About the Role

Currently, we produce approximately 200 ads weekly, with a target of 10,000 ads annually within the next year. Our primary challenge lies not in staffing but in finding a creative leader who can scale our output while maintaining our high standards.

You will lead a dedicated team of a creative strategist, designer, in-house videographer, producer, and media buyer, transforming our operation from effective to industry-leading.

This role is both strategic and hands-on. At Superpower, leadership is about execution, setting creative direction, crafting briefs with your team, and reviewing every concept prior to launch.

Key Responsibilities

  • Messaging & Positioning: Lead the development of angles, hooks, and narrative arcs for all paid placements; create and manage a persona-based messaging bank; and approve all scripts and headlines before publication.

  • Visual System: Define Superpower's visual identity across platforms including Meta, Google, and YouTube; ensure visual consistency across 100+ concepts each month; and collaborate with the Brand Director on brand-performance alignment.

  • Team Leadership: Oversee creative, static, and video editing teams; collaborate with UGC and Influencer Directors; and establish a regular workflow (briefs on Monday, releases on Friday).

  • Channel Collaboration: Work closely with the media buyer to understand creative performance in the bidding environment; advocate for impactful creative strategies and eliminate underperforming assets.

Qualifications

  • Experience:

    • A minimum of 7 years in performance creative, with at least 3 years in a leadership role at a DTC brand with a monthly spend exceeding $1M.

    • Proven track record of owning creative for a brand that scaled from $20M to over $100M in ARR, with references to validate this growth.

    • Experience hiring and developing creative strategists, designers, and editors who consistently exceed performance benchmarks.

  • Skills:

    • Ability to craft briefs, scripts, and headlines at a senior agency level, while being hands-on across all creative aspects you oversee.

    • Proficient in analyzing paid social data to determine which ads to scale, discontinue, or revise.

    • Strong communication skills to collaborate with various teams.
