• Comfortable experimenting with new AI tools and finding ways to get the best possible output from them.
• Understanding of performance marketing concepts such as hooks, CTR, engagement, conversions, and creative testing is a strong plus.
• Ability to work independently, meet deadlines, and produce creatives quickly.
