Freelance Gate Keeper Jobs (NOW HIRING)

The Third Estimate is a family-owned exterior home improvement company serving Northeast Ohio with roofing, windows, siding, gutters, and doors. We are expanding into several new markets over the next 12 months while continuing to grow the market we already own, and we are hiring a Creative Production Manager to build the creative engine that makes that possible.

This is not a role where you wait for direction and push pixels. You will own the entire creative pipeline: the brief, the calendar, the quality bar, and the results. You will build the process that lets us open a new market with a complete, localized creative package live on day one and the following weeks already queued behind it, then run that process market after market.

What you will do

• Own creative intake, briefing, prioritization, and production across every active market
• Art-direct our creative marketing specialist and manage freelance support during launches
• Produce paid social and search creative, landing pages, print, direct mail, signage, video, and in-home sales material
• Gate every asset through QA: phone numbers, offers, certifications, review credentials, and brand standards
• Make sure every concept is built against a clear campaign objective, whether that is lead generation, brand awareness, or contact collection
• Review creative performance weekly and make kill, scale, or refresh calls
• Build the jobsite content pipeline that keeps our library full of real before and afters and customer stories

What we are looking for

• 4+ years in performance-driven creative production
• Experience directing another creative or managing freelancers on deadline
• Range across digital and physical media. You are as comfortable with a Meta ad set as a yard sign
• Adobe CC, Canva, WordPress/Elementor, and a project management tool
• A portfolio that shows what the work was built to do and whether it worked
• Home services, contracting, or high-ticket local services experience is a strong plus

What we offer

• $75,000 base plus performance bonus
• Health, dental, vision, PTO, 401(k)
• Real ownership of a function at a company that is actively growing
• A leadership team that measures marketing and will give you the data to prove your work
