Job description

Overview

Direct message the job poster from Santevia. You own creative at Santevia, end to end. You translate brand strategy into platform-native stories, run the creator / UGC pipeline, and turn insights into briefs that ship fast. Your assets win in paid, perform in social, and keep our content engine moving. You plan the Instagram calendar and lead a weekly creative review. You don’t buy media. You enable it with organized, testable creative.

  • Keep Asana as the single source of truth for creative operations : Ideation → Brief → In Production → Review → Live → Results. Implement rules, automations and AI to increase efficiency.
  • Meet weekly creative needs (new concepts + cutdowns / variants).

  • Visual Design & Media : Experience in graphic design, photography, and video production / editing to produce high-quality visual content.
  • Performance-minded : Comfortable reading platform metrics (hook / hold, thumb-stop, CPA / CAC / MER) and running structured variation tests.
  • Project management : Runs Asana boards, calendars, and handoffs across external editors and internal design; hits weekly ship cadence.
  • Copywriting : Crisp short-form copy (hooks, captions, CTAs) that makes complex water / health concepts approachable while staying claim-safe.
  • Tool fluency : Asana, Google Workspace, platform analytics (Meta / TikTok), Canva / Adobe for light tweaks and layouts.
  • Compliance awareness : Understands health / wellness claim guardrails; knows when to escalate for review.
  • Highly organized & detail-oriented with excellent written and verbal communication.
  • LLM-native operator : Advocate and daily user of LLMs (ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, Llama, etc.) to improve process efficiency.
  • Hands-on capture : Competent phone-first shooting, framing, lighting, and basic audio; can produce quick lo-fi proofs or CapCut rough cuts.

    • Nice-to-haves

  • Retail & Health and Wellness experience : Ties content and community to store events, demos, and creator visits.
