Hello!
We're a fast-growing D2C e-commerce brand selling personalized illustrated products. We've built a strong base in one European market and are scaling to a second one. We need someone to own the Meta Ads + creative strategy side of that scaling effort.
This is **NOT a generic VA role**. We're looking for someone who thinks like a media buyer AND a creative strategist AND uses AI tools (Claude, Claude Cowork,) as a daily workflow — not as a gimmick.
If you read Common Thread Collective, follow Barry Hott / Sam Piliero / Dara Denney, have used Foreplay or Motion, and get genuinely excited about a 25% lift in hook rate — keep reading.
__________________________________________________
**WHAT YOU'LL OWN**
- Define the weekly creative testing roadmap (hooks, angles, formats, offers)
- Build creative briefs for our illustrators / video editors
- Launch, manage, and optimize Meta Ads campaigns daily — flag fatigue, scale winners, kill losers based on a clear framework
- Creating ads (video or image) is optional but recommended
- Deliver a written weekly brief: what worked, what didn't, hypotheses for next week
- Sync weekly with the founder on what to copy/test/drop across markets
_____________________________________________________________________________
**REQUIRED**
- 2+ years hands-on Meta Ads for D2C e-commerce (NOT lead-gen, NOT B2B, NOT info-products)
- Solid grasp of ROAS, MER, CAC, LTV, AOV, CTR, CPM, frequency, hook rate, hold rate, creative fatigue
- English fluency
- Daily user of Claude (you can explain what a "context file" is)
- Track record with brands past $20k/month spend (smaller OK if the thinking is sharp)
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Claude Cowork or Claude Projects · Shopify · Klaviyo · creative-driven brand experience (fashion, anime, fandom, gifting) · European market exposure
____________________________________________________________________________________
You only know how to boost posts, run lead-gen, do $5-50/day dropshipping, or use AI just to "write ad copy."
___________________________________________________________________________________________
**HOURS**
20 hours/week to start, growing to full-time within 60-90 days based on results. Long-term role.
