We need someone who can hit the ground running with immediate availability. No long onboarding, just great creative from day one.

- Producing multiple creative variations per brief to support A/B testing and scaling winning concepts

Adobe Creative Suite
(Photoshop, Illustrator), Figma or similar
- A solid understanding of what drives conversions - hooks, visual hierarchy, offer clarity, and Meta platform best practices
- Familiarity with current social media trends, content types and how they fit into modern marketing strategy & funnel – from awareness to direct action
- Ability to work independently, manage your own time, and turn around assets quickly
- Immediately available
- this is a requirement, not a preference
Nice to Have
- Experience designing for home & garden, outdoor living, or lifestyle ecommerce brands
- Familiarity with creative testing frameworks and performance marketing concepts
