Responsibilities

• Own paid static for Kraken Consumer across product launches, campaigns, promotions and always-on activity.
• Build for channels like Meta, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, Reddit and X. You know what wins where, and you build to each platform's specs and native feel.
• Concept and cut performance video so campaigns ship as complete cross-format sets, from 9:16 sound-on to static-adjacent 1:1 and 4:5.
• Produce AI-generated and AI-assisted video and imagery, and know when AI is the fastest route to a great ad and when it isn't.
• Bring ideas to briefs rather than executing them literally. Pitch culturally timely, internet-native concepts that nobody asked for, and build the winners into creative pillars we can keep using.
• Version and localize at scale across markets, languages, formats and regulatory requirements. In a typical month you'll have roughly a dozen workstreams in flight at once, most spanning several formats and several markets.
• Build creative that's designed to be tested. Performance Marketing owns test design, cadence and readouts. You own the creative response: reading the results, forming a point of view on why a variant won, and turning that into the next round of hooks, concepts and cuts.
• Partner with Product Marketing, compliance and regional teams to get work approved without losing the idea.
• Hold a high craft bar on your own work and keep your files clean enough for other people to build on.

Requirements

• 5+ years in performance creative at a high-volume in-house team or performance agency, ideally in fintech, crypto, gaming or another regulated category.
• A portfolio that proves it, submitted with your application. Paid static above all, with the brief or objective alongside the work and the result where you're able to share it. Include two or three full video cuts, at least one AI-generated or AI-assisted piece with a short note on what was tooling and what was you, and one concept you tested where you can talk us through what the data said and what you changed.
• Layout, hierarchy, type and composition that hold up at thumbnail size, in feed, and in multiple languages.
• Platform-native instincts across Meta, TikTok and YouTube. You can explain why the same idea needs a different build on each one.
• Real video skills, from concept to finished, sound-designed cut.
• High-level command of gen AI video and image tooling, with shipped work to show for it.
• Experience inside a structured creative testing program. You're fluent in the metrics your creative moves (thumb-stop rate, hook rate, CTR, CVR, CPA and ROAS), you can tell a real winner from low performers, and can translate test results into a creative decision.
• Fluency in internet and meme culture, with comedic timing and an instinct for what's about to feel dated.
• Speed without sloppiness. Comfortable with fast turnarounds, several review rounds and late changes.
• Comfort working inside regulatory constraints, with layouts that survive risk warnings and market-specific requirements.
