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
Tips for South African Applicants
Timezone Advantage
South Africa (SAST, UTC+2) overlaps well with European business hours and has a few hours of overlap with US East Coast. Mention your timezone flexibility in your application.
Salary in Context
At R37,000/month, this role is competitive with the average South African remote salary. The USD equivalent ($2,000/mo) benefits from the favourable exchange rate.
Application Tips
Tailor your CV to international standards — use a clean format, highlight remote work experience, and include your English proficiency. Many SA applicants succeed by emphasising their strong work ethic and cultural adaptability.
Load Shedding Preparedness
If you're applying for a remote role, having a backup power solution (UPS, inverter, or generator) and mobile data as a backup internet connection shows employers you're prepared for South Africa's infrastructure challenges.
