Modifly is seeking a visionary and results-driven Head of Performance Creative to lead our performance-focused creative function, producing high-volume, multi-variant assets for digital media and social channels. This role bridges strategy and execution, translating brand campaign concepts into scalable performance creative, managing the internal creative team and a freelance network, and implementing creative technologies that enable scale and speed. The ideal candidate is a strategic leader, an innovative technologist, and a hands-on creative 'do-er' who can ensure our assets drive performance and ROI.

  • Translate brand creative into channel-specific variations aligned with testing frameworks and KPIs.
  • Stay fluent in emerging platform trends (TikTok, Reels, YouTube Shorts, etc.) and best practices for short-form video.
  • Team & Vendor Management : Build and manage an internal team of designers, editors, and motion specialists.
  • Oversee a vetted freelance bench for overflow, niche formats, or quick-turn needs.

  • Provide estimates for new business and client scopes of work.
  • Maintain visibility into timelines, budgets, and versioning across campaigns.
  • Ensure creative usage rights and documentation are tracked in collaboration with Operations.
  • Innovation & Emerging Technology : Evaluate and integrate emerging creative production technologies (AI-driven creative tools, automation for versioning, dynamic creative optimization platforms).
  • Pilot new approaches to accelerate creative testing and scale asset output without sacrificing quality.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of creative experience in performance marketing, digital media, or social-first production.
  • Creative Craft : Proven ability to produce both video / motion and static assets optimized for digital media.
  • Experience tailoring creative for multiple platforms : Meta, TikTok, YouTube, Display, and emerging ad formats.
  • Strong portfolio that demonstrates performance-driven creative (multi-variant testing, direct-response, social ads).
  • Familiarity with influencer and social-first creative workflows (UGC-style production, creator partnerships).
  • Leadership & Management : Experience managing teams and / or freelance networks—giving clear direction, feedback, and mentoring.
  • Track record of building scalable creative workflows and managing multiple concurrent workstreams.
  • Technology & Innovation : Working knowledge of AI and emerging creative production technologies (e.g., generative AI for visuals, automated versioning, dynamic creative optimization tools).
  • Ability to evaluate and adopt new tools that improve speed, cost, or creative effectiveness.
  • Comfortable integrating creative workflows into project management and asset-tracking systems (ClickUp, Airtable, Frame.io, or similar).
  • Collaboration & Communication : Ability to collaborate cross-functionally with Media, Social & Influencer, and Operations teams.
  • Strong communicator who can present creative POVs to internal teams and external clients.
  • Organized and detail-oriented, able to balance hands-on production with leadership responsibilities.

Data-driven, creative campaigns broadcast over modern media channels that create deep consumer relationships while delivering measurable insights into the impact on your brand’s performance.️‍ Our motivation is rooted in innovation. We are change agents with a passion to help brands leverage emerging technology to unlock modern solutions.

    We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
