Static Ad Designer for DTC Brand - Performance-Based

We're looking for a static ad designer who can produce scroll-stopping image ads that convert — not just look good. This is an ongoing role for the right person, starting with a paid trial. Important up front: this role is judged on performance. We measure success by whether the ads drive profitable results, not by how polished the portfolio looks. If you're confident your static ads can convert and you're comfortable being measured on it, this is a great fit. If you're looking for a role where output is judged only on aesthetics, this isn't it. What you'll do Create static image ads for our products (sets, dresses, tops) based on clear creative briefs we provide Work from a defined creative system — we'll give you our messaging framework (we use specific angles and tones, all documented in a guide you'll receive) Turn raw photos and UGC stills into high-performing ad creative Produce multiple concepts per week, with distinct visual hooks — not minor text swaps on the same layout Iterate quickly on what's working What we're looking for Proven experience designing static ads for DTC/ecommerce brands (fashion, beauty, or similar a strong plus) A portfolio of ad creative — but more importantly, examples of ads that performed, with context on results if you have it Strong grasp of what makes a static ad stop the scroll and convert: hierarchy, hook, the first thing the eye lands on Fast, reliable, communicative — hits deadlines and flags blockers early Comfortable working to a brief and a defined creative system rather than freestyling How this works We start with a paid trial: you'll build a few image ads to our actual brief, and we may run one or two live to see how they perform Clear expectations from day one — we'll tell you the performance bar before you start, so there's never ambiguity about what "working" looks like Strong performers move into an ongoing role with consistent weekly work and a bonus structure tied to ad performance (ads that hit spend and ROAS targets earn bonuses) Hours and weekly scope defined clearly up front To apply Share your portfolio, with emphasis on static ad creative for DTC brands Tell us about one ad you made that performed well and why you think it worked Note your experience with intimates/fashion brands if any Confirm you're comfortable with a performance-based, trial-to-ongoing structure We review fast and respond to strong applicants quickly. Looking forward to seeing your work.
