• Evaluate, roll out, and train the team on AI-assisted creative workflows
• Build reusable systems and templates that reduce manual production work
• Translate performance data (CTR, CVR, CPA by concept and market) into concrete creative direction
• Partner with the user acquisition team, turning their data insights directly into creative direction
• Own localization QA across markets, formats, and networks
