Role overviewWe’re hiring a Creative Strategist to help build, lead and scale Aperture’s performance creative engine. This is not a “make pretty ads” role. This role sits at the intersection of:

• Performance marketing • Social-native copywriting • User psychology • Creator-led production • AI-native research • Creative testing systems • Funnel and offer strategy • Platform-native growth

We’re hiring a Graphic Designer to support and scale our performance creative output. This is not a brand-only or static design role. You’ll be working on ads. A lot of them. Your job is to take creative concepts and turn them into high-performing visuals across paid social, UGC, statics and emerging formats. You’ll work closely with creative strategists, performance teams and creator managers to produce assets that are clear, fast, native to platform and built to convert. This role sits at the intersection of: • Design • Performance marketing • Creative testing • Social-native content • AI-assisted production

Why this role mattersCreative is now one of the biggest levers in paid acquisition. As targeting becomes more automated, platform signals become more complex, and competition increases, growth teams need stronger creative systems. Meta’s newer delivery systems rely heavily on creative signals, variation and structured testing, meaning creative volume and diversity are becoming central to performance. At the same time, generative AI is changing how creative teams research, concept, produce and iterate. Leading marketing teams are using AI to speed up production, personalise messaging, analyse customer feedback and scale creative experimentation. This role exists to keep Aperture ahead of that shift. You’ll help us build creative systems that are faster, sharper, more human, more automated and more commercially effective.
