Working closely with strategists and growth teams, you’ll turn raw assets and concepts into effective creative at scale.

- Produce multiple static variations for testing, including different headlines, layouts, messaging, and offers.
- Work closely with strategists and growth teams to execute creative concepts and respond quickly to performance feedback.
- Source, organize, and manage creative assets such as UGC, stock footage, hooks, B-roll, and other campaign materials.
- Maintain a high-volume creative workflow while prioritizing effectiveness, consistency, and timely delivery.
Requirements:
- 2+ years of experience editing direct-response video ads for direct-to-consumer brands.

- Familiarity with Creative OS, Foreplay, Butter, AdCreative.ai, or similar creative platforms is a plus.
- Understanding of marketing funnels, offers, and paid social strategy is a plus.
