There is a good chance you have already seen Fireflies quietly powering one of your recent meetings.We're hiring an Ad Designer to become the dedicated creative engine behind our Meta, Instagram, and social ad output. Today, ad turnaround runs through founders and the design lead directly — every cricket-sponsorship creative, every carousel, every quick test. We want that to change: someone who can own the full loop from "here's an insight" to "here are 10 variations live and being tested," in hours, not days.This isn't a "make it look nice" role. It's for someone who thinks like a marketer first — who can sit inside Meta Ads Manager, form a real opinion about why an ad is or isn't working, and turn that opinion into the next creative before being asked.What you'll do:Design high-performing ad creative for Meta, Instagram, and other paid social channels — statics, carousels, and short-form video assetsTake one working ad and rapidly produce 10+ variations (copy, colour, format, hook) to keep testing and scaling what performsHandle basic video clipping - repurposing raw founder/event/product footage into short-form social and ad-ready clipsLive inside Meta Ads Manager: track performance, study competitors and industry trends, and use that data to decide what to design nextTurn around carousels and quick-test creative in hours, not days - speed is part of the job, not a nice-to-havePartner directly with founders and the marketing/design team on messaging, testing hypotheses, and creative directionOwn visual execution end-to-end, concept to shipped ad , without needing a designer to be looped in on every assetBuild a reusable system of ad templates and winning formats so output scales without reinventing each briefWho we're looking for:You think like a marketer who designs, not a designer who makes ads look nice. You have a real opinion on what copy will land, what colours will work, what visual stops the scroll, and what makes a value prop instantly understandable.A portfolio or reel that shows live, shipped ad creative - ideally with a sense of what performed and why, not just concept workStrong graphic design fundamentals: layout, colour, typography, and an instinct for what gets attention on Meta/IGComfort with basic video editing/clipping for short-form social and ad placementsA bias for speed and iteration - you'd rather ship 10 variants of something that's already working today than polish one thing for a weekReal experience close to performance advertising - you've run ad accounts yourself, or worked tightly enough with founders/marketers to understand what the data is telling youAbility to work quickly, communicate clearly over Slack, and overlap with US Pacific or European working hoursStrong plus: You've personally run or scaled an ad account, an Instagram page, or a creator/brand page from scratch — we'd rather see that than an agency résumé. We're also widening our aperture beyond typical SaaS design: backgrounds in luxury, fashion, entertainment, sports, hospitality, or agency work are all welcome.
