Type of job:Remote

About the Role:You’ll be the founder’s right-hand partner, turning big ideas into a high-energy brand that people can't stop watching. You aren't just managing accounts; you are a visual architect building the systems that make a brand grow. While you’ll help produce viral founder content, your main focus is product-driven growth, designing everything from packaging and Amazon listings to high-converting Meta ads.

This is a high-speed role for a creator who loves to design, experiment with AI tools, and build the workflows that turn a vision into a global name. Over time, you’ll move from "doing" to "directing" as you build out our full creative team.

Key Responsibilities:

Product Creative
* Start with packaging and inserts
* Product visuals and storytelling
* Shopify/Amazon listing images, Amazon A+ content, and videos.
* Creative support for new product launches
* Use AI and automation tools to speed up the "boring stuff," leaving more time for high-level creative experimentation.
* Help turn internal productivity systems into beautiful, consumer-ready products with compelling backstories.
* Coordinate with product designers and manufacturers to ensure the final physical product matches the original creative vision.
Marketing / Performance Creative
* Amazon ad creatives
* Product video assets
* Meta ad creatives
* Visual assets that improve conversion and product positioning
* Create polished graphics and visual assets that refine the look and feel of the  brands.
* Build repeatable workflows for video production and social media pipelines so creativity can scale without chaos.
* Organize a structured library of video assets and templates to ensure a consistent aesthetic across all channels.
* Develop the "visual hooks" and brand voice for new product launches, ensuring they resonate with our audience.
* Run "scrappy" tests on new content formats and paid ads to see what resonates visually with our community.
* Analyze social data to understand which creative styles are winning and double down on those aesthetics.
Creator / Influencer Assets
* Preparing product visuals and creative briefs for influencers
* Supporting creator collaborations with ready-to-use assets
* Repurposing creator content for ads and campaigns
* Design the visual and messaging frameworks for affiliate programs and creator collaborations.
Founder Content
* Direct and edit high-energy short-form content (Reels, TikToks, Shorts) that stops the scroll and captures the founder’s voice.
* Turn high-level concepts into "hooks" and story arcs that make complex operational ideas feel human and exciting.
* Move from "doing" to "directing" over time, building out a creative team as the marketing engine grows.
Qualifications & Skills:
* Proficient in video editing (e.g. Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro)
* Strong graphic design skills (e.g. Adobe Creative Cloud)
* Experienced in social media management and content creation
* Ability to use AI tools and automation to streamline processes
* Excellent understanding of social media trends and best practices
* Able to translate Owner’s ideas into compelling content
* Creative problem-solving skills to optimize content performance
* Strategic thinking to help build Owner's brand and presence
Type of Person You Are:
* High energy, "high bandwidth" personality
* Eagerness to learn and grow into a more strategic, leadership-oriented role
* Strong attention to detail and process-oriented mindset
* Comfortable working collaboratively with Owner as a "founder's left hand"
* Willingness to "roll up your sleeves" and execute on tasks
Building the Marketing Team (Long Term):

As the marketing engine grows, this role will eventually:
* hire editors
* hire marketing specialists
* build a creative team
* manage the marketing function
The long-term path could evolve into Head of Marketing / Chief Creative Officer

What Success Looks Like in this Role:

In the first 6–12 months you will help establish:
* a founder content pipeline
* a consistent social media presence
* initial influencer marketing tests
* early affiliate systems
* marketing playbooks
Within 2–3 years you may lead:
* a full creative team
* a scaled marketing engine
* multiple product launches per year
Why this Role is Unique:

This role sits at the intersection of:
* entrepreneurship
* product design
* marketing
* systems building
You will work directly with a founder who:
* builds businesses rapidly
* operates highly systemized companies
* is actively building a multi-company portfolio
