  • Creative Production & Contractor Management: Develop the concept, copy, scripts and visual direction for each test, and write detailed Jira briefs for internal artists and contractors. Own the production timeline: assign briefs based on format and contractor availability, manage deadlines and feedback rounds, and review deliveries through final approval. Prepare final assets for launch, set naming conventions and handoff to Growth Marketers.

  • Budget Management: At month end, review contractor invoices, keep the Budget Tracker accurate and follow through on payment with Accounting. 

  • Cultural Adaption: Adapt winning concepts across LATAM geos, ensuring creatives resonate culturally and carry the correct market-specific legal requirements.

  • Cross-Functional & Partner Alignment: Stay close to Brand (campaigns, events), Product (launches and updates) and Customer Research (new insights). Join partner meetings and develop growth and creative initiatives that help partners activate Tala and grow their programs.

  • Global Working Culture: Support creative production across several countries, with an interest in global customer insights and occasional flexibility with late start or late finish hours when working with US and Asia teams.

  • Strong understanding of marketing principles, brand strategy, and consumer behavior.
  • Fluent Spanish and English, with the ability to write natural Spanish copy.
  • Experience managing freelance or contractor creative production, timelines and budgets.
