Job description

Build, Scale & Operate Leading DTC Brands alongside A-Players

Maneuver Marketing

Our Vision, Mission & Success are fuelled by our commitment to be a driving force of positive change to the health of everyday consumers, providing conscious, high-quality & innovative supplement products.

In just 5 years, we kicked off our own DTC Health & Wellness brand from scratch and scaled it to USD$100M+ in annual sales, serving more than 3,000,000 customers worldwide with an average of 4,000 daily orders across 9 SKUs.

These results caught the attention of The Financial Times, as they ranked us among APACs top High-Growth Companies. We have also been awarded 2nd place on the E50 Awards, jointly organised by The Business Times and KPMG in Singapore.

This is just the beginning of our journey, and you could be part of the next stage of our growth!

Your Next Role

In this role, you’ll own the full spectrum of creative strategy, visual/content ideation and asset production SOPs. You’ll lead the charge in collaborating and managing paid and organic research playbooks as we expand into new channels and/or markets. Most importantly, you’ll inspire the team, refine creative frameworks, and establish repeatable processes that allow high-quality design to scale without compromise.

If you’ve built in-house performance creative teams for DTC wellness brands (hired, onboarded, managed, directed) and now want to do it your way with clear guardrails, we’d love to chat.

Research & Creative Strategy

• Build extensive visual research libraries around the market, product and competitors (collect sentiment data, organic content scrapes, ad libraries etc) across different brands and SKUS

• Map out customer journey flows for all brands and SKUs (ads, emails, SMS pop-ups, store, upsells, LPs, listicles, quizzes, amazon page etc)

• Increase creative diversity for all brands and SKUs through new ideation frameworks (profiles/audiences, concepts, formats, styles, delivery mediums)

Team Performance, Management & Growth

• Manage & conduct regular performance reviews with creative strategists and designers, including weekly/ bi weekly 1:1s, quarterly review, providing feedback on improving KPIs (sales volume, efficiency)

• Scope, hire, onboard and manage high agency, performance-oriented designers, creative strategists (including both in-house and with external creative agencies)

• Provide regular performance updates to key stakeholders (e.g. Head of Departments) on initiatives and team progress

Workflows, Asset Management & Implementation

• Document, design and optimize creative SOPs, templates (static ad production, listicles, landing pages, quizzes, videos and contribute insights on tests/ results)

• Work with cross-functional teams for creative pipeline integration (retail, emails, amazon, youtube etc)

• Push for innovation in testing and implementing new asset generation tools (E.g. Sora, Midjourney, Runway)

• Oversee creative quality checks, final exports, and delivery. Balance speed and volume with accuracy. Look for opportunities to automate or improve quality of production process

Brand & SKU Launch Directives

• Lead visual assets for brand, packaging, and go-to-market kits for new ventures and/or SKUs

• Collaborate with Legal teams to ensure creatives meets compliance standards

• Collaborate heavily on AGI innovation across campaigns (heavy AGI asset generation testing, tech/in house tool collabs, ideation/combination)
