Job Description
Role Description
We’re not looking for a traditional video editor who spends a week polishing a single video. We’re looking for someone who can:
- Cut fast
- Test angles
- Edit with performance in mind
- Use AI tools to speed up production and scale output
If you’re the kind of editor who:
- Loves direct-response advertising and understands what makes people click, convert, and buy
- Uses tools like ChatGPT, Runway, Pika, or CapCut AI to ideate, generate, and iterate
- Can cut UGC-style videos, product demos, and testimonial mashups that drive real results
- Knows how to craft scripts and write copy for video concepts
- Moves fast, works smart, and doesn’t over-edit
Then you're our person.
Why This Role Exists
- Top DTC brands need performance creatives: Our clients expect videos that drive ROAS, not just views.
- AI is changing the game: Our best editors use AI to script, generate B-roll, and streamline editing workflows.
- We move fast: Slow editing timelines don’t work here. We test weekly and need high-output talent.
- We’re scaling: This role is mission-critical for our creative pods—and a chance to level up fast.
What You’ll Do
- Edit short-form direct response video ads for Meta, TikTok, and other paid social platforms
- Cut UGC, testimonials, founder-led videos, product showcases, etc.
- Use tools like CapCut, Premiere, After Effects, Runway, etc. to produce fast, high-performing content
- Leverage AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT, Pika, Descript, Runway) to script, edit, and ideate faster
- Source and organize footage, assets, hooks, and B-roll
- Collaborate with creative strategists and copywriters to bring performance concepts to life
- Create multiple variants of ads to test different hooks, CTAs, and offers
- Apply fast feedback cycles—edit, test, iterate, repeat
Qualifications
- 2–4+ years editing direct-response video ads for DTC brands
- Strong portfolio of high-converting paid social ads (Meta/TikTok)
- Strong understanding of how to craft scripts
- Experience writing copy for video concepts
- Fluency in CapCut, Adobe Premiere, or After Effects
- Experience with performance-driven storytelling—think in hooks, CTAs, value props
- Ability to work fast and stay organized across multiple projects
- Working knowledge of AI tools (Runway, ChatGPT, Pika, Descript, etc.)
- Solid written and verbal English
Requirements
- Motion graphics skills (AE, CapCut templates)
- Familiarity with Creative OS, Foreplay, AdCreative.ai, or Veed.io
- Basic color grading and sound editing
- Experience sourcing or directing UGC creators
- Understanding of Facebook ad angles, funnels, and buying psychology
Who You Are
- You’re fast: You cut 3–5+ high-quality edits per week. Speed and volume are your thing.
- You’re performance-driven: You know that every second counts and you cut with results in mind.
- You’re AI-curious: You don’t fear AI—you use it to work smarter and faster.
- You’re resourceful: You can take raw footage, stock, or UGC and spin it into a scroll-stopping ad.
- You love feedback: You’re coachable and hungry to improve every week.
- You’re reliable: You show up, hit deadlines, and take ownership.
