  • Conversion-Focused Graphic Design (A/B testing visuals, strategic content repurposing).

  • Creative Tech Certification: Design and manage a robust certification pathway for mission-critical software: Canva Pro, CapCut, Adobe Express, and Meta Business Suite.

  • Agile Trend Integration: Establish a continuous system to audit and update the curriculum based on real-time platform algorithm changes and the latest conversion science.

II. Expert Coaching & Performance Elevation

You are the high-performance mentor, setting the quality bar and delivering critical feedback.

  • Virtual "Live-Fire" Workshops: Facilitate engaging, hands-on sessions focused on technical excellence, production quality, brand consistency, and immediate, conversion-focused design principles.
  • Data-Driven Critique: Conduct targeted 1:1 and group critiques, diagnosing creative weaknesses using performance data (CTR, CVR) and providing precise, actionable feedback for immediate improvement.
  • Define the Benchmark: Partner with Operations to relentlessly enforce the highest quality standards for all creative deliverables, from initial concept to final, client-ready asset.

What You Bring: The Specialist Who Can Both Do and Scale

We need a proven expert who can translate cutting-edge content strategy into clear, scalable, and reproducible learning paths for a remote, global audience.
