• Creative Decay Strategy: Analyze Meta Ads performance metrics (CPL, CTR, CPM, Conversion Rate) to replace decaying creatives before performance drops.
• Team Leadership: Lead a remote team of Creative Strategists, AI Video Producers, and freelancers with strict production velocity.
• Systematized Scaling: Scale winning video concepts across thousands of client accounts.

Must-Have Qualifications

• 8+ years in performance marketing, direct-response advertising, or creative strategy.
• 5+ years managing creative, paid social, or marketing operations teams.

• Compensation: $4,000 – $5,000 USD / month base + performance bonuses tied to CPL and lead targets.
• 100% Remote flexibility.
• Reporting directly to Executive Leadership.
