Single Grain is a Revenue Marketing agency. We build pipeline-focused systems that compound — not campaigns that expire. We've helped 500+ companies, from venture-backed startups to the Fortune 500, drive measurable growth, influencing billions in revenue with a 3.2x average ROI.

Our portfolio includes:

• Single Grain Agency — enterprise digital marketing services across SEO, paid media, creative, CRO, and AI-driven growth strategy.

• ClickFlow — our AI-powered content optimization platform that helps companies unlock hidden growth from their existing content by identifying high-impact SEO opportunities and improving rankings with AI insights.

• Karrot — a LinkedIn advertising and landing page platform built specifically for B2B companies running demand generation programs.

• Single Brain — the complete client operating layer: one agent interface for the human, one agent fleet commander for execution, an agent fleet of worker operators, and vertical specialists that handle the actual work.

We are evolving into a tech-enabled services (TES) company, where software, automation, and services combine to create leverage. Our CEO Eric Siu hosts the Leveling Up podcast and co-hosts Marketing School with Neil Patel, reaching millions of marketers and founders every month — a brand ecosystem most agencies don't have.

We are fully remote, and we operate as an AI-native team: every role at Single Grain is expected to use AI to increase speed, quality, and leverage.

Single Grain's creative has to move at the speed of the AI era, and the last thing we need is another specialist who only does one thing. This seat is built for a flexible, AI-empowered creative who moves fluidly between disciplines — motion, UGC-style video, static design, editing, and the strategy and copy behind them — and uses AI to combine them in one person's hands.

You take an idea from concept to a finished, in-market asset. One day that's a batch of motion ads, the next it's UGC edits and a set of statics, the next it's a script and a creative angle for a launch. You use AI workflows to cover ground that used to take a whole team, and you finish by hand where craft demands it. You build deep knowledge of our clients — their brands, their voice, what converts for them — so the work lands without a long brief. As the tools change month to month, you change with them.

• Take ideas from concept to finished asset across motion, UGC-style video, short clips, and static, flexing to whatever the week needs.

• Contribute to strategy and copy, not just execution: sharpen the angle, write the script, shape the message.

• Build and maintain AI-assisted workflows that let one person cover ground that used to take a team, without lowering the quality bar.

• Turn a single brief into a multi-format creative set (video plus static variants) ready for paid testing.

• Develop deep knowledge of our clients' brands, voice, and what converts, and bring it to every asset.

• Keep several client accounts supplied with fresh creative on campaign and event deadlines, prioritizing across them.

• Partner with paid media on what's fatiguing and what's winning, and turn it into the next round of variants.

• Evaluate new AI creative tools as they ship and fold the useful ones into the workflow.

• Genuine range across motion and motion graphics (After Effects, Premiere), video editing, and static design (Adobe Creative Suite, Canva) — multi-disciplinary, not a specialist who dabbles.

• Short-form and UGC-style video editing for social and paid — cutting creator, stock, and AI-generated footage into finished ads.

• Scriptwriting and a feel for strategy and copy — you can shape the message, not just lay it out.

• Working fluency with generative AI creative tools — AI video (Runway, Kling, Sora, Veo) and AI image (Midjourney, Gemini / nano-banana) — and the judgment to edit their output.

• At least a working base of Claude Code, and comfort building AI-assisted workflows.

You bring 3+ years in motion-forward creative production, with a portfolio and reel that show range across formats.

• You are flexible by default — you would rather cover design, video, and strategy than be boxed into one.

• You treat AI as the thing that lets you combine those disciplines in one seat, not a gimmick.

• You are relentlessly self-upgrading: when a new tool ships, you have already tried it by the time it comes up in a meeting.

• You hold a craft bar and know when AI output is good enough and when it needs your hands on it.

• You can shape an angle and write a tight script, not just execute someone else's brief.

• You move fast across several accounts and learn a client's brand deeply enough to work without a long brief.

• You share what you learn; your prompts and workflows make other people faster.

• Bonus: you can design and build landing pages (HubSpot) for message-matched post-click experiences.

You will report to the Creative Lead and work day-to-day with the paid media team, who run your creative in-market and bring back what is converting. You will coordinate with client-side production teams to get spokesperson and event footage shot to your scripts. You will mostly work through the account leads, with occasional direct client contact to present or align on creative.

• Not for a one-sided specialist. If you only design, only edit, only strategize, or only prompt, this is not the seat.

• Not purely manual and not purely AI. You need both — AI to move fast, hands to finish.

• Not a role that waits for a full brief. You learn the client and bring the idea.

• Not a single-account role. You keep several clients fed at once and prioritize across them.

• Not a set-and-forget toolset. The tools change constantly, and so must you.
