We are looking for a highly skilled, volume-driven Performance Graphic Designer who is experienced with layout design and typography and is fluent in generative AI. In this role, you will own the creative production of paid digital ads across Meta platforms (Facebook, Instagram), transforming marketing hypotheses into high-impact visual assets. You will use cutting-edge Generative AI platforms as a core medium to rapidly generate refined, high-quality content.

Partnering closely with our Creative Strategist, you will use performance insights to iterate, experiment, and build an impressive variety of direct-response campaign designs intended to convert. You won’t just use AI tools — you’ll be our resident expert on them. You’ll watch what’s emerging, bring recommendations to the team, and help us stay ahead of what’s possible.

• High-Volume Direct-Response Production:
  Design and deliver a massive variety of static and short-form motion ads optimized specifically for Meta placements.
• Translate & Execute Creative Briefs:
  Seamlessly translate high-level creative briefs into high-quality, production-ready outputs using Midjourney, Nano Banana Pro, or Adobe Firefly.

  Incorporate AI tools into your daily design pipeline to accelerate asset concepting, resizing, and layout experimentation.

  Generate realistic textures, mockups, and product visualizations aligned to strict brand standards.
• Master Layout & Typography:
  Apply expert graphic design fundamentals to manually set typography, build clear visual hierarchies, and craft thumb-stopping ad layouts in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite.
• Partner with Creative Strategy:
  Collaborate directly with our Creative Strategist to translate audience hooks and performance data into fresh visual concepts. You don’t need to crunch the numbers, but you must know how to use them to inform your design iterations.

• Core Foundation: A solid foundation of 5+ years of graphic design experience with a strong command of Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign.
• Advanced Prompting:
  Proven ability to construct complex prompts that yield consistent, repeatable visual aesthetics, ensuring control over the AI's output.
