Job Summary

Own the end-to-end creative direction across design, copy, and video for performance campaigns, driving original ideas, cross-functional briefs, external partnerships, and AI-enabled workflows to balance brand voice with measurable KPIs.

  • Lead multi-disciplinary creative work across channels to meet performance goals
  • Collaborate with brand, channel managers, and external partners to shape briefs and ensure consistency

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Give effective creative direction and feedback across three distinct disciplines — design, copywriting, and video editing — ensuring copy, visuals, and video work cohesively together, and catching mismatches in tone, pacing, or message before final delivery
  • Concept original creative ideas and campaigns, not just execute against existing briefs — bringing fresh thinking rooted in cultural and social trends
  • Partner cross-functionally with Channel Managers, Creative Strategists, and brand teams — helping shape sharper, more actionable briefs, understanding what creative is winning and why, and ensuring DR creative stays true to brand voice and identity while still driving KPIs
  • Collaborate with external agency and freelance partners — briefing them clearly, giving timely creative direction and feedback on their work, and holding it to the same bar as in-house output
  • Guide creative approach across the full range of performance channels — paid social, organic/owned, CTV, print
  • Set a quality bar rooted in brand consistency and performance, not perfection — helping the team know when something's ready to ship versus when it needs another pass, given the speed and volume DR/growth work demands.
  • Champion AI-assisted workflows: identify where generative AI tools can speed up ideation, scripting, storyboarding, rough-cut editing, and asset variation, and coach the team on effective prompting and tool use

Requirements

  • 8-10+ years in performance creative, including experience leading, mentoring, or managing designers, copywriters, and/or video editors (player-coach experience preferred)
  • Strong concepting and ideation skills in addition to design execution — proven ability to originate creative territories, not just produce against a given brief
  • Multi-disciplinary fluency: working knowledge of short-form video editing (hooks, pacing, UGC-style production) and copywriting fundamentals (hooks, CTAs, tone) — enough to give sharp, credible feedback outside your core craft
  • Deep fluency in cultural and social trends, and a track record of translating them into performance creative
  • Experience balancing brand guidelines with performance requirements, partnering cross-functionally with brand/marketing teams
  • Experience managing or directing external agency, freelance, or vendor creative partners
  • Experience across print, in addition to Meta, TikTok, YouTube, Mobile, and Google
  • Experience directing or being on set for lightweight, fast-turn UGC-style production shoots — not mandatory, but a plus.
  • AI-native fluency: hands-on comfort prompting and directing AI tools (e.g., generative image/video, AI-assisted editing, script or copy drafting) to support ideation and production, with the judgment to know where AI speeds things up and where it doesn't — not mandatory, but a strong plus.
