Butter & Crust is a fast-growing weekend breakfast subscription business. We deliver fresh sourdough, pastries and breakfast extras to customers’ doorsteps before 9am every weekend. We’re hiring a hands-on Paid Performance Creative Editor to help us make better Meta ads, faster. We’re growing through paid advertising and want to get much sharper with the creative going into the account. This role is about turning real product stories, customer moments, founder ideas, London food culture, reviews and AI-assisted creative into ads that people actually stop for, understand and act on.
This is not a “post nice things on Instagram” role. It is also not a pure video editing role. It’s a paid social creative role. You’ll be making short-form videos, statics, carousels, UGC-style edits and AI-assisted ad concepts for Meta, Instagram and TikTok, then using performance data to decide what to make next. We care about hooks, angles, speed, volume and learning. We would rather have 10 good, testable ads than one polished brand film.
You’ll own creative production for paid social, including:
- Editing short-form Meta ads from founder footage, product clips, customer content and UGC-style material
- Creating simple, effective static ads, carousels and product-led creatives
- Writing and testing hooks, headlines, captions, overlays and ad copy
- Turning customer reviews, testimonials, product benefits and objections into strong ad concepts
- Thinking in paid social angles: first order offer, bakery run, before 9am delivery, weekend ritual, customer proof, subscription reassurance and reasons to buy
- Repurposing existing assets into multiple hooks, openings, formats and iterations
- Creating variations from winning ads rather than constantly starting from scratch
- Using tools like Claude, ChatGPT, Higgsfield, Runway, Midjourney, Kling, Magnific, Photoshop AI, Canva and CapCut to move faster and create more variations
- Building AI-assisted workflows for concepting, storyboarding, scripting, image generation, video generation and creative testing
- Planning small content shoots, shot lists and founder/customer content prompts when needed
- Building a library of hooks, angles, testimonials, product claims, objections and reusable assets
- Working closely with the media buyer to understand what is performing, what is fatiguing, and what to make next
Ideal experience:
- [MUST HAVE] Making paid social creative for Meta, ideally for ecommerce, DTC, food, hospitality, local delivery or subscription brands
- Understanding how creative affects CTR, CPA, CAC, conversion and creative fatigue
- Editing short-form ads quickly and cleanly
- Writing simple, natural hooks that feel human rather than over-polished
- Creating statics in Canva, Figma, Photoshop or similar
- Understanding why people buy, not just what looks good
- Using performance data to shape creative decisions
- Taking one idea and turning it into multiple testable ad variations
- Working in fast-moving, high-output environments
- Strong taste in food, home, mornings, lifestyle or local London content
- Examples of ads you made that actually ran in paid social accounts
- Confidence explaining the hook, angle, test and next iteration behind an ad
- Confident use of generative AI tools, especially for ad concepts, image-to-video, product scenes, storyboards and rapid creative variations
- Comfortable taking a rough idea and turning it into five strong ad concepts quickly
- A genuine love of very good bread and pastries
The Package Workplace: Our office is a 10-minute walk from Battersea Power Station, with flexibility for WFH. Working arrangement: Open to freelance, part-time or full-time to start. Frontier AI Max plans and credits to support your AI-assisted output. Perk: A free weekly Butter & Crust subscription.
PSA: This is a hands-on, high-output paid social role. If you like moving fast, making lots of creative, testing what works, and seeing your work directly drive growth, you’ll love it here.
