Job Summary

Own end-to-end ad creative performance, from briefs to testing and optimization, across Meta, TikTok, and YouTube Demand Gen; lead shoots, manage creators, and maintain learnings with a data-driven, fast-cycle approach.

  • Own creative performance from briefing to optimization
  • Lead weekly tests, track outcomes, and document learnings
  • Manage shoots and external partners to meet briefs and timelines

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Turn creative performance data into clear insights, recommendations, and testing opportunities.
  • Create ad creative for both video and static formats across Meta, TikTok, and YouTube Demand Gen.
  • Write conversion-focused copy, not AI-generated filler.
  • Build a clear hypothesis for every asset you brief.
  • Produce tight creative briefs with shot lists, hooks, and references for editors and creators.
  • Work with the internal team to run weekly tests, track outcomes, and document learnings.
  • Maintain a swipe and competitor board; adapt winning formats to Years' proposition.
  • Stay ahead of platform trends, hooks and formats, proactively bringing new ideas into the testing roadmap rather than only reacting to what's already working.
  • Maintain dashboards and simple reports that give the team visibility on creative status and pipeline.
  • Manage external creators/agencies where needed; hold them to performance targets.

Requirements

  • 2+ years owning ad creative performance in creative strategy, end to end
  • A track record of producing briefs and scripts that cut CPA in D2C
  • Strong grasp of data, with the ability to turn creative insights into decisions fast
  • No message is a dead end; you'll always find a way to reshape it into new ad ideas across formats, personas, awareness stages, and shoots
  • A natural storyteller who knows how to hook attention fast and build a narrative that moves people to act
  • Strong copywriting skills; you write in a distinct, persuasive voice, not generic or AI-slop
  • Experience producing content natively for Meta, TikTok, and YouTube Demand Gen, not just repurposing one asset across all three
  • Highly organised; able to plan and run multiple shoots, creators, and edits without losing quality or speed
  • Clear communicator with crisp written feedback and a bias to ship and learn; comfortable partnering across the business
  • Not precious about your ideas: most tests won't win, and you iterate fast, learning from what didn't work rather than defending it

Preferred

  • experience in the pet category or subscription growth
  • familiarity with creative analytics/tagging tools
  • hands-on Facebook advertising experience
