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 Marketing Manager
Build a portfolio around measurable growth outcomes
Designated sponsors assess whether your training plan demonstrates skill development you can't get at home. Document campaign ROI, A/B test results, and pipeline metrics before approaching host employers. Vague credentials stall DS-2019 approval.
Target host employers with structured training programs
Host companies must co-sign a formal Training or Internship Placement Plan (DS-7002). Mid-size and enterprise marketing teams are far more likely to have HR infrastructure to complete this form than early-stage startups.
Search Migrate Mate to find J-1-aligned roles
Use Migrate Mate to filter for Growth Marketing Manager positions at U.S. employers where J-1 exchange visitor pathways are viable. Searching by role and company type saves weeks of manually vetting employers who've never hosted exchange visitors.
Clarify the home residency requirement early
The Trainee category sometimes triggers a two-year home residency requirement depending on your country and funding source. Confirm your status with your designated sponsor before accepting an offer, since it affects future H-1B or green card eligibility.
Verify your DS-2019 dates match your offer letter
Your program start and end dates on the DS-2019 must align with your host employer's training plan. Mismatches between your offer letter timeline and your sponsor's approved duration are a common reason visa issuance gets delayed at the consulate.
Negotiate a training plan that satisfies DOL objectives
DOL guidelines require J-1 training plans to emphasize skill transfer, not production work. Frame your role around growth marketing methodology, analytics tools, and U.S. market exposure rather than pure campaign execution to keep your DS-7002 compliant.

Find Growth Marketing Manager JobsGrowth Marketing Manager J-1 Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Which J-1 program category fits a Growth Marketing Manager role?
It depends on where you are in your career. Current students or recent graduates within 12 months of graduation typically enter under the J-1 Intern category. Professionals with a degree and at least one year of relevant work experience qualify for the J-1 Trainee category. Trainee is the more common path for marketing professionals taking on a substantive managerial role at a U.S. host employer.
Who is actually sponsoring my J-1 visa, the employer or someone else?
The J-1 visa sponsor is a U.S. Department of State-designated organization, such as Cultural Vistas, CIEE, or AIPT, not your employer. The employer is the host organization that provides your training placement. The designated sponsor issues your DS-2019, approves your training plan, and monitors program compliance. Your employer cannot issue a DS-2019 directly unless it holds its own State Department designation.
How do I find Growth Marketing Manager host employers open to J-1 exchange visitors?
Most general job boards don't filter by visa pathway, which means you spend time applying to companies that have never hosted a J-1 exchange visitor. Use Migrate Mate to identify U.S. employers where J-1-compatible Growth Marketing Manager roles are actively listed, so you can focus outreach on companies already familiar with the host employer process and DS-7002 requirements.
Can a Growth Marketing Manager role qualify under J-1 if the work is partly remote?
Remote or hybrid arrangements create complications because J-1 training plans are tied to a specific host employer worksite address, which must be reported to your designated sponsor. If the role shifts substantially remote after your DS-2019 is issued, you're required to notify your sponsor. Sponsors vary in how they handle hybrid placements, so confirm the policy before your offer is finalized.
Does the J-1 Trainee category have a time limit for Growth Marketing roles?
J-1 Trainee programs are capped at 18 months for most fields, including marketing and business. Extensions beyond that cap are not permitted under the Trainee category. If your host employer wants to retain you after your program ends, you'd need to transition to a different immigration status, such as H-1B, which requires employer sponsorship and is subject to an annual lottery.
