The Team We’re Building
We’re opening up an Expression of Interest for the following roles:
- Creative Strategists
- Content Producers
- Videographers
- Organic Social Creative Strategists
- Social Media Managers
- Paid Media Managers
Beyond years of experience, we're looking for a specific kind of operator:
- Deep platform fluency across Paid Social — understanding how the algorithm rewards creative and how audiences behave on each platform
- Applies a strategic lens across the entire creative process — from ideation and scripting through to execution, iteration, and post-production briefing
- Delivers volume with quality — rapid ideation and testing at scale without sacrificing creative standard
- Elevates the strategic thinking of the team — teaches frameworks, gives sharp feedback, and sets a standard others can grow into
- Operates autonomously with high trust — identifies what needs to happen, makes it happen, and escalates when necessary
- Balances big-picture creativity with data — never uses performance as an excuse for mediocre creative, or creative ambition as an excuse to ignore the numbers
- Obsessed with both results and creative quality simultaneously
Requirements
- Minimum 3–5 years of experience in direct response creative, with a strong understanding of performance-driven content, audience psychology, and platform best practices
- Proven track record of conceiving and launching direct response ads that drive purchases, sign-ups, or subscriptions
- Strong command of short-form video, static design, and iterative creative testing
- Experience collaborating with a team to ensure seamless project execution and delivery
- Experience managing client relationships, timelines, and budget expectations
- Deep understanding of consumer psychology in digital environments
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with obsessive attention to detail
Benefits and Compensation
- Competitive salary aligned with experience and impact
- Performance bonus linked to the growth of client accounts under your stewardship
- Continuous professional development with dedicated budget for courses, conferences, and tooling
- Opportunity to pioneer AI-driven production methods within an ambitious, future-focused studio
- Structured path to Creative Lead for the right person — we build leaders from within
