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.

  • Creative Strategy & Concepting
    • Own creative strategy end to end across our paid channels – including but not limited to Meta, Pinterest, AppLovin, TikTok, YouTube, Google Display, and CTV

  • Roadmapping & Production
    • Build and maintain weekly and monthly creative flighting roadmaps that keep every channel stocked with fresh, on-strategy assets
    • Manage the concept-to-launch pipeline: timelines, asset volume, revisions, and delivery, so nothing stalls between idea and live ad
  • Partner & Team Management
    • Serve as the day-to-day owner of our creative agency partnerships – translating creative needs, giving feedback, and holding partners to a high standard of quality and turnaround
    • Lead a growing team including in-house junior creative strategists and a network of creatives including video editors, designers, etc.
  • Performance & Cross-Functional Partnership
    • Work hand in hand with our Head of Growth and paid media team to understand account needs and translate them into the right creative at the right volume
    • Analyze creative performance – hook rates, hold rates, CTR, CPA, ROAS, and concept-level trends. Be able to turn what you find into a testing roadmap and clear point of view on what to make next

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
