-
This role focuses on the rapid creation and iteration of high-impact digital advertising creative for multiple Australian brands, leveraging advanced design, video editing, and AI technologies.
-
The position requires a creative operator adept at translating performance data and market insights into compelling visual content for Meta ads, email marketing, and social media platforms.

-
The core of this role involves understanding what drives digital advertising performance and continuously optimizing creative output based on real-time feedback and AI-driven enhancements.
π Enhancement Note: While the raw job description leans heavily into graphic design and content creation, the emphasis on "digital advertising perform," "creative performance," "Meta Ads Manager data," and "performance data" strongly indicates a Revenue Operations or Marketing Operations adjacent function. The role is not just about aesthetics but about driving measurable business outcomes through creative. Therefore, "Creative Operations" or "Marketing Operations" is a more fitting category than pure Graphic Design. The "Independent Contractor" status is also crucial for understanding the employment structure.
π Primary Responsibilities
-

-
Specialize in creating mortgage advertising content tailored for non-bank specialty lending and debt consolidation offers, ensuring compliance and effectiveness.

Transform raw video footage of skincare products into polished, 15-20 second video advertisements, alongside developing complementary static creative.
-
Generate diverse creative variations from winning concepts, focusing on hooks, formats, and visual angles to maximize engagement and conversion.
-
Analyze creative performance metrics (e.g., hook/hold rate, Click-Through Rate (CTR), other Meta Ads Manager data) to inform and drive iterative improvements in new creative assets.
-
Proactively work from existing successful creative assets, rapidly producing new variants rather than waiting for detailed, prescriptive briefs.
-
Integrate AI tools across the entire creative workflow, including AI image generation, AI video creation/enhancement, AI voiceovers, and upscaling/enhancement technologies to accelerate production speed and quality.
-
Maintain strict brand consistency across multiple distinct businesses while adapting creative treatments to suit different target audiences and specific offers.
-
Support the creation of email creative assets for a substantial database of over 10,000 HubSpot contacts, ensuring brand and campaign alignment.
-
Contribute to building social content for brands as needed, prioritizing paid creative production while ensuring social media presence is maintained.
π Enhancement Note: The responsibilities clearly outline a need for strategic thinking beyond just design execution. The emphasis on performance data analysis, rapid iteration from winning concepts, and AI integration positions this role as a critical component of a performance-driven marketing operation. The expectation to "work from existing winners and rapidly produce new variants" and "use AI throughout the creative workflow" highlights a need for operational efficiency and a proactive, data-informed approach, which are hallmarks of strong operations roles.
π Skills & Qualifications

Preferred Skills:
-
Experience with AI upscaling and enhancement tools such as Topaz.
-
Familiarity with HubSpot for email marketing creative support.

π Enhancement Note: The description's explicit requirement for "hands-on experience using tools such as:" and the emphasis on explaining how AI is used in the workflow, rather than just that it's used, elevates this beyond a typical design role. The blend of professional Adobe tools with practical Canva use, and the demand for performance data interpretation, strongly suggests a need for operational efficiency and a results-oriented mindset, characteristic of a mid-level operations professional. The "2-5 years" experience level aligns with this mid-level expectation.

Portfolio Essentials:
-
Digital Advertising Case Studies: Showcase 2-3 distinct projects where you designed and produced static or video creative that directly contributed to measurable advertising campaign success (e.g., increased CTR, improved conversion rates, enhanced engagement).
-
Performance Iteration Examples: Include examples demonstrating how you took a winning creative concept and developed multiple successful variations, detailing the rationale behind the changes and the resulting performance uplift.
-
AI Integration Showcase: Feature projects where AI tools were integral to the production workflow. Clearly articulate the AI tools used, the specific problem they solved (e.g., speed, quality, cost), and the impact on the final creative output.

π Enhancement Note: For operations roles, a portfolio is not just a gallery of work but a testament to process and impact. The emphasis on "performance data," "rapidly produce new variants," and "use AI throughout the creative workflow" necessitates a portfolio that highlights efficiency, data-driven decision-making, and technological adoption. The "Process Documentation" section prompts candidates to articulate their operational methodology, which is a critical differentiator for operations professionals.
π΅ Compensation & Benefits
Salary Range: $2,000 - $3,000 AUD per month.
- Methodology: This range is directly provided in the job description. For context, converting this to Philippine Peso (PHP) using an approximate exchange rate (e.g., 1 AUD = ~37 PHP as of late 2023/early 2024) yields approximately PHP 74,000 to PHP 111,000 per month. This compensation is competitive for experienced creative professionals in the Philippines, particularly for remote roles with Australian clients, reflecting the "above-market pay" mentioned. The Australian Dollar (AUD) denomination suggests a client base in Australia, and the stated range is typical for skilled independent contractors in that market for specialized remote roles.
Benefits:

Flexible Work Schedule: While alignment with AU business hours is encouraged for collaboration, the role offers flexibility in managing your personal work schedule as an independent contractor.
-
Remote Work Opportunity: This is a 100% remote position, allowing you to work from home.
-
Direct Client Engagement: You will be engaged directly by the client, not through an outsourcing agency, offering a more direct working relationship.

Exposure to Diverse Brands: Opportunity to work across three distinct and growing Australian brands in mortgage lending, skincare, and supplements, providing varied creative challenges.
-
Above-Market Compensation: The role offers compensation that is explicitly stated to be above market rate for the right talent.
Working Hours: Expected to align with Australian business hours (approximately 9 AM - 5 PM, Monday to Friday) for collaborative purposes. However, as an independent contractor, there is flexibility in how you manage your time and total working hours, provided project deadlines and collaboration needs are met.
π Enhancement Note: The salary is provided in AUD, which is a key detail for Philippine-based contractors. The note clarifies the approximate PHP equivalent and contextualizes it as competitive. The benefits are framed within the context of an independent contractor agreement, highlighting flexibility and direct engagement, which are typical advantages of such arrangements. The mention of "alignment with AU business hours" is important for managing expectations regarding availability.
