  • Stay ahead of emerging tools and implement them strategically

Team Collaboration & Leadership

  • Present creative strategies and performance insights to clients and stakeholders

  • 3–5 years in creative strategy, performance marketing, or media buying for DTC/ecommerce brands
  • Proven ability to guide creative across paid media, email, landing pages, and full-funnel campaigns
  • Portfolio demonstrating winning ads across static and video formats
  • 12+ months hands-on experience using AI tools for creative concepting, copywriting, and asset production
  • Track record of measurable ROAS improvements through creative work
  • Deep familiarity with Meta Ads Manager, TikTok Ads, and other paid social platforms
