[Hiring] Ad Creative Specialist D2C Pet Brand @Slapend Rijk B.V.

Role Description

We're a fast-growing global pet brand with a lean team of freelancers who operate more like a startup crew than a remote workforce. We move fast, communicate directly, and genuinely invest in the people we work with.

This is a specialist role, not a generalist one. We are looking for one thing done exceptionally well: ad creative that performs. The single most important skill: you can look at a creative before it launches and know whether it will win.

What you'll own:

• Concepting, briefing, and iterating ad creative for all ad platforms.
• Owning and streamlining the Ad Creative process with our team.
• Identifying winning concepts, angles, and hooks.
• Owning our target audience and translating insights into action.
• Testing creative at pace and turning results into the next round of winners.
• Staying ahead of creative trends and watching competitors closely.
• Working directly with our CEO and our creators/editors.

Qualifications

• A portfolio with clear, proven results in paid ads for D2C brands. Please do not apply without having one.
• A track record of identifying winning creatives.
• Specific examples of creatives you made or shaped, and the results it drove.
• Experience with pet brands is a plus.

Requirements

• Hold strong, data-backed opinions, and drop them fast when the data disagrees.
• Are comfortable with shifting goals and moving faster than feels comfortable.
• Take direct feedback as a gift, not a dig.
• Have an eye for detail and show us that by including the hidden sentence "Teamwork makes the dream work" in your application.
• Want to earn significantly more by performing significantly better.

Benefits

• Fully remote and freelance.
• Time tracking via our tool.
• NDA with non-compete clause required.
• Opportunities to get bonuses and performance-based upside most companies don't offer. Our strongest people earn well beyond a standard freelance rate.
• Direct access to the CEO - no middle layers.
• Team trips and in-person meetups.
• A real team culture with people who genuinely like working together.
• Flexible, fully remote work where results are what counts.
