The Role

We have a fantastic opportunity for a talented, experienced Performance Creative Director director to join our growing award-winning team. As an individual contributor, your core focus will be the rapid creation and optimization of creative assets for performance campaigns.

We’re looking for an ambitious director to play an important role in our growing Gen AI optimisation team. The main selling point of this role is the opportunity to use Pencil—the most popular generative AI creative platform for global brands —to define best practices for Australia's biggest advertisers and demonstrate the future of generative AI creativity to the rest of our global organization.

We need someone with a sharp eye for detail, impeccable work ethic, and a terrific understanding of Generative AI design practices. They must be easy to work with, happy to collaborate, and want to help the team do their very best work.

Skill Requirements

• Strong portfolio of Digital Design and Art Direction work

• Mandatory: Experience and examples of finished generative AI work, such as assets or campaigns that have gone live.

• Mandatory: Must possess curiosity and the ability to continually learn as new models and ways of using Pencil become available.

• Preferred: A background in performance marketing, as the majority of assets are for this purpose. Familiarity with common formats for mature advertisers such as YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels.

• Knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator & InDesign), skills in Google Web Designer and/or After Effects animation would be superb but not essential.

• Ability to think creatively and present your concepts to clients and team members

• Experience of working with Developers and UX designers

• Possess brilliant layout, typography skills and, of course, sharp attention to detail

• Be happy to demonstrate outstanding conceptual and creative thinking in your design work

• Keen to work hard to produce great creative results

• Communicate ideas clearly and confidently to peers and team leaders alike

• Open, honest, direct and comfortable in giving and receiving constructive feedback

• Able to perform well under pressure and prepared to put the hours in when the project demands it

• Finally, it’ll be a huge plus if you have HTML, CSS and JS skills

Responsibilities

• Drive creative concepting for Gen AI campaigns and in-flight optimisation using Pencil Pro.

• Develop and deliver concepts for various video formats, including pre-roll and vertical video. These concepts should be generated with Pencil agents as part of a connected campaign design.

• Engage in practical art design and continuous asset optimization based on campaign performance.

• Utilize generative AI—specifically the Pencil Pro platform—to create and optimize assets based on real-time campaign performance.

• Generate assets for Google campaigns, including YouTube videos, display, and copy.
