Job Title: Creative Video Editor
Location: Remote
Working Hours: 40 hours per week/Full-time
We’re looking to hire a high-output Creative Video Editor with a strategic mindset — someone experienced in editing raw UGC, lo-fi shoots, or founder-led videos into performance-driven creatives for Meta and TikTok ads.
This role is critical as we’ve recently onboarded several clients in paid media, and we need an editor who can handle high volumes (200+ short-form creatives/month). We’re hiring full-time and looking for someone who can scale fast, work with speed and structure, and understands what makes ads convert.
Key Responsibilities:
Video Editing & Asset Production
- Edit 40+ short-form ads weekly (approx. 200/month) using UGC, testimonials, founder videos, etc.
- Repurpose and iterate creatives based on hooks, CTAs, pain points, and product features.
- Create platform-native ads with fast cuts, native captions, transitions, memes, synced audio, etc.
- Design edits with a performance-first mindset (lower CAC, higher ROAS, faster testing).
Angle & Hook Strategy
- Brainstorm angles and hooks with our strategist/media team.
- Test different opening variations, video structures, and CTAs.
- Build off proven ad formats or trending creative concepts.
Creative Organisation
- Build a modular editing system (e.g., interchangeable hooks/intros) for scalable production.
- Maintain an organized project flow and editing library for quick access and versioning.
Feedback & Optimisation
- Review performance feedback (e.g., watch time, CTR, ROAS) provided by the media buying team.
- Iterate based on data — improve, refine, and outperform best-performing ads.
- Join occasional client calls to pitch fresh cuts or ad ideas.
Collaboration
Work closely with the media buyer and creative strategist.
Participate in quick alignment calls and brainstorming sessions.
Provide feedback on briefs or raw asset quality when necessary.
2–4 years of video editing experience, preferably in performance marketing or UGC-based content.
Proven ability to produce high volumes of short-form content (ideally 150–200+ per month).
Solid portfolio of direct-response ads or social media video content for platforms like Meta and TikTok.
Proficiency in CapCut, Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or DaVinci Resolve.
Strong understanding of creative testing — especially around hooks, CTAs, product highlights, and pain points.
Excellent time management and ability to work independently under tight deadlines.
Comfort with fast-paced environments and shifting creative priorities.
Ability to interpret performance data and optimize creatives accordingly.
Bonus: Experience working with DTC brands, content vault systems, or using AI tools to boost output.
You’re a Fit If You…
- Are fast, organized, and obsessed with output.
Have strong editing experience for Meta, TikTok, or UGC-driven brands.
- Know what makes an ad convert — storytelling, hooks, tension, CTAs.
- Love testing multiple versions and iterating quickly to find winners.
- Are proficient in CapCut, Adobe Premiere, Final Cut, or DaVinci Resolve.
- Use AI tools to scale editing output and maximize creative efficiency.
Bonus Points If You Have:
- Have experience working with DTC (Direct-to-Consumer) brands.
- Built or managed a content vault of UGC assets.
- Have an eye for meme-style content, lo-fi trends, and narrative voiceovers.
- Can write creative scripts or briefs when needed.
