Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own paid creative production end-to-end
  • Produce static, motion, and video ad formats across key paid marketing channels such as Meta, TikTok, Pinterest, and CTV
  • Manage creative from brief to final asset — fast, at volume, and without sacrificing quality
  • Maintain brand voice, product accuracy, and visual consistency across every ad that goes out the door
  • Drive the creative strategy
  • Partner with our paid media team on daily creative briefs and the feedback loop
  • Translate performance hypotheses into visual concepts using our creative framework
  • Study channel metrics and best practices together to inform what we make next
  • Maintain a competitive edge by monitoring and leveraging emerging trends
  • Collaborate to identify creative fatigue, flag underperformers, and move quickly on replacements

Requirements

  • 3–5 years in a DTC or e-commerce paid creative environment — you’ve made performance ads, not just brand ads
  • Strong static and motion design skills; video editing capability required
  • Deep understanding of paid social formats, specs, and platform behavior across Meta, TikTok, and Pinterest
  • Experience with creative testing frameworks: hook testing, format optimization, fatigue identification
  • Comfortable in a high-volume, test-and-learn environment — you ship a lot and you ship it clean
  • An evaluative relationship with AI and automation tools — genuinely interested in their potential and willing to champion them, but equally willing to question the output
  • Strong visual communication skills with an eye for what stops a scroll
  • Familiarity with performance data — you don’t need to run the analysis, but you need to read a creative report and know what to do with it

Nice to Have

  • Experience working closely with media buyers or performance marketers
  • Experience managing or directing AI execution tools

Benefits

  • Competitive salary + equity
  • Medical/Dental/Vision insurance
