experiential Marketing / Event Planning: Ability to develop and execute high-touch, personalized marketing experiences.
- Brand & Content Marketing: Strong understanding of storytelling, messaging, and creative execution.
- Creative Production / Project Management: Managing campaign workflows, coordinating design and content teams, and ensuring quality execution.
- High-Growth Startups: Experience working in a fast-paced, highly autonomous environment where execution speed and adaptability are key.
Candidates should be proficient or comfortable in:
- Figma (to structure and refine campaign assets)
- Notion, Slack, AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) for research, organization, and communication
- Location: Santa Monica, CA (in-person, 4 - 5 days/week) or Remote (offshore candidates encouraged to apply)
