Salary: R30,000 - R45,000 gross per month
Duration: Permanent
Employment Type: Full-Time
A fast-moving South African ecommerce brand with a product people genuinely love buying, gifting, and showing off. The team is small and scrappy in the best way, the founder is hands-on and on-camera, and creative output is what drives everything. No layers of approval. No death by committee. Just real ideas, real execution, and real results showing up in the numbers.
Here is the truth: the brand is growing, the ad account is hungry, and currently, there are not enough creatives being produced to feed it properly. That is why this role exists.
What Makes This Worth Your While
- Full creative ownership with a founder who trusts the people he hires
- A role where your ideas actually get made and your results are visible in real time
- No red tape, no 47-slide brand guidelines, just smart creative with clear goals
- Remote and autonomous, built for someone who thrives without being watched
- A position where getting better at your craft is built into the job
You Need to Bring
- A portfolio of Meta ads you planned or produced that genuinely performed, not just looked pretty
- Proven experience in ecommerce or at a performance-driven agency where output and results were everything
- A real understanding of what makes a hook land, what makes a scroll stop, and what makes someone actually click buy
- The ability to think across a full audience spectrum and craft angles that speak to each pocket of potential customers
- Experience directing or managing other creatives and getting the best out of them without micromanaging
- Solid hands in Canva and CapCut or whatever video editor you actually prefer
- The kind of self-discipline that means you do not need to be chased to get things done
What You Will Own
- Planning and briefing all creative across video and image formats for Meta
- Building a weekly creative calendar targeting 10 videos and 5 to 10 image ads every week without fail
- Identifying audience pockets and crafting angles that speak directly to each one
- Directing founder-led shoots, coordinating UGC, and planning studio content so the pipeline is never dependent on a single source
- Managing the junior creative with clear briefs and enough direction to keep them moving fast
- Reviewing and approving all finished assets before they go live
- Digging into performance data and using what is working to shape what gets made next
- Bringing fresh ideas every single week because that is the job
