About UBlockout

UBlockout makes verified 100% blackout window shades for customers across the United States. We're a growing direct-to-consumer brand with 30,000+ installs, an award-winning product and a creative team that tests new ad concepts every single week.

If you care about craft and you want your work to actually drive results, keep reading.

The role

We need someone who makes compelling and high-performing ads.

You'll cut short-form video and build static creative for Meta (reels, stories, feed) - the kind of work that stops a thumb mid-scroll.

You'll work closely with our digital marketing team and senior brand strategist, receiving briefs, turning them into polished assets, and iterating fast based on real performance data and direct feedback.

You can expect four to six briefs a week and priorities to shift. This is a fast-paced, hands-on role where you manage your own workload, bring fresh ideas to the table, and take ownership of every asset from brief to upload. We value people who challenge the brief when they see a better path forward.

If you're driven, hungry to learn and want real experience creating performance creative for a growing brand, we want to hear from you.

What you'll own

- Cut short vertical video ads optimized for Meta Reels, Stories, and Feed
- Build static ad creative in the same formats
- Produce 3-5 variants of each concept for A/B testing and campaign scaling
- Iterate on assets based on validated performance data and stakeholder feedback
- Upload and manage final assets in Meta Ads Manager




- Produce visual content and assets for the UBlockout website as needed

What you'll bring

Technical

- Proficiency in video editing software (Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, CapCut, or similar)
- Strong visual storytelling instinct - you know how to hook attention in the first second
- Understanding of ad creative formats and specs (aspect ratios, safe zones, platform-specific requirements)
- You've cut paid ads for brands, at any scale. Show us the numbers if you have them
- A portfolio or reel link

Delivery

- Lives and breathes social media - you're across trends before they peak, not after
- Creative and not afraid to challenge ideas or pitch unique concepts
- Thrives in a quick-paced environment - agile when priorities shift
- Strong task management - can juggle multiple briefs, hit deadlines, and stay organized without hand-holding
- Data-responsive - you look at what's working and adjust your creative approach accordingly
- Coachable, open to feedback, no ego
- Obsessed with improvement - always looking for ways to make things sharper and more effective

Must-haves

- Based in Australia or the US (Adelaide, SA strongly preferred)
- You have the right to work in your location
- You submit a reel or portfolio link with your application

Nice to have

- You can read CTR, CPM, and ROAS data and use it to inform creative decisions - not just define the acronyms
- Experience with DTC or eCommerce brands
- Interest in home products, sleep, or DIY
- After Effects experience

How we select

- Share your application. See "To apply".
- We'll interview you for 30 minutes.
- We'll pay you for a 90-minute test task: You'll receive a brief and video files to make three ads at 9:16 ratio with different hooks.

To apply , send these three items:

1. Your reel or portfolio link.
2. One short paragraph on the best ad you made and why it worked (maximum 100 words).
3. One concept that you think we should test. One paragraph or one sketch is enough.
