You Bring:

• 1–3 years of experience developing and optimizing ad creative for paid social (Meta, TikTok, etc.), ideally in eCommerce.
• Proven track record of producing or directing creative that drives measurable results.
• Strong grasp of ad creative fundamentals — copy, framing, hooks, pacing, and structure.
• Comfort working with and providing feedback to UGC creators, editors, and designers.
• Analytical mindset — able to translate data into actionable creative direction.
• Excellent communication, organization, and time management skills.
