Junior

Full Time

Onsite Required

The Opportunity:

You will define how Juggerknot shows up across:

  • Ads (Meta-first)

  • Organic content (Instagram)

  • Website and brand visuals


You will not just execute. You will decide what gets made — and what doesn't.


What This Really Requires

Not just skill. Not just software. Taste. Judgment. Instinct. The ability to look at something and know: "This will work." / "This won't."


Social & Internet Understanding (Critical)

  • You understand what makes people stop scrolling

  • You understand what gets reactions, comments, and shares

  • You can create content people talk about — not just consume

  • You know the difference between:

    • Content that looks good

    • Content that spreads


Ads Thinking (Meta Focus)

  • You understand hooks, retention, and thumb-stop moments

  • You can break down winning creatives and rebuild them

  • You think in volume — multiple angles, not one "perfect ad"

  • You understand:

    • Creative → Performance → Scale


Creative Direction

  • You can plan and execute shoots end-to-end

  • You can guide models and extract natural performances

  • You understand casting — the right face matters

  • Bad direction kills good content. You know this.


Content Systems

  • You don't think in one-off content

  • You build repeatable formats

  • You can take one idea and expand it into multiple executions

  • Consistency > random brilliance


Visual & Brand Sense

  • You can maintain a consistent brand language

  • You understand minimal, premium aesthetics

  • You know when to do less — not more


Influencer & Talent Understanding

  • You can identify the right creators and faces

  • You can reach out and collaborate

  • You understand who fits the brand — and who doesn't


Tools & Execution

  • Comfortable with Photoshop / Canva

  • Familiar with AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.)

  • Basic video editing understanding is a plus

Important: Tools can be learned. Taste cannot.


What We Care About

  • What you've made

  • How you think

  • What you notice that others miss


Important

  • We don't care where you studied

  • We don't care about degrees


Context

We've grown 10x in 2 years without deep structure. Now we are building:

  • Systems

  • Culture

  • Standards


You will help define all of it.
