This is a confidential search for a growing DTC e-commerce brand where performance creative is the main growth lever. You will not be managing from a distance: you write the angles, brief the ads, lead the editors, and are judged on how many of your concepts turn into winners.

What you'll get

  • $4,000–$7,000 per month, plus a 3% performance-based upside.
  • Direct access to the founders on priorities, results and what to test next.
  • Full ownership of the creative function at a brand scaling toward nine figures.
  • A hands-on strategic role with real leadership scope, not a pure management seat.
  • Remote, with a preference for candidates working in the Dubai timezone.
  • Trustpilot review by Alex Dod: One of the best recruitment experiences I had
  • Trustpilot review by Ciarán Foley: Excellent professional service

What you'll do

  • Research customer pain points, desires and objections, then turn them into angles, hooks and personas.
  • Write production-ready briefs and scripts for video, static and UGC ads.
  • Analyse creative performance and translate it into the next round of tests.
  • Lead the editing team: briefs, deadlines, quality control and feedback.
  • Build the UGC pipeline, sourcing and briefing creators through Trybe and other channels.
  • Use AI hands-on for research, scripting and production to raise output without losing quality.

Who you are

  • You have personally developed creative behind at least $500,000 in cumulative ad spend.
  • You have worked on DTC accounts spending at least $1,000,000 per month.
  • You write direct-response copy and scripts that sell, not just scroll well.
  • You have genuinely led editors or a creative production team.
  • You know UGC workflows and use AI tools in real production, not in theory.
  • Experience in wireless bras, shapewear, lingerie or women's apparel is a strong advantage.

Questions people ask

Why is the company not named?
This is a confidential search. You learn exactly what the business sells, how it grows and what the role owns; the name is shared once you are in process.
What proof do I need to send?
Winning ad examples you personally developed, screenshots or recordings showing spend and ROAS, briefs you wrote, and a clear account of your own contribution. Confidential details can be redacted.
Will a strong portfolio be enough?
No. Portfolios and titles alone are not evaluated. If you cannot substantiate the $500K creative spend and $1M monthly account spend, this role is not the right fit.
Do I have to be in Dubai?
No. The role is remote, with a preference for candidates who can work in the Dubai timezone.
