You’ll own the end-to-end creative process—from concept to production—creating ads that not only stop the scroll but drive real results.

  • Build AI-native and human-led workflows for content creation leveraging tools for ideation, scripting, video generation, and editing.
  • Partner closely with production and post-production teams to bring concepts to life, ensuring creative excellence and efficiency across both AI-assisted and traditional productions.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Growth, Brand, and Product Marketing to align creative testing with business objectives.
  • Stay ahead of industry and platform trends, acting as a thought leader in AI-driven creativity, emerging formats, and performance storytelling.
  • 6–9 years of experience in creative strategy, advertising, social media or content marketing. Ideally both agency and in-house experience
  • Strong creative writing skills and a passion for storytelling, the creative process, and solving puzzles.
  • Proven track record of concepting, writing, and producing ads that convert.
  • Fluent in AI tools for creative production (e.g., VEO 3, Sora 2, Higgsfield, Midjourney, etc.).
  • Deep understanding of social and performance marketing channels, from TikTok and YouTube to Meta and CTV.
  • Creative and analytical in equal measure—you can identify what works and why, then scale it.
  • Comfortable leading brainstorms, managing timelines, and collaborating across creative and growth functions.
  • Obsessed with culture, trends, and storytelling that connects with real people.
  • Experience with direct response creative, user acquisition campaigns, or B2C brands.
  • Familiarity with editing software (Premiere, CapCut, Final Cut Pro or similar)
  • Strong presentation skills and ability to sell creative ideas internally.
  • Medical, dental, and vision coverage - Kikoff covers the full cost of health insurance for the employee!
