Creative Strategist

Full-Time | Los Angeles / Orange County | Hybrid Travel

Klar is a nootropics-first energy and hydration brand built for people who care about focus, wellness, and doing better work without the crash. We’re a small, fast-moving team with strong retail momentum and a growing digital presence, and we’re looking for someone to join us in a creative strategy role as we scale.

This role is designed for someone who wants to be inside a startup environment and learn what it actually takes to build a brand and business from the ground floor. You’ll work closely with the founder and team, help bring Klar’s creative vision to life, and be an active presence both online and in real-world brand moments.

The role

You’ll manage Klar’s social media and creative execution while collaborating on broader brand and growth strategy. This includes translating direction into content, showing up consistently on social, being present at events and activations, helping build community, and supporting the day-to-day work of scaling a consumer brand.

This is a hybrid role based in Los Angeles / Orange County, with in-person collaboration, events, and some travel built into the job.

What you’ll do

• Manage day-to-day social media execution across platforms like TikTok and Instagram
• Collaborate closely with the founder on creative direction, campaign planning, and content calendars
• Create, shoot, and edit short-form content that feels natural, thoughtful, and culturally relevant
• Be on the ground at Klar events, pop-ups, retail activations, and brand moments across LA and OC
• Help build and engage Klar’s community through comments, DMs, events, and creator relationships
• Participate in weekly team meetings and gain exposure to multiple facets of the business
• Support sales and outreach efforts through content, relationships, and brand presence
• Identify creators, partners, and community leaders aligned with Klar’s values
• Monitor performance, share insights, and help iterate on creative and community strategy

Who you are

• You’re excited by startups and want hands-on exposure to how a brand is built from the ground up
• You care deeply about wellness, focus, and performance and live it day to day
• You actively create content and have an established or growing presence on social media
• You’re comfortable being on camera and understand how personal presence drives connection
• You understand how audiences engage with people, not just logos
• You have a strong point of view on content and aren’t afraid to put it out into the world
• You collaborate well, take feedback seriously, and iterate quickly
• You like being in the room, at the event, and part of the process

Why this role matters

This role sits at the intersection of content, community, and growth. You’ll help turn creative ideas into execution, execution into connection, and connection into long-term brand momentum, while gaining real experience across both the creative and business sides of a fast-growing startup.

About Klar

Klar is a nootropics-powered energy and hydration brand designed for sustained focus without the crash. Our stick packs combine natural caffeine, electrolytes, and brain-supporting ingredients with zero sugar and no sucralose. We’re small, scrappy, and growing quickly across Southern California and beyond.

A note from the founder

I started Klar out of a real need. I wanted clean energy that actually worked with my brain, not against it. After years of building in creative, marketing, and wellness spaces, Klar became a way to combine all of that into something tangible.

We’re still early, but we’re past the idea stage. Klar is on shelves, in people’s routines, and growing quickly. This next chapter is about building the brand with intention and momentum, and I’m looking for someone who wants to be close to that process.

This role is for someone excited by the startup environment, who wants to learn every part of building a consumer brand from the ground up, and who genuinely enjoys showing up, creating, and connecting with people. You’ll be in the room, at the events, part of the conversations, and helping shape how Klar grows in the real world and online.

If you’re looking for a role where your ideas matter, your presence matters, and the work actually moves the brand forward, this is going to be a fun and meaningful place to be.
