AI Creative Lead (Contractor)

Wonderly

2d • $70,000 - $100,000 • Remote

About The Position

Wonderly is seeking a highly-skilled and performance-oriented AI Creative Lead to join their creative team. This role reports directly to the Creative Director and is a full-time position based remotely. The team operates in US hours, but this hire can be located globally. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in creative briefing and strategy, AI video prompting and generation, and editing direct response creatives for paid social platforms such as Meta, TikTok, and YouTube, with a proven ability to produce high-volume, conversion-focused video content efficiently. The role requires experience with AI-enhanced workflows to accelerate production cycles, improve creative quality, and reduce revision loops. Most of the utilized footage will be generated from AI rather than from UGC creators. As an experienced “fullstack” AI video creator, you will collaborate closely with a small, high-agency team of growth marketers and in-house creators to ensure the delivery of assets that drive conversion. This position offers an exciting opportunity to be at the forefront of AI-driven creative production in a fast-paced, high-growth startup environment. If you’re obsessed with hooks, pacing, and platform-specific storytelling—and you can move quickly without losing taste—you’ll thrive here.

Requirements

• Minimum of 4 years of proven experience editing direct response performance creatives for paid social media platforms (Meta, TikTok, YouTube, etc.)
• Strong understanding of conversion-focused storytelling, prompting, and editing techniques including hooks, pacing, storytelling, and call-to-action structures
• Demonstrated ability to produce high-volume creative output in a fast-paced, test-and-learn environment
• Hands-on experience utilizing AI video generation (eg Remotion) and enhancement tools within production workflows
• Proficiency with core editing software such as CapCut, Adobe Premiere Pro, or equivalent
• Proficiency with AI and technical tools such as Higgsfield, Google V3/Gemini workflows, Sora, Kling, or similar AI platforms
• Working knowledge of creative design tools like Canva, Photoshop, or Figma
• Ability to interpret creative briefs and execute with minimal revisions and oversight
• Strong communication skills and comfort participating in real-time feedback sessions
• Experience managing multiple creative experiments simultaneously while maintaining speed and quality
• Understanding of AI-assisted editing techniques, including both overt AI creative and realistic AI integrations
• A portfolio showcasing direct response and AI-enhanced video work

Nice To Haves

• Proficiency is Adobe Premiere Pro is cool but CapCut or something lightweight should be your primary NLE
• You’re comfortable getting direct creative feedback and iterating quickly.
• You love studying what works on TikTok/Reels/Shorts and can explain why a clip hits.
• You’re proactive: if a hook isn’t working, you suggest alternatives.

Responsibilities

• Produce high-quality paid social performance creatives optimized for conversions and engagement end-to-end
• Deliver a high volume of creative assets with minimal revision cycles; there is opportunity to build a team but you need to prove yourself as a strong creator first
• Integrate AI tools into the production workflow to accelerate output and enhance creative quality
• Create both AI-forward and AI-assisted realistic video content, continuously testing new workflows for performance improvements
• Collaborate closely with Creative Director to create and refine briefs and team processes
• Think about how we can stay at the forefront of AI creative ads
