  • Reliable, detail-oriented, and capable of working quickly without sacrificing quality
Bonus Points
  • Experience with MOGRTs, meme-inspired visuals, or short-form UGC-style design
  • Familiarity with AI tools and LLMs for ideation and refinement
  • Prior work in direct response or ecommerce performance marketing
Tech Requirements
  • OS : Windows 11 (64-bit) or macOS 13+
  • CPU : Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) or Intel 6th Gen+
  • RAM : 16GB+
