About you

Great comes in lots of different forms, and we’re really open to seeing candidates from a range of backgrounds. Given the nature of this role and what we’ll ask of you, we do believe that the following skills are needed to be able to deliver to a high standard:

• Circa 4+ years of experience in a Creative advertising role, ideally in a DTC, FMCG, or start-up or relevant experience in a creative agency.
• Proven experience creating successful paid ads for platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Google Ads from ideation through to execution (including shooting video + recording voice overs).
• Strong copywriting skills and a portfolio showcasing high-performing ads.

• Excellent project management and multitasking abilities.
• Understanding of consumer psychology, advertising trends, and audience resonance.
• Collaborative team player with strong communication skills.
• Passion for sustainability and natural products.

And anyone who has these skills too would likely be a super fit for this role, but these are by no means essential:

• Familiarity with analytics and reporting tools (e.g., Google Analytics, Facebook Ads Manager).
