Creative Performance Lead

THE MANDATE

Peggy is building a category-defining AI assistant for parents. Our growth engine will be Meta (IG/FB) video ads, driven by high-velocity creative iteration.

Your job is not “run ads.”

Your job is to build a repeatable creative-performance system that turns raw video into profitable user acquisition - without breaking trust.

If you optimize vanity metrics, over-promise emotionally, or need a big team to function, this role is not for you.

WHAT YOU OWN (END-TO-END)

1. Meta Video Growth Engine (Primary)

-

Design and operate a video-first creative system for IG/FB

-

Turn raw UGC, screen recordings, and B-roll into:

-

10–30 hook variations per concept

-

Multiple pacing and framing cuts

-

Emotionally distinct angles (stress → relief, chaos → calm, guilt → competence)

-

Separate idea testing from execution quality

-

Optimize for thumb-stop, retention, and conversion - not production value

1. Media Buying & Spend Discipline

-

Own Meta campaign structure, budgets, and kill criteria

-

Treat creative as the primary optimization lever

-

Operate confidently in a post-iOS14 / SKAN-imperfect world

-

Kill spend fast when signals are wrong

-

Scale only what proves itself

1. Signal Extraction & Learning Loops

-

Translate ad performance into:

-

Messaging insights

-

Product feedback

-

Landing page learnings

-

Maintain a clean testing log (what worked, what failed, why)

-

Share clear, opinionated recommendations with the founder weekly

1. Secondary Channels (Support, not focus)

-

Apple Search Ads (defensive + intent capture)

-

Static ads only if performance justifies them

-

No channel sprawl without explicit approval

WHAT YOU DO NOT OWN

-

Brand marketing fluff

-

Influencer management

-

TikTok organic strategy

-

PR, partnerships, or “full-funnel storytelling”

-

Big-team coordination

This is a hands-on operator role .

REQUIRED EXPERIENCE

You must have:

-

Personally run Meta paid social for subscription or freemium apps

-

Built or operated a UGC-heavy video ad system

-

Worked with low-signal attribution environments

-

Made real budget tradeoffs (and lived with the consequences)

Bonus (not required):

-

Former app founder

-

Experience in utilities, wellness, parenting, productivity, or consumer SaaS
