Direct Response Video Editor (AI + UGC Ads)

We're a growing DTC skincare brand running paid ads on Meta. We're looking for a full-time video editor who understands direct response — not just someone who can cut clips, but someone who knows why a hook works, why a viewer is still watching at second 3, and what makes someone actually buy.

You'll be producing AI and UGC ad creatives every week. We test a lot, so speed and volume matter as much as polish.

WHAT YOU'LL BE EDITING

Short-form direct response ads for Meta (15-60s)
Long-form VSLs (3-10 minutes)
Animated ad formats: Pixar-style 3D, claymation, stop-motion look, and other stylized concepts
UGC and creator footage
Fully AI-generated ads built from scratch

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Cut multiple hook variations from the same body footage for testing
Generate AI footage, avatars, voiceovers, and scenes
Add captions, sound design, music, text overlays, zooms, pattern interrupts
Repurpose winning ads into new angles and formats

AI TOOLS — YOU MUST KNOW THESE

Kling
Seedance
Nano Banana Pro
Google Flash / Veo
HeyGen
ElevenLabs

If you've only used one or two of these, that's fine — but you need real hands-on experience, not "I watched a tutorial." You should be able to tell me what you use each one for.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

2+ years editing video, with at least 1 year on paid social ads (not weddings, not corporate, not vlogs)
You understand direct response: hook, problem, agitation, mechanism, proof, offer, CTA
Fluent in Premiere Pro, After Effects, or CapCut
Obsessed with video quality — you notice when something looks cheap and you fix it
You keep up with trends. You know what's working on Meta right now, and what AI tools came out this month
Open-minded and coachable. You take feedback without ego and you improve every single day
Strong written English and reliable daily communication
Fast turnaround, comfortable producing 5-10+ variations per week
Own computer that can handle video editing + stable internet

NICE TO HAVE

Experience with beauty or skincare brands
Static ad design (Photoshop / Canva / Figma)
Basic understanding of Meta Ads Manager and how creatives get tested
