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.
