What We Are Looking ForWe're hiring a Performance Creative Designer to own the creative output of our paid media engine. This isn't a brand design role - it's a performance role. You'll be responsible for producing the ads that drive new customer acquisition across Meta, TikTok, Pinterest, Google, Display, and CTV, and you'll be doing it with a sharp understanding of what works and why.
You'll work in close partnership with our paid media team, who will lead the data and brief side, while you bring the visual direction and production. Together you'll run a fast, iterative creative loop built on real performance signals. You'll also collaborate with our internal Brand and Creative teams to make sure everything that goes into market is on-brand and product-accurate.
This is a role for someone who has made performance ads and who understands the difference between creative that earns attention and creative that drives conversion.
