Role overview
We’re hiring a Creative Strategist to help build, lead and scale Aperture’s performance creative engine.
This is not a “make pretty ads” role.
This role sits at the intersection of:
- Performance marketing
- Social-native copywriting
- User psychology
- Creator-led production
- AI-native research
- Creative testing systems
- Funnel and offer strategy
- Platform-native growth
We’re hiring a Graphic Designer to support and scale our performance creative output.
This is not a brand-only or static design role.
You’ll be working on ads. A lot of them.
Your job is to take creative concepts and turn them into high-performing visuals across paid social, UGC, statics and emerging formats.
You’ll work closely with creative strategists, performance teams and creator managers to produce assets that are clear, fast, native to platform and built to convert.
This role sits at the intersection of:
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
- Design
- Performance marketing
- Creative testing
- Social-native content
- AI-assisted production
Why this role matters
Creative is now one of the biggest levers in paid acquisition.
As targeting becomes more automated, platform signals become more complex, and competition increases, growth teams need stronger creative systems. Meta’s newer delivery systems rely heavily on creative signals, variation and structured testing, meaning creative volume and diversity are becoming central to performance.
At the same time, generative AI is changing how creative teams research, concept, produce and iterate. Leading marketing teams are using AI to speed up production, personalise messaging, analyse customer feedback and scale creative experimentation.
This role exists to keep Aperture ahead of that shift.
You’ll help us build creative systems that are faster, sharper, more human, more automated and more commercially effective.

Before you apply
We read every single application.
We ask a few questions as part of the process. This is where we understand how you think.
