Marketplace Operations Inc.; Wilmington (DE); Remote; USD 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

Marketplace Operations Inc. is hiring an AI Creative Lead (Remote) to own the generative stack for paid social and native ads, turning scripts and storyboards into editor-ready video and stills.

You will balance creative direction with hands-on AI work, ensuring the output stays on-brand, persuasive, and suitable for social feeds. Reporting to the Head of Creative Production, you’ll manage model selection, asset orchestration, and compliance with regulated category rules, while building reusable

Qualifications

• 4+ years in creative production, with 1–2 years hands-on in generative AI video and image production for real deliverables.

Responsibilities

• Own generation end-to-end for paid social and native creative: character-locked stills, AI video, lip-sync, and clean generated voiceover, from approved script and storyboard to editor-ready footage.
• Lock base characters first, then build a still per beat that references them, holding character, wardrobe, prop, and continuity across an entire spot.
• Pick the right model for each job and keep live view of a fast-moving tool stack, pinning exact model versions at build time.
• Scout, test, and onboard new models and tools as the stack evolves, retiring ones that fall behind.
• Get renders through platform and category filters. Diagnose and auto-fix a broken render once, then upscale, and keep a running swipe of safe phrasings and prompt patterns.
• Operate and lightly orchestrate the tooling to fan out and move assets so many jobs run in parallel.
• Own the generative-side handoff into post: deliver organized, tagged, editor-ready clips into the DAM.
• Feed the shared learnings file and read it back at the next job's start to avoid repeating mistakes.
• Partner with Creative Directors and copywriters to keep generated output on-voice and beat-for-beat to the script (AV sync).
• Bring a direct-response creative eye to pushes toward hook, pacing, proof, and the offer.
• Operate inside compliance rails for regulated categories and disclosures.
• Manage generative tooling spend and provide a monthly cost model as volume scales.
• Build reusable assets (prompt libraries, character references, templates) to self-serve routine work.
