Responsibilities

Own briefing and creative direction for key Whatnot categories from concept through final handoff, partnering with editors, designers, category marketers, and creator teams to ship work that drives conversion and engagement.
Build a steady pipeline of relevant, high-performing creative across categories, with a clear test-and-learn cycle behind every concept.
Write and develop direct response TV creative as we grow into the format, including scripts and concepts.
Turn performance data and testing results into sharper creative strategy by identifying what’s working, what isn’t, and what we should try next.
Share clear category lookbacks with stakeholders so teams can quickly understand creative performance, make better decisions, and improve future campaigns.
Stay ahead of trends, emerging platforms, and paid social/DRTV/general digital best practices so the work we ship feels native to the feed and connected to culture.
Give clear, specific feedback to editors, designers, and external partners so the work gets better without creating unnecessary process or bottlenecks.
Write the copy that anchors the work: hooks, scripts, on-screen text, static copy, and end cards across video and static formats.
