What you will do

• Map high-level campaign concepts into detailed, frame-by-frame storyboards for Meta and potentially other platforms.
• Run creative testing sprints by producing 10+ ad variations, testing different video openings (hooks), closing messages (CTAs), and edit speeds.
• Translate core narratives into platform-native formats (e.g., adapting a polished Meta concept into a creator-style TikTok storyboard).
• Design and animate conversion-focused graphics such as text overlays, kinetic captions, and clear price/offer animations.
• Participate in concepting sessions to pitch new visual hooks and creative angles based on trends and performance feedback.
• Maintain a reusable library of layouts, typography styles, and motion presets; update existing ads using “what’s working” data.

Requirements

• 3–5 years of experience in social-first design or an agency environment with a heavy focus on paid media/performance creative.
• Strong visual storytelling skills, including the ability to storyboard a 15-second narrative that captures attention in the first 3 seconds.
• Proficiency in Premiere and After Effects for short-form ad patterns (fast cuts, text-safe zones, rhythmic pacing).
• Conversion mindset: prioritize clarity (hierarchy, type, color) to drive clicks and sales.
• Comfort working in an iterative sprint environment where creative is tested, scaled, or stopped weekly.
• Technical precision with platform specs, aspect ratios, and UI-safe design across social channels.

• Iterative, performance-driven creative workflow with weekly testing cycles.
• Opportunity to bridge aesthetic design with hard performance data.
