Ad Designer

What you'll do:

• Design high-performing ad creative for Meta, Instagram, and other paid social channels - statics, carousels, and short-form video assets
• Take one working ad and rapidly produce 10+ variations (copy, colour, format, hook) to keep testing and scaling what performs
• Handle basic video clipping - repurposing raw founder/event/product footage into short-form social and ad-ready clips
• Live inside Meta Ads Manager: track performance, study competitors and industry trends, and use that data to decide what to design next
• Turn around carousels and quick-test creative in hours, not days - speed is part of the job, not a nice-to-have
• Partner directly with founders and the marketing/design team on messaging, testing hypotheses, and creative direction
• Own visual execution end-to-end, concept to shipped ad, without needing a designer to be looped in on every asset
• Build a reusable system of ad templates and winning formats so output scales without reinventing each brief

Who we're looking for:

• You think like a marketer who designs, not a designer who makes ads look nice. You have a real opinion on what copy will land, what colours will work, what visual stops the scroll, and what makes a value prop instantly understandable.
• A portfolio or reel that shows live, shipped ad creative - ideally with a sense of what performed and why, not just concept work
• Strong graphic design fundamentals: layout, colour, typography, and an instinct for what gets attention on Meta/IG
• Comfort with basic video editing/clipping for short-form social and ad placements
• A bias for speed and iteration - you'd rather ship 10 variants of something that's already working today than polish one thing for a week
• Real experience close to performance advertising - you've run ad accounts yourself, or worked tightly enough with founders/marketers to understand what the data is telling you
• Ability to work quickly, communicate clearly over Slack, and overlap with US Pacific or European working hours

How to apply

• Your portfolio or reel of ad creative
• One ad you designed that performed well - and your read on why it worked
• Your typical turnaround time for a quick-turn carousel or ad variation set

What matters to us:

• You're a strong communicator and contribute positively to the team
• You take ownership and have an internal compass
• You value candid feedback and overcommunication
• You care about quality and design, while keeping things simple
• You measure your impact and look for ways to improve and automate
• You're comfortable working in a fast-moving environment and getting a little better every week
• You're customer-focused and care about the end result, not just the output
• You value fast, incremental ways of working

Perks & benefits:

• Competitive compensation
• Work remotely from anywhere in your respective country
• Flexible working hours
• Paid time off and flexible leave policy
• Ability to move laterally within the team and grow quickly
• No-boss culture
• LGBTQ+ friendly workplace
• Company offsites
• Tech reimbursements
