Job Description

We're not looking for a traditional editor who spends days polishing a single video.

We're looking for a performance-driven video editor who can move fast, test angles, and scale output - and who can also create high-converting static ads when needed .

This is a hybrid role where video is the core , but the ability to design static creatives adds leverage and speed to our creative pods.

If you're the kind of creative professional who:

  • Thinks in hooks, CTAs, and conversion (not just visuals)
  • Can edit UGC-style videos, testimonials, and product demos fast
  • Can also put together clean, effective static ads for paid social
  • Uses AI tools (ChatGPT, Runway, CapCut AI, etc.) to increase output
  • Moves fast, iterates quickly, and doesn't over-polish

Then you're our person.

⚡ Why This Role Exists

  • Creative volume wins: Our clients need both video and static ads to test fast and scale what works
  • Hybrid creatives = leverage: Being able to execute both formats increases speed and output per pod
  • AI is changing workflows: We use AI to ideate, script, and produce faster than ever
  • We move fast: Weekly testing cycles require high-output creatives
  • We're scaling: This is a key role to help us produce more winning creatives, faster

What You'll Do

Video (Primary Focus)

  • Edit short-form direct response video ads for Meta, TikTok, and other platforms
  • Cut UGC, testimonials, product demos, and founder-led content
  • Create multiple video variations (hooks, CTAs, angles) for testing
  • Use editing tools like CapCut, Premiere, etc (your choice)
  • Leverage AI tools (ChatGPT, Pika, Descript, Runway) to speed up workflows
  • Craft scripts and write copy for video concepts

Static Ads (Secondary but also very important)

  • Design high-converting static ad creatives for paid social
  • Use templates and systems (e.g., Butter, Creative OS) to move fast
  • Adapt competitor inspiration and swipe files into on-brand ads
  • Create multiple variations for testing (headlines, layouts, offers)

Collaboration & Execution

  • Work closely with strategists and growth team to execute concepts
  • Source and organize assets (UGC, stock, hooks, B-roll)
  • Iterate quickly based on performance and feedback
  • Deliver high-volume output without sacrificing effectiveness

✅ What You Bring

Must-Haves

  • 2+ years editing direct-response video ads for DTC brands
  • Strong portfolio of high-performing paid social video ads
  • Solid experience creating static ads for Meta
  • Proficiency in an editing tool like CapCut, Premiere, and/or After Effects
  • Working knowledge of Photoshop 
  • Strong understanding of performance marketing (hooks, CTAs, angles)
  • Experience writing or adapting copy for ad creatives
  • Familiarity with AI tools (ChatGPT, Runway, Pika, etc.)
  • Ability to work fast and manage multiple projects
  • Strong English communication skills

Nice-to-Haves

  • Motion graphics skills
  • Experience with Creative OS, Foreplay, Butter or AdCreative.ai
  • Understanding of funnels, offers, and paid social strategy

Who You Are

  • Performance-driven. You care about conversions, not just aesthetics
  • Fast. You can produce several creatives per week consistently
  • Versatile. You can switch between video and static when needed
  • AI-curious. You use tools to increase speed and output
  • Resourceful. You can turn raw assets into winning creatives
  • Coachable. You iterate fast and improve with feedback
