## About the role

This is a hands-on, player-coach leadership role, not a strategy-only position.

- Demonstrated experience leading and developing creative teams while remaining hands-on in creative execution
- Deep understanding of paid-social and performance creative across platforms such as Meta, TikTok, and Pinterest
- A strong portfolio of performance creative with demonstrated results and the ability to explain the insight, hypothesis, execution, performance, and iteration behind the work
- Hands-on experience with concepts, hooks, scripts, short-form video, UGC, static creative, creator-led campaigns, and performance-driven iteration
- Strong creative judgment combined with fluency in performance data and creative testing
