HIRING: Head of Growth (Paid Social) & Creative Strategy
Two roles at ballpoint we're hiring for
We’re hiring for two roles at Ballpoint currently and you might like to apply.
A quick reminder of what we’re doing.
Today, we’re a creative growth agency working with 20 of the most exciting growth stage brands in the UK and US.
For brands we work with for more than a year, we typically triple spend year over year. And that holds into years two and three.
Our 12 month client retention is way way way above industry average, and we have over 88% 12→24 month client retention.
Why?
The team of people we have are the very best, most creative, brightest minds I’ve ever worked with in growth. The calibre of conversation we have is second to none. That turns our process into an engine, and our learnings into performance.
We’re office-based too, which means that we collaborate and communicate quickly, creatively, and unencumbered by needing screens.
But what about tomorrow?
All readers will know we have been AI native since February.
For us we come back to a few simple principles:
If we were to launch a business today with the vision of helping brands grow aggressively, what would it look like?
How can we create output that far outperforms anything we ever could have done just as humans?
Those are the two guiding principles to our future, and the way that’s manifesting is through a series of AI agents, software, and systems we’re building now.
As such, these roles have two gears.
Gear one is: how do we help grow our exceptional clients of today.
Gear two is: how do we all build the future of growth for tomorrow.
And both of these roles have both of these as job spec requirements.
Who will do well here: head of growth
Our job offer rates are lower than Goldman Sachs or Harvard. That is to say, we are only hiring the very, very best.
Here are a few prerequisites we have:
In-house consumer experience at a brand or startup
Deep paid social experience
Insanely strong communicator
Highly organised, we are super lean and agile
A few weeks ago, Sophie, our head of growth strategy wrote Good growth strategist, bad growth strategist – which should give you a further steer.

Who will do well here: creative strategist
Creative strategy is this new field for what we do. We’ve found there’s a few characteristics that really stand out.
Here are a few prerequisites we have:
You care about performance. Brand strategists need not apply
You like copy that sells. This is vital. If it doesn’t sell, it’s not an ad
Highly organised and fast worker, we are super lean and agile
If this is you, apply via here – or drop me an email with your LinkedIn.

I’m biased, naturally. But I think what we’re building has the potential to be the future of what growth looks like. Not just in agencies but across the industry.
We’d love you to be a part of it.
