About the role

We’re looking for a nimble Art Director to shape how our brand shows up across growth, social, and marketing campaigns, with a strong focus on paid performance advertising. This role is equal parts concept engine and production powerhouse and you’ll generate ideas that cut through, then bring them to life across paid, performance, social, and content channels.

You’ll collaborate with growth, product marketing, and creative teams to develop work that is bold, fast-moving, and effective. The ideal candidate has a proven track record creating high-performing ad creative across multiple channels and knows how to design for measurable outcomes, whether that’s driving higher CTR, stronger conversion, or improved ROAS.

What you’ll be doing:

• Concept, design, and produce creative for paid performance campaigns across channels (Meta, LinkedIn, Google Display, YouTube, programmatic, etc.).
• Design and deliver dev-ready, brand-building campaign landing pages.
• Translate growth and performance goals into creative strategies that deliver against KPIs (CTR, conversion, ROAS).
• Partner with growth and marketing teams on campaign development, ensuring ideas scale across channels.
• Act as a creative engine, generating concepts that push the brand forward while delivering measurable impact.
• Collaborate with copy, motion, and marketing partners to execute high-quality work, fast.
• Maintain brand consistency while adapting creative for performance and experimentation.

What we expect from you:

• 4–6 years of design or art direction experience with a focus on paid performance advertising (agency or in-house, SaaS a plus).
• A strong portfolio with proven results in performance ads across Meta, LinkedIn, Google, YouTube, and other growth channels.
• Experience designing creative that improves performance metrics (CTR, conversion rates, ROAS).
• Proficiency in AI video/photo platforms, Figma, and Adobe Creative Suite (motion skills a plus).
• Experience balancing high creative quality with quick-turn production.
• A knack for both big-idea thinking and detailed execution.

How success is measured:

• Lift in CTR and engagement rates for paid campaigns.
• Improved conversion rates and pipeline contribution tied to ad creative.
• Increased ROAS and cost efficiency across channels.
• Scaled creative testing velocity (volume of ad variations produced + iterated).
• Positive feedback from cross-functional partners on creative quality and impact.
