We’re looking for a Creative Lead to own the look, feel and performance of the Meta ad creative we produce for our clients. This is a hands-on role for a designer who leads from the front: someone who can sit with a client, understand what they’re trying to say, and turn it into scroll-stopping static and video ads that actually convert. This is a remote role, and we’re open to both full-time and freelance arrangements. Candidates must be based in the UAE, as there may be occasional in-person client meetings.
You’ll work closely with our founders, taking on a large share of the briefs and design work currently on our plates. You’ll be trusted with real ownership from day one. If you’re the kind of person who spots what a campaign needs before anyone asks, you’ll fit right in.
Key responsibilities:
- Concept, design and deliver high-quality static and video ads for Meta (Facebook and Instagram) across feed, Stories and Reels formats
- Lead creative conversations with clients: run kickoff calls, understand their brand and goals, and present ideas with confidence
- Build mood boards, vision boards and style frames to align on creative direction before production
- Turn briefs into multiple ad concepts, hooks and variations ready for testing
- Use performance data to refine creative and make better ads in each round
- Manage a high volume of briefs across different clients and industries while keeping quality consistent
- Maintain brand consistency for each client while keeping creative fresh
- Bring new ideas, trends and formats to the team without being asked
Working hours: Full time, Hybrid (mostly remote), with availability during UAE business hours for calls and collaboration.

- Experience working with a range of clients across different industries and brand styles
- Able to manage multiple projects and deadlines without dropping quality
