Our mission is to help everyone who works with visuals get the job done, without lowering the bar on design.\nIf you want to help set that standard, we'd like to hear from you.\nPerformance Creative Designer, Static + Motion (Mid-Level+ to Senior)\nGrowth at Recraft runs on creative that's tested, not guessed at. We're looking for a Performance Creative Designer who works across static and motion and moves between them depending on what the week needs: reading what's working, turning that into the next round of ads, and shipping creative that holds up on Meta, Google, and TikTok. For the right person, this is a chance to build the performance creative function at Recraft from the ground up, with Recraft Studio itself as your day-to-day production tool.\nTest Weeks and Scale Weeks\nThe role alternates between two modes, and you need to be good at both.\nTest weeks. Speed and volume. Many statics and rough video cuts, each built around a clear hypothesis and shipped fast, to find the idea that sells.\n\nScale weeks. Craft. Once an idea wins, you turn it into high-quality video ads that can carry real budget: tighter edits, stronger motion, cutdowns, every format and placement, and localised versions.\n\nKey Responsibilities\nProduce paid ad creative for Meta, Google, and TikTok in both modes: fast statics and rough video cuts for testing, finished video ads for scaling.\n\nMake video ads that show a concrete result: product demos built from screen recordings and motion graphics, before-and-after transformations, short cinematic spots made with AI video models, and edits of creator and UGC footage.\n\nOwn the creative testing pipeline end to end: form a hypothesis, ship it, read the results, and iterate on winners.\n\nTake a winning idea across formats: a static into motion, a 20-second spot into 6- and 15-second cutdowns, 9x16 into 4x5, 1x1 and 16x9, and English into other markets.\n\nTranslate performance data (hook rate, hold rate, CTR, cost per payer) into the next round of creative yourself, rather than waiting for a brief.\n\nUse Recraft Studio as your primary production tool for image and video generation, and feed what you learn back to the product team building it.\n\nKeep the ad creative brandbook consistent while adapting tone by placement and audience.\n\nWho You'll Work With\nYou'll join the Marketing team and work closely with our Performance Marketing Manager, UA Manager, and Creative and product teams. This is a role built around bringing your own ideas to the table, not just executing against a detailed brief.\nRequirements\n3+ years creating performance and paid-acquisition creative, with video ads as a regular part of that work.\n\nA portfolio of static and video ads that actually ran, with context on what won and why.\n\nStrong motion design and editing: After Effects (or similar) for type, UI, and product animation; Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, or CapCut for editing; Figma or Photoshop for static.\n\nStrong understanding of video ad anatomy: hooks, the first three seconds, pacing, sound-off captions, safe zones, platform specs, and policy limits.\n\nHands-on experience using AI image and video tools (such as Runway, Kling, Veo, or Seedance) in a real production workflow, including knowing where they fall short.\n\nAble to work at two speeds: rough and fast when testing, polished and precise when scaling.\n\nBased in the EU, Georgia, Armenia, or Serbia, with the right to work as a contractor there.\n\nNice to Have\nExperience with design tools, creative SaaS, or dev tools (Canva, Picsart, Photoroom, Figma-adjacent products).\n\nVector animation or 3D skills (Blender, Cinema 4D), a real differentiator given Recraft's vector and brand-style capabilities.\n\nAd copywriting and scripting: able to write your own hooks, on-screen text, and voiceover scripts.\n\nExperience briefing creators and editing UGC or creator partnership ads.\n\nSound design and music selection for short-form video.\n\nIn-house experience at a product company, ideally with a subscription product, rather than purely agency-side work.\n\nExperience growing your own audience as a creator or influencer on Instagram or TikTok.\n\nYou're already a Recraft user.\n\nWhat We Offer\nA full-time contractor engagement, fully remote, with compensation that matches the seniority and ownership this role carries.\n\nReal ownership of the testing pipeline, from hypothesis to shipped ad to the next iteration, not just execution against someone else's brief.\n\nRange in the work: fast testing one week, high-production video the next, with budget behind the ideas that win.\n\nA product built on AI image and video generation, growing fast, where your creative work has a direct, measurable line to company results.\n\nThe chance to be the first person to define what performance creative looks like at Recraft. Your test results become the playbook everyone after you works from.\n\nDirect collaboration with our Performance Marketing, UA, Creative, and product teams.\n\nA team that means it when it says it wants to build the best product in the category: people who give each other direct, useful feedback, share context openly, and step in to help without being asked.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5694,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Germany","iso":"DE","kind":"region"},{"name":"France","iso":"FR","kind":"region"},{"name":"Austria","iso":"AT","kind":"region"},{"name":"Belgium","iso":"BE","kind":"region"},{"name":"Bulgaria","iso":"BG","kind":"region"},{"name":"Croatia","iso":"HR","kind":"region"},{"name":"Cyprus","iso":"CY","kind":"region"},{"name":"Czech
