Key Responsibilities - Strategy & Research - Develop creative strategies aligned with client growth goals across the full funnel (awareness, consideration, conversion, retention) - Conduct customer research — review mining, support tickets, sales calls, surveys — to surface insights that drive new angles, hooks, and value propositions - Run regular creative teardowns of competitors and category leaders; maintain a swipe file and inspiration library - Build messaging frameworks grounded in established models (e.g., Jobs-to-be-Done, Eugene Schwartz awareness levels, value-equation thinking) - Creative Production & Briefing - Write creative briefs that include hypothesis, audience, channel, format spec, and KPI — not just creative direction - Develop ad concepts across formats (static, video, UGC, talking head, mixed media) for paid social and adjacent channels - Brief and direct UGC creators, editors, designers, and freelance production partners - Maintain a consistent creative output cadence and a healthy pipeline of concepts in market - Performance & Iteration - Own a hypothesis-driven creative testing roadmap with clear variables (hook, angle, format, offer) and pre-defined success metrics - Analyze creative performance in tools like Motion, Atria, Triple Whale, Meta Ads Manager, or equivalent and translate findings into the next round of concepts - Partner with paid media to diagnose creative fatigue, scale winners, and retire losers based on thresholds for CPA, ROAS, hook rate, hold rate, and thumb-stop rate - Lead post-launch analyses and retros that turn results into shareable learnings across the team - Collaboration - Participate in client meetings and present strategic recommendations clearly and professionally - Collaborate across internal teams (paid media, account, design) and external partners - Stay current on marketing trends, AI tools, consumer behavior, and emerging digital platforms Qualifications - MUST have 4+ years specifically in performance/direct-response creative for paid social in DTC, B2B SaaS, or agency contexts - MUST have a portfolio with at least 3 case studies showing: starting hypothesis → creative concept → result → learning. No portfolio, no interview. - MUST have strong English communication skills. - Demonstrated quantitative literacy: comfort reading dashboards, calculating lift, understanding statistical significance basics, and clear command of CTR, CVR, CPA, ROAS, hook rate, hold rate, and contribution margin - Strong writing chops in short-form ad copy, hooks, and scripts (15s / 30s / 60s) - Excellent verbal and written English; comfortable presenting to clients in professional settings - Strong understanding of customer psychology and at least one consumer behavior framework (e.g., JTBD, Schwartz awareness levels) - Hands-on experience with AI creative and production tools — e.g., Midjourney, Runway, ChatGPT/Claude, ElevenLabs, CapCut, Descript, Figma - Experience briefing and directing video creative (UGC, talking head, mixed media), not solo production only - Strong organizational and project management skills with a high level of accountability and responsiveness - Minimum 3–4 hours of daily overlap with US Eastern Time Preferred Qualifications - Experience working with remote international teams - Experience in growth-stage companies or agencies - Familiarity with creative analytics platforms (Motion, Atria, Triple Whale) and ad platforms (Meta Ads Manager, TikTok Ads Manager, Google Ads) - Background managing or mentoring junior creatives, freelancers, or production teams Work Environment - Fully remote global team - Asynchronous-first work environment with regular synchronous collaboration - Collaborative and fast-moving environment - Results-oriented culture focused on innovation, execution, and continuous improvement - Regular communication through virtual meetings, messaging platforms, and collaborative project tools Compensation & Benefits - Compensation: $6,000 – $40,000 USD per year (depending on experience, expertise, and scope of work) - 12 paid holidays annually - 18 days of paid time off (PTO) annually
