JOB OVERVIEW

We're a DTC e-commerce company running multiple brands. We're looking for someone to take over our daily competitor research, long-term.

What you'll do:
Go through the Facebook Ad Library, TikTok and Instagram every day. Find ads and products currently running in our niches and log them in a structured spreadsheet — brand, format, the hook in the first seconds, how long the ad has been running, the angle, and a screenshot. You'll also run several TikTok and Instagram accounts for organic research.

It's detail-driven, repetitive work. You don't need to judge whether an ad is good — we'll show you exactly what to look for and how to log it. What matters is that you're thorough, consistent, and that your sheets are clean.

What we need:
- A basic feel for e-commerce: what sells, what a product page looks like
- Reliable with spreadsheets and consistent formatting
- English good enough to summarise an ad's angle in one line
- Experience with product or ad research is a plus, not a requirement

What we offer:
Around 30 hours a week to start, flexible schedule, more if it works well. Long-term position, not a one-off project. Your role and pay grow as the brands grow.

To apply, tell me:
1. Have you done this kind of research before, and for how long?
2. What e-commerce background do you have?
3. Your hourly rate and how many hours a week you're available.

If you have an example of a research spreadsheet you built, send it along.

Please be straight with me — if you haven't done something yet, just say so. We're hiring for the long term.
