Performance Creative QA Lead

About AdBlend

AdBlend is a performance creative agency that specializes in producing a high volume of paid advertising content on platforms such as Meta and TikTok. Working predominantly with leading direct-to-consumer (DTC) brands, the agency creates diverse ad formats including user-generated content (UGC), street interviews, podcast-style ads, product demonstrations, direct-response videos, and static images. New ads are generated weekly to meet client needs.

Role Overview

The Performance Creative QA Lead acts as the final reviewer for all advertisements produced by the video editing team before client delivery. The primary responsibility is to ensure each advertisement fully complies with the approved script, client brand standards, and visual quality benchmarks. This role focuses on quality assurance rather than video editing, providing clear, actionable feedback for revisions to editors.

Key Responsibilities

• Carefully review Meta and TikTok advertisements provided by video editors.
• Verify adherence of ads to approved creative direction and scripts.
• Assess key elements like pacing, hooks, captions, music, graphics, audio quality, and overall visuals.
• Validate accuracy of promotional offers, product claims, pricing, and calls to action.
• Ensure conformity with client brand guidelines and platform requirements.
• Identify errors such as spelling mistakes, awkward edits, missing footage, and inconsistent formatting.
• Provide precise, constructive editorial notes for improvement.
• Approve final ads prior to client delivery.
• Monitor repeated errors and collaborate to enhance QA processes.
• Manage multiple client brands and meet strict weekly production deadlines.

Candidate Profile

• A minimum of two years' experience in reviewing or producing paid social media creatives.
• Strong knowledge of direct-response advertising on Meta and TikTok platforms.
• Exceptional visual discernment and meticulous attention to detail.
• Excellent command of English including writing, spelling, and clear communication.
• Ability to deliver concise, constructive creative feedback.
• Familiarity with video editing terminology and related workflows.
• Capacity to handle a significant volume of creative material without sacrificing quality.
• Dependable, well-organized, and self-directed work style.
• Must be based in South Africa.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience within a performance creative or DTC advertising agency environment.
• Hands-on use of video editing tools such as Premiere Pro, CapCut, or After Effects.
• Expertise reviewing UGC and short-form video advertisements.
• Proficiency with project management and review software like ClickUp, Frame.io, or Slack.
• Good understanding of Meta’s advertising policies.

Work Schedule

This is a full-time remote position based in South Africa. Work hours generally align with South African business hours, although occasional overlap with the Los Angeles team is necessary.

Compensation

The salary range offered for this role is USD 2,500 to USD 3,500 per month, dependent on experience and demonstrated skills.

Application Instructions

Applicants should submit a résumé, examples of paid-social ads they have reviewed or contributed to, an explanation of their Meta and TikTok advertising experience, and a short Loom video reviewing a paid-social ad outlining potential improvements. Selected candidates will be required to complete a paid practical assessment involving review of several AdBlend ads.
