Work/Project Scope

  • Architect and implement AI-powered creative workflows that accelerate the production of static, motion, and video assets.
  • Design the end-to-end creative system for paid acquisition, from intake to delivery across channels (e.g., Meta, TikTok, YouTube, display).
  • Integrate generative AI tools (image, video, audio, and text) into a streamlined pipeline using APIs, low/no-code platforms (e.g., n8n, Make, Zapier), and light scripting.
  • Build modular systems and templates in Figma, Adobe Creative Cloud, and motion design tools to increase iteration speed while ensuring brand consistency.
  • Establish and document human touchpoints for QA, legal, brand, and performance reviews to maintain oversight and quality standards.
  • Produce static assets (editable in Figma), motion content (animations, display), and short-form video optimized for performance marketing.
  • Translate growth hypotheses into structured creative systems (e.g., modular headlines, messaging frameworks) that support AI remixing and scalable testing.
  • Collaborate with marketing analytics to connect creative variants to performance data (CTR, CAC, ROAS, LTV), then optimize templates and processes based on insights.
  • Define and maintain asset libraries, taxonomies, and tagging schemas that support efficient versioning, discoverability, and reuse.
  • Create documentation, playbooks, and onboarding materials for cross-functional teams to effectively use and contribute to the creative system.
  • Drive continuous improvement by running structured experiments on prompts, templates, workflows, and tooling.

Must Haves (Required Skills)

  • 6–10 years of experience at the intersection of creative technology, design systems, performance marketing, and AI-powered workflows.
  • Proven ability to design and implement creative automation systems for marketing, not just use AI tools.
  • Hands-on experience with AI platforms (e.g., OpenAI, Gemini), automation tools (e.g., Zapier, n8n, Make), and scripting for tool integration.
  • Advanced proficiency with Figma (components, libraries, tokens) and Adobe Creative Cloud (especially After Effects and Premiere Pro).
  • A strong portfolio of performance-driven creative (Meta ads, display, short-form video) and a clear understanding of channel-specific creative requirements.
  • Systems thinker with strong design sensibility and attention to detailβ€”able to operationalize high standards for static, motion, and video creative.
  • Effective communicator capable of bridging the gap between creative and technical teams, translating complex workflows into user-friendly systems.
