Creative Performance Lead
Peggy · 8 hours ago
THE MANDATE
Peggy is building a category-defining AI assistant for parents. Our growth engine will be Meta (IG/FB) video ads, driven by high-velocity creative iteration.
Your job is not “run ads.”
Your job is to build a repeatable creative-performance system that turns raw video into profitable user acquisition - without breaking trust.
If you optimize vanity metrics, over-promise emotionally, or need a big team to function, this role is not for you.
WHAT YOU OWN (END-TO-END)
1. Meta Video Growth Engine (Primary)
-
Design and operate a video-first creative system for IG/FB
-
Turn raw UGC, screen recordings, and B-roll into:
-
10–30 hook variations per concept
-
Multiple pacing and framing cuts
-
Emotionally distinct angles (stress → relief, chaos → calm, guilt → competence)
-
-
Separate idea testing from execution quality
-
Optimize for thumb-stop, retention, and conversion - not production value
2. Media Buying & Spend Discipline
-
Own Meta campaign structure, budgets, and kill criteria
-
Treat creative as the primary optimization lever
-
Operate confidently in a post-iOS14 / SKAN-imperfect world
-
Kill spend fast when signals are wrong
-
Scale only what proves itself
3. Signal Extraction & Learning Loops
-
Translate ad performance into:
-
Messaging insights
-
Product feedback
-
Landing page learnings
-
-
Maintain a clean testing log (what worked, what failed, why)
-
Share clear, opinionated recommendations with the founder weekly
4. Secondary Channels (Support, not focus)
-
Apple Search Ads (defensive + intent capture)
-
Static ads only if performance justifies them
-
No channel sprawl without explicit approval
WHAT YOU DO NOT OWN
-
Brand marketing fluff
-
Influencer management
-
TikTok organic strategy
-
PR, partnerships, or “full-funnel storytelling”
-
Big-team coordination
This is a hands-on operator role.
REQUIRED EXPERIENCE
You must have:
-
Personally run Meta paid social for subscription or freemium apps
-
Built or operated a UGC-heavy video ad system
-
Worked with low-signal attribution environments
-
Made real budget tradeoffs (and lived with the consequences)
Bonus (not required):
-
Former app founder
-
Experience in utilities, wellness, parenting, productivity, or consumer SaaS
