Responsibilities

• Sanctuary Storytelling: Own the visual narrative for 'Rest and Reset.' Guide production of lifestyle assets (morning routines, texture close-ups, bedroom makeovers) that evoke sanctuary and comfort. Ensure all brand touchpoints feel intentional and cohesive
• Content Direction & Influencer Partnerships: Recruit and brief micro-influencers (wellness, home, lifestyle) to generate authentic, on-brand UGC. Source user-generated content without expensive upfront fees. Continuously iterate on creative hooks and messaging

• Multi-Channel Traffic Engine: Deploy a lean, high-intent acquisition strategy combining visual paid ads (Meta, Pinterest) with high-intent search (Google Shopping, Performance Max). Ensure brand messaging is consistent across channels
• Audience Segmentation: Build and refine audience segments based on lifestyle (wellness, home decor, premium lifestyle) and intent. Test lookalike audiences and retargeting cohorts
• Budget Allocation & Agility: Allocate paid budget across channels based on ROAS. Reallocate weekly to highest-performing channels and kill underperforming campaigns within 14 days
• Vendor Audit & Cleanup: Within your first 14 days, audit all external creative agencies, freelancers, and contractors. Ruthlessly fire underperforming or redundant vendors. Document why each vendor exists
• Rigid Performance Reviews: Hold weekly performance cadences with remaining partners. Use cash-based metrics only (CAC, ROAS, CPC). Disregard vanity metrics. Execute 30-day exit clauses for consistent underperformance
• SLA Management: Establish and enforce Service Level Agreements (SLAs) with formal warnings for missed deadlines. Ensure creative turnaround and asset quality meet standards
