In this role, you'll lead a multidisciplinary team of copywriters, art directors, motion designers, and graphic designers, transforming creative briefs, audience insights, and performance data into high-volume, conversion-focused campaigns.

You'll serve as the bridge between creative strategy, media buying, and execution—setting the creative vision, maintaining high creative standards, and ensuring every concept is designed to engage audiences and deliver measurable business results.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and manage a multidisciplinary creative team, including copywriters, art directors, motion designers, and designers.
• Translate client objectives, creative briefs, and audience insights into compelling creative directions and campaign concepts.
• Develop and own the creative testing roadmap, covering angles, hooks, formats, and variations across Meta, TikTok, and other paid social platforms.
• Review, approve, and provide actionable feedback on all creative assets to ensure quality, brand consistency, and performance standards.
• Collaborate closely with media buyers to analyze campaign performance, identify winning creative patterns, and translate insights into new concepts.
• Present creative concepts, campaign strategies, and performance results to clients and internal stakeholders.
• Establish and optimize creative processes, briefing templates, and workflows to support high-volume production and tight deadlines.
• Mentor and develop team members, fostering creativity, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

Qualifications & Requirements

• 10+ years of experience in creative roles, with at least 2 years in a creative leadership or management position overseeing multidisciplinary teams.
• Extensive experience developing performance-driven and paid social creatives for DTC, eCommerce, and/or SaaS brands.
• Proven track record of producing creative campaigns that deliver measurable results, such as lower Cost Per Acquisition (CPA), higher Return on Ad Spend (ROAS), and increased advertising spend.
• Strong conceptual thinking and storytelling abilities across static graphics, video, motion graphics, and UGC-style content.
• In-depth understanding of paid social platform best practices and creative testing frameworks.
• Ability to interpret performance metrics, including CTR, hook rate, CPA, and ROAS, and translate data into actionable creative decisions.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, with experience presenting creative strategies and results to clients.
• A strong portfolio showcasing creative work you've directed, along with the measurable results it achieved.

Nice to Have

• Previous experience working in a creative or digital marketing agency.
• Hands-on skills in graphic design, copywriting, or creative production.
• Familiarity with Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, and advertising performance reporting platforms.

What Success Looks Like

• Consistently delivering high-quality, conversion-focused creative assets at scale.
• Building a strong creative team with clear processes, ownership, and accountability.
• Developing effective creative testing strategies that generate actionable performance insights.
• Turning campaign data into winning creative concepts that improve advertising efficiency and business results.
