Greenville, NC · Full-Time

Own the creative voice of the world's most-watched brand on the world's fastest-moving platform.

MrBeast is building the most influential creative studio on the planet. As TikTok Creative Lead, you will be responsible for how our brand shows up on one of the most culturally significant platforms in the world. You will bring an instinctive understanding of what makes content move on TikTok, and the creative conviction to make it happen at the highest level. This is a rare opportunity for a creative who is truly native to the platform — someone who doesn't just follow TikTok culture, but understands how to shape it. You will work alongside a dedicated Social Analytics Lead and a world-class creative team, focusing exclusively on ideation and execution for TikTok.

THE ROLE

You will own the creative output of MrBeast's TikTok presence — not the strategy, not the analytics, not the team structure. The creative. Your job is to generate ideas, pitch them with conviction, and see them through to execution. You will work fast, iterate constantly, and hold yourself to an exceptionally high bar. The best TikTok creatives in the world know that what works on other platforms doesn't automatically work here. You will bring a point of view that is specific to TikTok — its culture, its rhythms, its audience — and translate that into content that feels native to the platform while being unmistakably MrBeast.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

- Genuine, platform-native fluency on TikTok — you understand it from the inside, not from a brief.
- A proven creative track record making content that performs, whether for a brand, a creator, or yourself.
- Strong creative instincts and the confidence to pitch ideas with clarity and conviction.
- The ability to work at speed without sacrificing quality of thinking.
- Coachability, low ego, and a genuine hunger to operate at the highest level of creative.
