Performance Creative QA Lead

Performance Creative QA Lead — Remote, South Africa
About AdBlend
AdBlend is a performance creative agency producing high-volume Meta and TikTok advertising for leading DTC brands. We create new ads every week across formats including UGC, street interviews, podcast-style ads, product demonstrations, direct-response videos and static creative.
We’re looking for a highly detail-oriented Performance Creative QA Lead to review ads before they are delivered to clients.
About the Role
You will be the final set of eyes on every ad produced by our editing team. Your responsibility is to make sure each ad follows the approved script, meets the client’s brand guidelines, looks polished and is ready to launch.
This is not primarily an editing position. You will review creative, identify problems and provide editors with clear, actionable revision notes.
Responsibilities
Review Meta and TikTok ads submitted by video editors
Ensure every ad follows the approved script and creative direction
Check pacing, hooks, captions, music, graphics, audio and overall visual quality
Confirm offers, product claims, pricing and calls to action are accurate
Ensure ads comply with client brand guidelines and platform requirements
Catch spelling errors, awkward cuts, missing footage and inconsistent formatting
Give editors precise, actionable feedback
Approve final ads before they are delivered to clients
Track recurring mistakes and help improve our creative QA process
Manage multiple brands and deadlines within a fast weekly production schedule
What We’re Looking For
2+ years of experience reviewing or producing paid-social creative
Strong understanding of direct-response Meta and TikTok ads
Excellent visual judgment and attention to detail
Strong English writing, spelling and communication skills
Ability to give concise and constructive creative feedback
Familiarity with video-editing terminology and workflows
Ability to manage a high volume of creative without sacrificing quality
Reliable, organized and comfortable working independently
Based in South Africa
Bonus Qualifications
Experience at a performance creative or DTC advertising agency
Hands-on experience with Premiere Pro, CapCut or After Effects
Experience reviewing UGC and short-form video advertising
Familiarity with project-management and review tools such as ClickUp, Frame.io or Slack
Understanding of Meta advertising policies
Schedule
This is a full-time remote position. Most work can be completed during South African business hours, but some overlap with the AdBlend team in Los Angeles will be required.
Compensation
$2,500–$3,500 USD per month, depending on experience and demonstrated ability.
How to Apply
Please submit:
Your résumé
Examples of paid-social ads you have worked on or reviewed
A short explanation of your experience with Meta or TikTok advertising
A brief Loom video reviewing one paid-social ad and explaining what you would improve
Qualified applicants will complete a paid practical assessment involving the review of several AdBlend ads.
