What we’re looking for:
- Driven and Ambitious. You have the drive to move performance metrics, increase validity of asset, and communicate creative thoughts
- Technical Ability. A proficiency in Premiere Pro and familiarity with the entire Adobe Creative Suite
- Strategic. You have a keen business sense, and understand testing strategies through video creative
- Analytical. You’re not afraid to dive into the data (or learn how to interpret it!), look at previous insights, and make your own choices to optimize performance of the video creative you craft
- Collaborative. You’ll work side-by-side with the creative team & user-acquisition managers.
- Articulate. You can express the intentions behind your choices; leveraging data, hypotheses, and experience as reasoning for the ideas you’re championing
