About The Role
As a Growth Marketing Manager - Creative Strategy, you'll own the creative strategy engine for paid social, starting with Meta and TikTok. You'll be the connective tissue between performance data and great creative: digging into why ads work, surfacing human insights behind the numbers, and translating those into concepts that drive results at scale. You'll report to our Growth Creative Lead and work closely with peers across Creative, Paid Media, Influencer, Design, and Analytics. The work you do will directly support our mission to improve people's health as our ads are often the first way many patients hear about Nourish. This role is full-time and open to NYC-based candidates only (expectation to work in-person 3+ days per week, with some remote flexibility). Our office is located in Flatiron. Please note: This role is best suited for candidates with hands-on performance creative experience in a startup or agency environment. While backgrounds in copywriting, organic social, or UGC can be additive, we’re looking for someone who has directly owned creative strategy tied to paid growth outcomes.
Key Responsibilities & Opportunity
- Own the creative strategy engine for paid social channels: You'll drive efficient growth across our core channels, starting with Meta and TikTok. You’ll set creative roadmaps, develop ad concepts, and iterate toward ad winners and lower CPA. You’ll use performance data to experiment with new hooks, formats, messaging, and cultural trends.
- Lead quarterly and weekly creative testing: You'll translate performance data into insight-driven briefs and guide internal teammates, agencies, and influencer partners to deliver impactful assets.
- Collaborate with creative team to ship winning creative: You'll work directly with Design, Video, Copy, and Influencer to brief, review, and scale concepts, acting as a coach and light creative director to strengthen creative output.
- Own creative reporting and insights: You'll own weekly creative strategy reporting and partner with Paid Media to analyze results and suggest optimization opportunities. Your analyses will translate data into actionable insights, test priorities, and scale decisions.
- Drive broader strategic analysis and learning: You’ll lead macro analyses that go beyond weekly performance, looking across audience, messaging, and other key drivers to identify larger growth opportunities.
You’re a Great Fit If You
- Have 3–5 years of direct experience as a growth marketing manager or creative strategist, ideally within a performance creative agency or in-house team. Perhaps you’re a growth marketer ready to move beyond media buying or a strategist from a performance agency interested in a mission-driven, high-ownership role.
- Are naturally social-first with strong creative instincts. You can turn an insight into a wide range of innovative, on-trend paid social concepts. You’re personally always online and intrinsically motivated by creative trends.
- Are an excellent creative partner. You work seamlessly with creatives, communicate learnings clearly, value feedback, and can act as a coach or light creative director on briefs.
- Are intellectually curious and drawn to insight generation. You’re strong at pattern recognition, spotting performance trends in creative data, and uncovering the human insight behind what’s working.
- Are a data-driven problem solver. You’re comfortable interpreting performance metrics and translating insights into creative action. You understand performance fundamentals and are familiar with dashboards like Motion.
- Are detail-oriented and organized. Sloppy work, incorrect ad names, poorly cropped creative, and missed deadlines wouldn’t make it past you.
- Are scrappy, action-oriented, and self-motivated. You’re excited to get your hands dirty and solve problems at both the strategic and tactical levels.
- Thrive in fast-paced environments where priorities shift and stakes are high.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding J-1 Visa Sponsorship as a Growth Manager
Align your training plan with growth functions
Before applying, document how your prior education or experience maps to specific growth competencies: acquisition, retention, experimentation, and analytics. A targeted training plan strengthens DS-2019 approval and signals program-category fit to your designated sponsor.
Distinguish Intern from Trainee eligibility early
If you're currently enrolled in a degree program, you qualify for the J-1 Intern category. If you've graduated within the past 12 months, the Trainee category applies. Applying under the wrong category delays your DS-2019 issuance and can void a host employer's offer.
Search for host employers on Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to identify U.S. companies actively hosting J-1 exchange visitors in business and growth roles. Filtering by role type and company size helps you prioritize outreach toward organizations already familiar with the host employer obligations.
Verify the host employer's J-1 compliance history
Ask prospective host employers whether they've previously worked with a State Department-designated sponsor. Employers unfamiliar with J-1 host obligations, including worksite conditions and training plan supervision, are less likely to complete the required documentation on time.
Request your DS-2019 before negotiating a start date
Your designated sponsor, not your host employer, controls DS-2019 issuance timing. Build in at least four to six weeks between sponsor approval and your intended program start date to account for consular processing, especially outside major visa interview cities.
Check whether your role triggers the two-year rule
Some J-1 participants are subject to a two-year home residency requirement based on their country of nationality or funding source. Confirm your status with your designated sponsor before accepting a host offer, as this affects any future U.S. visa applications.

Find Growth Manager JobsGrowth Manager J-1 Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Which J-1 program category fits a Growth Manager role?
The J-1 Trainee category is the most common fit for early-career growth professionals who have graduated within the past 12 months or have relevant work experience. Current students completing a degree can use the J-1 Intern category for summer or co-op placements. Both categories require a structured training plan tied to specific growth functions such as user acquisition, analytics, or campaign optimization.
Who actually sponsors my J-1 visa, the employer or a separate organization?
A U.S. Department of State-designated sponsor organization, such as Cultural Vistas, CIEE, or AIPT, issues your DS-2019 form and holds the legal sponsorship role. Your hiring company is the host employer, not the visa sponsor. The host employer must cooperate with the designated sponsor on training plan documentation and worksite supervision, but it does not control DS-2019 issuance or program compliance.
How do I find U.S. companies that host J-1 exchange visitors in growth roles?
Most job boards don't filter by J-1 host eligibility, which makes it hard to identify the right companies. Migrate Mate lets you search specifically for U.S. employers and roles that align with J-1 sponsorship requirements, saving time you'd otherwise spend vetting each company's familiarity with J-1 host obligations.
Can I transition from J-1 Trainee to a work visa like H-1B after my program ends?
Yes, but the two-year home residency requirement may apply depending on your country of nationality and funding source. If it applies, you'd need to fulfill it or obtain a waiver before changing to H-1B or most other work visa categories. Confirm your home residency status with your designated sponsor before assuming a direct transition is possible.
What does a J-1 training plan need to include for a Growth Manager position?
Your training plan, typically submitted on Form DS-7002, must break down the program into phases covering specific skills: for a growth role, that means defined rotations across areas like paid acquisition, SEO strategy, A/B testing, and performance reporting. Vague plans citing only general marketing exposure are frequently rejected. Your designated sponsor reviews the plan for sufficiency before issuing the DS-2019.
