We’re looking for someone who has strong design fundamentals but also understands how creative performs in a fast-moving, direct-to-consumer environment. You should be equally comfortable developing a polished campaign concept, creating and iterating paid social ads, editing short-form video, and designing high-converting e-commerce experiences. This is a highly executional role with significant creative ownership.

• Collaborate with copywriters, marketers, creators, photographers, and other creative partners

Paid & Performance Creative

• Design high-performing creative across Meta, Google, AppLovin, X, Criteo, and emerging paid channels


• Develop new creative concepts and variations on a weekly cadence based on performance data, customer insights, competitive trends, and testing opportunities


• Work closely with Growth and Performance Marketing to understand what is working and quickly translate those learnings into new creative


• Create and adapt static, video, UGC, motion, and mixed-format assets for different platforms and audiences


• Build creative systems that enable faster testing without sacrificing quality


• Balance strong brand storytelling with direct-response principles and conversion goals

Video & Motion

• Edit short-form paid and organic video using tools such as Premiere Pro and CapCut


• Create motion graphics and animated assets using Adobe After Effects


• Turn static concepts into engaging video and motion executions


• Edit creator and UGC footage into compelling performance creative


• Understand platform-native pacing, hooks, formats, and storytelling for paid social

E-commerce & Conversion Design

• Support design across Happy Head’s Shopify experiences, landing pages, collection pages, product detail pages, and promotional experiences


• Partner with Product, Growth, and E-commerce teams to improve customer experience and conversion


• Design merchandising updates, promotional modules, bundles, and launch experiences


• Help create a strong connection between paid creative and the on-site experience, particularly for OTC products


• Use performance and conversion insights to improve design over time


• Contribute to wireframes, page concepts, and visual design for new e-commerce experiences

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of professional design experience, ideally within a consumer, DTC, beauty, wellness, healthcare, or high-growth brand


• Strong portfolio demonstrating excellent visual design across brand, digital, paid social, and e-commerce


• Experience creating performance marketing creative and iterating based on results


• Strong understanding of typography, layout, hierarchy, composition, and visual storytelling


• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, including Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, and After Effects


• Strong working knowledge of Figma

• Ability to work quickly and manage multiple projects without sacrificing attention to detail


• Comfortable receiving feedback, iterating quickly, and working in a highly collaborative environment

• Experience with photography or directing photo/video shoots


• Experience building modular creative systems for high-volume paid media testing

Who You Are

You’re a strong designer who wants more ownership and is ready to grow into broader art direction. You have high standards for craft, but you’re not precious about your work. You like moving quickly, testing ideas, learning from performance, and making the next version better.

You can take a brief and run with it, but you also know when to collaborate and ask questions. You’re equally energized by a beautiful campaign and an ad variation that materially improves conversion.

Most importantly, you’re excited to help build a fast-growing consumer health brand and create work that is both visually strong and commercially effective.
