Who We Are
Sans is on a mission to build the next great consumer hardware brand, with a laser focus on products that help people live healthier lives at home. We started with a category-leading air purifier before expanding to a best-in-class countertop water purifier that actually works to eliminate harmful contaminants – and our product roadmap is just getting started.
We’re a small, ambitious team that believes deeply in our ability to create a meaningful consumer brand. We move fast, learn quickly, and consistently outperform much larger competitors.
Your Role
As Creative Strategist, you own the ideas that sell Sans. You'll sit at the intersection of brand, growth, and production – translating customer insight and performance data into ad concepts, briefing them out to a team of internal creatives and external partners, and making sure every paid channel has a steady supply of work that performs. This role reports directly into our Director of Growth and is a hands-on ownership role: you'll set the creative strategy across our entire paid portfolio, and you'll be accountable for driving creative performance.
