Creative Strategist, KarmaLab, Australia (Contract)

TL;DR: We’re looking for a Reddit-loving Creative Strategist to join our KarmaLab International team in Sydney, Australia. 

Description:

So, what is KarmaLab? We are the bridge connecting our advertising partners to the vibrant culture of Reddit. Our primary mission is to collaborate with internal sales teams to help advertisers craft effective, Reddit-first creative solutions.

More about you…

First and foremost, you're fluent in internet culture and know Reddit like the back of your hand.

It might be scrappy at times and will require smart work to elevate Reddit in Australia.

We're seeking an enthusiastic Creative Strategist to support our expanding sales business in the market.
