Track record of personally closing $2M+ in net-new annual revenue Deep understanding of TikTok, Meta, and the broader performance ecosystem Comfortable building pipeline and momentum independently.
Strong commercial judgment and negotiation skills WHO YOU ARE You think in revenue, not meetings.
You move with urgency and close with confidence.
You understand how creative performance impacts growth. You’re comfortable operating in ambiguity and building structure where none exists.
You want ownership - not just quota.
You know how to open doors — and close deals. WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS Performance creative is the growth lever most brands under-leverage — and the one that unlocks outsized media efficiency.
This role defines how Third scales that advantage across the market.
Not just through one-off deals.
Through disciplined, repeatable growth. LOCATION Remote COMPENSATION Competitive salary and bonus plan Powered by JazzHR
