## ABOUT THE ROLE

Happy Money is hiring a Creative Marketing Manager to own creative and content across every channel we market in. The role is equal parts strategist and maker. You'll set creative direction, then do the hands-on writing, designing, shooting and editing to get it live. You'll be our lead designer across happymoney.com, paid social, paid search, lifecycle email, direct mail and organic social, and the on-camera face of Happy Money in short-form video for Instagram Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts. Your biggest focus will be telling our customers' stories: how people paid off debt and made progress toward their goals. You'll join as Happy Money rolls out a refreshed visual identity and help set how it shows up everywhere. You'll also own how that creative performs, from the first line of a page or the first second of a video to the click, and use the results to decide what to make next. You care about how a brand looks and feels, and when an ad works, you want to know why.

## RESPONSIBILITIES

- Own creative strategy and execution across happymoney.com, paid social, paid search, lifecycle email, direct mail and organic social, with a documented content strategy, content calendar and roadmap tied to acquisition and brand goals
- Own creative performance across the funnel, from hook to message to call to action: define success metrics and a testing plan before each launch, decide what to scale, cut or iterate on, and bring a new direction when a format plateaus
- Design creative for every channel as Happy Money's primary in-house designer, including paid ads, direct mail pieces, email hero images and templates, landing pages and organic social
- Set Happy Money's creative standard as our new visual identity rolls out, working within brand guidelines
- Create content and creative for happymoney.com, including landing pages, articles, guides and product pages, and partner with SEO/AEO so it performs in search and AI answers
- Lead Happy Money's organic social presence on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube, and engage with followers in partnership with Customer Support
- Appear on camera as the face of Happy Money's social channels, in content like a 30-second explainer video on APR versus interest rate
- Plan, script, shoot and edit short-form video for Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts, and adapt paid creative so it feels native to organic and web
- Tell customer impact stories through photo and video, interviews and user-generated content, and help share employee stories on our social channels
- Build and manage a creator and influencer program, from finding and contracting partners to writing briefs and scripts and tracking results
- Build and maintain a library of photos, video, graphics and licensed stock imagery, organized so the team can quickly find approved assets for campaigns
- Evaluate and set up the tools, partners and AI-assisted workflows the creative function needs, including video editing and UGC platforms
- Write clear briefs and run feedback loops with agencies, freelancers and creators
- Coordinate with Communications on email, long-form copy and scripts so messaging stays consistent across channels
- Bring compliance in early, move work through legal, compliance and bank partner review, and set up a faster path for time-sensitive organic posts
- Balance creative priorities across acquisition, lifecycle, brand and product when requests compete
- Track performance through dashboards and a weekly review covering impressions, engagement, site traffic and applications, and share results and what customers are saying with marketing leadership, product and lifecycle teams

## WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

- Creative improves acquisition efficiency and engagement, measured by CPA, CTR, conversion rate, engagement rate and applications
- Day-to-day design for paid, email, direct mail, web and social is produced in-house
- Happy Money’s web pages carry fresh, on-brand content and creative that supports conversion and search visibility
- A steady testing cadence across channels, with learnings documented and winning concepts turned into repeatable formats
- Organic social audiences and engagement grow quarter over quarter, with customer impact stories and on-camera explainers as a regular part of the mix
- A creator and influencer program is running, with partners in place and results tracked against clear goals
- The team works from an organized library of approved assets, and campaigns launch faster because of it

## ABOUT YOU

- 5+ years in graphic design, creative or content marketing, in-house or at an agency, with experience owning both strategy and execution
- A portfolio with a mix of short-form and long-form work, including paid ads, email, direct mail or print, web content and video you shot, edited or appeared in, that tells a clear story visually
