Sr. Creative Designer (Performance Marketing) - Static & Motion

5+ years in performance creative at a high-volume in-house team or performance agency, ideally in fintech, crypto, gaming or another regulated category.

A portfolio that proves it, submitted with your application. Paid static above all, with the brief or objective alongside the work and the result where you're able to share it. Include two or three full video cuts, at least one AI-generated or AI-assisted piece with a short note on what was tooling and what was you, and one concept you tested where you can talk us through what the data said and what you changed.

Layout, hierarchy, type and composition that hold up at thumbnail size, in feed, and in multiple languages.

Platform-native instincts across Meta, TikTok and YouTube. You can explain why the same idea needs a different build on each one.

Real video skills, from concept to finished, sound-designed cut.

High-level command of gen AI video and image tooling, with shipped work to show for it.

Experience inside a structured creative testing program. You're fluent in the metrics your creative moves (thumb-stop rate, hook rate, CTR, CVR, CPA and ROAS), you can tell a real winner from low performers, and can translate test results into a creative decision.

Fluency in internet and meme culture, with comedic timing and an instinct for what's about to feel dated.

Speed without sloppiness. Comfortable with fast turnarounds, several review rounds and late changes.

Comfort working inside regulatory constraints, with layouts that survive risk warnings and market-specific requirements.

A solid copywriting instinct. Plain language, value first, no hype and no jargon.

Figma and Adobe CC (After Effects, Premiere, Photoshop) as well as strong genAI skills

Curious about investing and crypto at a minimum, and able to make the space legible to others.
