About the job

About the Role

As our Performance Creative Program expands, we're looking for an experienced Associate Creative Director to guide a team of designers, copywriters, and video editors in producing original creative based on insights, learnings, and strategic briefs. You'll operate as a player-coach — designing best-in-class creative yourself while mentoring and guiding the team. You’ll work closely with the Growth Producer, Creative Strategists, and Channel Managers to produce DR-minded content at scale across performance channels, and to drive performance improvements.

Responsibilities

  • Give effective creative direction and feedback across design, copywriting, and video editing.
  • Concept original creative ideas and campaigns, not just execute against existing briefs.
  • Partner cross-functionally with Channel Managers, Creative Strategists, and brand teams.
  • Collaborate with external agency and freelance partners.
  • Guide creative approach across paid social, organic/owned, CTV, and print.
  • Set a quality bar rooted in brand consistency and performance.
  • Champion AI-assisted workflows: identify where generative AI tools can speed up ideation, scripting, storyboarding, rough-cut editing, and asset variation, and coach the team on effective prompting and tool use.

Qualifications

  • 8-10+ years in performance creative, including experience leading, mentoring, or managing designers, copywriters, and/or video editors (player-coach experience preferred).
  • Strong concepting and ideation skills in addition to design execution.
  • Multi-disciplinary fluency: working knowledge of short-form video editing and copywriting fundamentals.
  • Deep fluency in cultural and social trends.
  • Experience balancing brand guidelines with performance requirements.
  • Experience managing or directing external agency, freelance, or vendor creative partners.
  • Experience across print, in addition to Meta, TikTok, YouTube, Mobile, and Google.
  • AI-native fluency: hands-on comfort prompting and directing AI tools (e.g., generative image/video, AI-assisted editing, script or copy drafting) — not mandatory, but a strong plus.

Compensation & Benefits

Base salary: $145,000—$200,000 USD. Full-time employees may also be eligible for bonus(es), competitive equity, and benefits. Benefits include backup child, elder, and pet care, subsidized commuter benefits, comprehensive health, financial, and wellbeing benefits, generous vacation policy and company-wide paid days off, 1% of your time off to support local community organizations, annual wellness stipend, up to 22 weeks of paid parental leave for birthing parents and 12 weeks for non-birthing parents, and access to family planning reimbursement.

Work Policy

In-office work policy: four days a week in the office and Fridays from home for those near one of our offices, plus team and company-wide events depending on location. Fully remote program also available.
