On behalf of our client with offices in Dubai, we're looking for a Performance Creative Manager to join their team of professionals on a Remote basis.
About the Company:Our client is a performance-focused company running paid search, paid social and display for clients who watch their cost per acquisition daily. They work with international, multi-market clients who spend seriously on media, and they also build software and place development teams. It's a business where design is measured by what it does to the numbers, not just how it looks.
About the Role:You will own two things end to end: the acquisition journeys their clients run, everything that happens between someone seeing an ad and becoming a customer and the creative that feeds those journeys: display, video and copy.This is hands-on and client-facing in equal measure. Some weeks you'll be in Figma building it yourself; other weeks you'll be on a call explaining to a client's team why their application form loses half its traffic on step two. Most of our client's customers spend well on media and still lose people somewhere between the ad and the confirmation page, closing that gap is what this job is for. You'll report straight to the CEO, with the autonomy to build the design function as the business grows.
What you'll do:
Acquisition Journeys -Walk the full path from ad click to conversion and say plainly where people drop out and whyRedesign landing pages, forms and checkout steps in Figma, with specs a developer can build from without a follow-up callMake the ad and the page say the same thing, a lot of the loss is hereSet up tests worth running, then leave clients able to keep running them
Banners & Display -Produce display and social creative for Google, Meta, Yahoo and TikTok, to spec, in every size the platform asks forBuild concepts as systems, so a resize, a translation or a seasonal refresh doesn't mean starting againWork in static, animated and HTML5 formats, including dynamic and responsive assetsKeep each client's brand intact while giving each platform what works there
Video - Take video from brief to finished file: scope it, find the supplier, agree the money and the deadline, then see it throughKeep a bench of editors, motion designers, videographers and footage sources you trustDirect short-form vertical work that still reads with the sound off, and get the cut-downs each platform needsStay on top of licensing — no paying twice for the same track
Ad Copy-Write headlines, hooks, primary text, descriptions and calls to action across search, social and displayBuild separate angles for separate audiences, structured so a test actually tells you somethingKeep copy accurate and compliant — several clients operate in regulated markets
Testing & AI -Run creative tests and report what moved cost per acquisition; retire work that isn't performing, including your ownUse generative tools for image, video and copy where they genuinely speed things up — you decide where they don't, and you own the quality either way
What you'll bring:Around 5 years in design for direct response: paid social, display, landing pages (agency or in-house, both fine)You've redesigned acquisition flows and can show the conversion numbers before and afterYou've made banner and social creative at volume, across platforms and sizesYou've commissioned and managed video, including budgets, suppliers and deadlinesYou write ad copy and can point to tests that backed your versionAdvanced Figma and Adobe Creative Cloud, plus enough motion and editing skill to brief properly and fix small things yourselfYou already use generative AI tools in live client work and have a view on where they fall shortYou read creative performance data and design tests that give a clear answerYou can sit with a demanding client, take the criticism, and still hold your position when you have the evidenceFluent written and spoken English — you'll present your own workYou've delivered remotely before, without anyone checking on you, and can overlap a few hours a day with the Gulf working day for client callsNo degree required
Nice to have:Experimentation tools such as VWO or OptimizelyEnough HTML and CSS to specify accurately, plus After Effects or similarBoth e-commerce and lead generation behind youRegulated sectors, financial services especiallyArabic, or experience adapting creative into other languagesDesign systems, and managing freelancers or junior designers
Where you're expected to be in the first six months:Month one: through every client's journey and live creative, with the problems named and the first fixes shipped Month three: creative tests running across accounts, a video supplier bench in place, and a production process that doesn't depend on you being awake Month six: conversion rates up, creative cost per acquisition down, and clients asking for you by name
What is Offered:Competitive package A direct line to the CEO — decisions take hours, not weeksInternational clients and a genuinely wide brief: design, video and copy all sit with youPermanently remote — no relocation, no return-to-office planBudget for tools, licences and freelance help, plus an equipment allowanceThe design function is yours to build as the business grows
