We solve complex sales challenges across a wide range of industries, primarily for large North American partners. By integrating our expertise in Digital Marketing, IT, Design, AI-driven analytics, proprietary MarTech, and sales consulting, we deliver powerful, data-informed customer acquisition solutions.\nAt CapsLock, people, technology, and forward-thinking innovation lie at the heart of everything we do. Our diverse, global team, fluent in over 10 languages, thrives on open collaboration and the exchange of new ideas, pushing boundaries to ensure our clients' success.\nRole overview\nWe're looking for a Marketing Design Team Lead who is equal parts creative leader, marketer, and AI geek, someone who knows how to achieve business goals through visuals that actually sell.\nYou will take a team of 3 AI-driven Creative Designers and scale it to 6. The team produces static ad creatives, photorealistic AI visuals for performance campaigns across paid media channels, and source assets for our video production pipeline.\nYour job is to build the company's visual creative engine. Whatever the starting point- a brief, a hypothesis, a raw idea - it leaves the team as a creative that performs.\nYou'll work closely with Creative Producers, Marketers, Copywriters, Media Buyers, and the Video Editing team, and partner with our Generative AI Pipeline Engineer on tooling and workflows.\nWhat you will work on\nLead, mentor, and scale a team of 3 to 6 AI-driven Creative Designers - grow people, not just output;\nOwn the production flow: task distribution, capacity planning, and strict QC - production-grade, not demo-grade;\nDrive creative direction: concepts, hooks, and visual angles that stop the scroll and convert;\nGenerate ideas yourself and push the team beyond safe iterations - informed by visual trends and competitor creatives;\nOwn the creative testing loop: build a database of winners, analyze failures, turn performance data into next iterations;\nTrack new AI models and tools; be the company's go-to expert on what's creatively possible with AI, staying hands-on in the tools;\nRun regular R&D and build prompt and style libraries that keep quality consistent as the team grows;\nStay hands-on: jump into the tools (Figma, Adobe Suite, AI platforms) when needed to unblock the team, take on the most complex creatives, or test new approaches;\nPartner with the Generative AI Pipeline Engineer to turn the team's creative needs into pipelines, presets, and automation;\nWork tightly with Creative Producers, Marketers, Media Buyers, and Video Editors: align on strategy, negotiate deadlines, solve bottlenecks.\nRequirements\nYour must-haves\nYou don't need to meet every single requirement. If you're excellent in most of these areas and can show shipped work, we'd love to hear from you.\n5+ years of Leadership Experience: You have successfully managed creative/design teams in digital marketing. (This is not a role for a senior designer looking for their first management gig);\nMature Leader & Problem Solver: You build clear processes, guide your team, gracefully resolve conflicts, remain highly proactive, and stay completely open to new ideas and approaches;\nStrong Project Manager: You drive every project cleanly to the finish line. You guarantee top-tier quality, maintain absolute order, and hit strict deadlines without excuses;\nStrong Visual Craft: composition, lighting, color, typography, anatomy. You can articulate exactly why a creative works or doesn't;\nDesign Toolstack: proficiency in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite; comfortable connecting AI outputs with traditional design pipelines;\nAI Geek: far beyond basic prompting. You track every new model release and can't wait to test how it could level up ad creatives. Hands-on with modern AI image platforms (Figma Weave, Higgsfield, Magnific, Runway, or similar), using them for creating photorealistic visuals. Able to choose the right tool for each task, as well as to catch and fix artifacts.\nPerformance Marketing DNA: solid understanding of static ad creatives (Google, Meta, and other paid channels). You know what stops the scroll, what makes a visual sell, and how creative decisions move CTR, CPA, and conversion rate;\nFluency in English - both spoken and written.\nNice to have\nA strong portfolio showcasing performance marketing creatives and AI-generated photorealistic work - ideally with examples shipped under your leadership and the results they drove;\nExperience with creatives for high-CPA verticals (home improvement, insurance, health, legal, finance, or similar);\nExperience creating visuals for North American audiences - you know what looks native to a US consumer;\nUnderstanding of how static visuals feed video production pipelines.\nWhat we offer\nRemote Work - we offer a truly and fully remote environment. You choose where you are the most productive and comfortable to have an impact.\nPaid vacations - generous paid vacation policy to ensure you have time to recharge.\nUnlimited Sick Days - we understand that being only human means getting sick or feeling under the weather from time to time, so we guarantee you time off as long as you need to recover and get back on your feet.\nOngoing Learning - people at CapsLock are deeply inquisitive and eager to learn new knowledge and skills, that's why we support and create learning opportunities like the Free Books program, workshops, conferences, and more.\nHome Office - we will cover the equipment and furniture expenses to make sure you have the best work-from-home experience.\nPhysical Well-Being - we will cover costs of your medical insurance. Additionally we offer an allowance for a flexible fitness program.\nFun Stuff - there is never a shortage of fun stuff.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5856,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":5,"team_size_min":3,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Health insurance","Home office"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Spain","iso":"ES","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Advertising","Digital Marketing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-12T14:52:06Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":27,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.763,"p_room":0.35,"age_days":8,"expected_fill_days":3,"reasons":["conf:1","wave","velocity","win:tail","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-21T05:46:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/capslock-creative-team-lead-ai-performance-marketing-9","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/capslock-creative-team-lead-ai-performance-marketing-9.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-21T17:51:01Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":25220,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-22T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":8689},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=8689"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcapslock-creative-team-lead-ai-performance-marketing-9"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fcapslock-creative-team-lead-ai-performance-marketing-9"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fcapslock-creative-team-lead-ai-performance-marketing-9"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/capslock-creative-team-lead-ai-performance-marketing-9\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcapslock-creative-team-lead-ai-performance-marketing-9"}]}
