  • Ability to manage multiple projects under tight deadlines with a high attention to detail.

  • Excellent visual storytelling skills demonstrating a strong grasp of direct response marketing principles.

  • A proven portfolio demonstrating your skills is required; examples of video ads, particularly for Meta or YouTube, would be highly valuable to review.

• Compensation

  • $70,000-$90,000

• Benefits

  • Robust Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance plans with a generous employer contribution towards monthly premium costs

  • Customizable 401 (k) plan with employer match after 90 days
