Performance Creative Designer

About Us

NoA Connect Finland is a performance marketing consultancy that helps ambitious brands grow through data-driven digital marketing. We’re part of The North Alliance (NoA), a Nordic network of leading agencies, and we share our Helsinki office with two other NoA agencies, Bob the Robot, one of Finland’s most awarded creative agencies and NoA Ignite, digital design & product company.

Since we opened our doors in 2019, we’ve believed that creative is the biggest lever in performance marketing. We’ve been proving it with clients and now we’re ready to bring that capability fully in-house.

The role

We’re looking for a hands-on, creatively versatile designer to join us part-time and help produce performance creative – the kind of ads that stop the scroll and drive real results.

This isn’t a role for someone who wants to spend months crafting a brand strategy. We work fast, we test, we iterate. You’ll launch an ad, look at what the data tells you, and use that to make the next one better. Then repeat. The creative process here is a loop, not a handoff and the best person for this role will find that genuinely exciting.

We’re open on format, 1 or 2 full days per week, or a combination of half-days. We’d love to hear what works for you.

What You’ll Do

• Design and produce paid social ads across formats, static, animated, and video
• Edit UGC footage from creators into polished, high-performing ads, shaping the hook, pacing, captions, and overlays while keeping that authentic feel intact
• Concept and write copy for ads in Finnish (and sometimes English)
• Review how your ads are performing - together with our consultants and use those insights to brief and produce the next iteration
• Collaborate with our consultants and strategists to turn data and briefs into creative that performs
  
  

What We’re Looking For

• Fluent Finnish, you’ll be writing and creating ads in Finnish, so native or near-native level is a must
• Solid graphic design skills and a genuine eye for what works in a feed, you’re comfortable in Figma and the Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator)
• Hands-on with video editing and motion. CapCut for fast social-first edits, and After Effects or Premiere Pro when more is needed
• Comfortable reading basic ad performance data, you don’t need to be an analyst, but you should be able to look at what worked, form a view on why, and let that shape your next creative decisions
• A genuine interest in marketing and what makes advertising effective, not just what looks good
• Ability to work independently, move fast, and manage several briefs at once
  
  

Nice to have

• Experience in data-driven creative or digital marketing, you understand that an ad isn’t finished when it’s launched, it’s finished when you’ve learned from it
• Experience editing UGC content into ads, knowing how to build a strong hook from raw creator footage, without losing what made it feel real
• Copywriting ability, we don’t need a professional copywriter, but someone who can write a punchy Finnish headline goes a long way
  
  

Tools we use

Figma

• Adobe Photoshop
• Adobe Illustrator
• After Effects
• Premiere Pro
• CapCut
  
  

Why this role is worth your attention

Performance creative is one of the most exciting, and most in-demand, capabilities in digital marketing right now. You’d be joining a team that’s at the forefront of it in Finland, working alongside sharp performance marketing consultants who’ll help you understand what actually drives results.

And because we share an office with Bob the Robot, you’d be doing this in one of the most creative environments in the country.

We’re being honest: this starts part-time. But if it’s a good fit for both of us, the goal is to grow into a full-time role. We’d rather start right than rush it.

The office

We’re based in Kruununhaka, one of Helsinki’s most charming neighbourhoods. Here’s what comes with it:

• Daily breakfast
• Gym & sauna
• Great coffee
• Snacks & drinks
• Fridge always stocked
