Full Job Description

📋 Description

• As a Creative Strategist at Sleeper Technologies, you will be the driving force behind the brand’s cultural relevance and awareness in a competitive sports and entertainment landscape, shaping how the company shows up during pivotal moments that resonate with sports fans.
• Your primary impact will come from originating bold, timely, and culturally attuned creative ideas that cut through noise and deepen fan engagement, without being responsible for day-to-day execution or performance optimization.
• You will generate and develop campaign concepts, brand activations, partnership ideas, and seasonal initiatives that align with major sports moments and fan behaviors, ensuring Sleeper shows up authentically and memorably.
• Day to day, you will translate high-level ideas into clear creative briefs and directions that marketing, design, and product teams can execute, while collaborating with growth and marketing to ensure timing, channel context, and audience relevance are strategically aligned.
• You will partner with internal teams and external stakeholders—including agencies, athletes, and content creators—to bring concepts to life, acting as a creative catalyst who champions vision over process.
• You will contribute to long-term planning around cultural calendars, sports seasons, and trending moments, using your instincts for fan behavior and media trends to anticipate where Sleeper should invest creative energy.
• Sleeper is a lean, mission-driven team of designers, engineers, product experts, and operations professionals united by a passion for connecting people through sports, where your ideas will have outsized impact due to the company’s intentional small-team structure.
• You will work in a hybrid environment across San Francisco and New York City, collaborating with a close-knit group that values innovation, fairness, and equal opportunity, and where your creative point of view will be trusted and elevated.
• In this role, you will sharpen your ability to think at the intersection of culture, timing, and brand strategy—learning how to elevate ideas from concept to cultural moment while operating in a fast-moving, sports-native environment.
• You will gain experience influencing brand direction at a growing tech platform, building a portfolio of work that demonstrates strategic creativity in sports and entertainment, and positioning yourself as a thought leader in fan-centric brand storytelling.

🎯 Requirements

• Proven track record of originating campaign ideas, creative concepts, or brand moments in creative agencies, entertainment, sports, or culturally driven brands
• Deep understanding of sports culture, fan behavior, and how audiences engage with content across media and moments
• Ability to form, articulate, and defend a clear creative point of view while collaborating cross-functionally without owning execution
• Experience translating abstract ideas into actionable creative directions that guide design, marketing, and product teams
• Comfort working in fast-paced, ambiguous environments with a focus on idea generation over process or performance metrics
• Strong collaboration skills and experience partnering with growth, marketing, leadership, and external partners to align creativity with strategy

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive salary commensurate with experience and market benchmarks
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance plans
• 401(k) retirement plan with company support
• Flexible working hours and hybrid remote work options in San Francisco and New York City
• Unlimited paid time off (PTO) to support work-life balance and well-being
• Opportunities for career advancement and professional growth within a mission-driven, impact-focused team
