Location In Canada, Mistplay follows a 2 days/week in-office hybrid model in Toronto (400 University Ave) and Montreal (1001 Blvd. Robert-Bourassa). Overview Creative Operations & Traffic Management: Serve as the operational hub for the department, triaging and prioritizing the daily intake of requests across DTC and B2B under the direction of the Creative Director. You don’t just manage tasks, you partner with internal stakeholders to refine briefs and ensure team bandwidth in Asana is always aligned with the departmental priorities set by leadership. Creative Performance & Optimization: Partner with the UA team to translate performance data into actionable ad concepts. Collaborate on the \"creative loop,\" testing and iterating on hooks, value props and bodies to ensure our assets are constantly evolving and resonating with our audience. Multi‑Channel & Web Production: Own the production lifecycle for all non-motion and down-funnel assets, from ads and sweepstakes to email campaigns. You will serve as the primary creative lead for our external web and ASO agencies, providing tactical design and copy feedback to ensure every touchpoint is cohesive, compliant, and optimized for conversion. Hands‑on Design & Execution: You aren’t afraid to get your hands dirty. You’ll personally handle some design tasks, jump into Figma to polish layouts, or troubleshoot files whenever the team needs an extra hand to get a high‑priority project across the finish line. Tactical Creative Review: Provide daily feedback to designers and copywriters. You aren’t just checking for what looks good or surface‑level brand alignment, you are the critical eye ensuring every asset is clear, legally compliant, and built to truly resonate with our players and publishers. Team Mentorship: Manage and coach a talented team of graphic designers and copywriters, fostering a culture of curiosity, rapid iteration, and accountability. Process Optimization: Continuously improve internal workflows to enable faster delivery. You’ll manage our asset libraries and templates to ensure the team spends less time on \"busy work\" and more time on high‑impact design.

You can jump into any file and fix it. Experience with gen‑AI tools (e.g., Midjourney, Adobe Firefly, Google Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude) and a genuine curiosity for adopting new AI technologies. Cross‑functional collaboration with internal teams. Team leadership, mentorship, and process optimization.
