Are you a hands-on individual with a passion for transforming insights into impactful digital experiences? We are seeking a dynamic professional to significantly accelerate creative output for paid social channels. This pivotal role offers the exciting opportunity to sit at the intersection of creative strategy, rapid AI production, and performance execution. You will be instrumental in transforming performance insights into high-converting direct-response social ads, directly impacting the success and growth of critical campaigns. Your contributions will drive innovation in how we connect with audiences, ensuring messaging is both compelling and compliant within a regulated industry.


What You Will Do

• Lead Creative Strategy & Briefing: Develop comprehensive ad briefs, script concepts, and creative angles grounded in paid social direct-response best practices.
• Format & Concept Adaptation: Concept and brief top-performing social ad formats, including native social video, problem-solution angles, and static variants, tailored across various platform placements (Feed, Reels, Stories).
• Performance Analysis: Review creative performance data using analytics platforms to evaluate creative trends, traffic quality, and engagement, informing the design of next-round test iterations.
• Generate Static & Copy Assets: Utilize generative AI tools (such as Claude, Creatify, ChatGPT, Gemini, Weavy AI) to write compelling direct-response ad copy, headlines, and build static image assets.
• Prompt Iteration & QA: Master prompt iteration techniques to rapidly generate copy and visual variations while maintaining high standards for quality, accuracy, and alignment with creative briefs.
• Editor Collaboration: Draft detailed video scripts and creative briefs, collaborating with a dedicated Video Editor for final video production.
• End-to-End Asset Traffic: Drive creative assets from initial brief through AI compliance pre-screening, formal compliance review, and final upload into advertising platforms.
• First-Line Compliance QA: Conduct initial reviews of draft copy and assets through internal AI compliance systems for preliminary edits before submitting for formal compliance tickets.
• Maintain SOPs & Asset Hygiene: Ensure production standard operating procedures (SOPs), version controls, naming conventions, and prompt libraries are meticulously documented and organized.

This role focuses intensely on creative strategy, asset generation, and production workflow. You will contribute to the success of high-volume, fast-moving campaigns, operating on a 2-week creative testing cadence and producing approximately 50+ new variants per week across multiple regulated verticals. You will work closely with performance marketing specialists, a Video Editor, and the compliance team, allowing you to concentrate on your core strengths while collaborating with specialized teams for compliance decisions, media buying, campaign budget optimization, and final video asset editing.
