Full-Time Video Editor (VSL + UGC) for Direct Response Ads

JOB TITLE: Full-Time Video Editor (VSL + UGC) for Direct Response Ads

SALARY: $800/month, rising to $1,000/month after a 3-month probation on hitting the output and quality bar
TYPE: Full time, remote
SCHEDULE: 40 hours/week, some overlap with our hours for feedback

ABOUT THE ROLE
We run direct response ads for health and supplement brands and we need one dependable editor who can turn scripts and raw footage into ads that actually convert. Two formats matter most:

1) MINI VSLs. Short, punchy video sales letters, 45 to 90 seconds, built for paid social. A tight hook in the first 3 seconds, a clear problem and mechanism, proof, and a clean call to action.

2) HIGH-ENGAGEMENT UGC WITH B-ROLL. Creator-style talking-head videos layered with supporting b-roll, text overlays, captions and pattern interrupts, in the style of the collagen ads we produce for our WellBe Kollagen brand (examples shared once you are shortlisted).

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Edit mini VSLs and UGC ads from provided scripts, footage and voiceover
• Cut for retention: strong hooks, fast pacing, kinetic captions, b-roll and overlays that hold attention
• Use AI tools to generate and enhance shots where we lack footage (see requirements)
• Produce clean vertical 9:16 and 4:5 exports, correctly sized and specced for Meta and TikTok
• Deliver a steady weekly volume of ads plus revisions, and keep files organised

MUST HAVE

• Proven editing experience with direct response or short-form ads, not wedding or corporate work (portfolio required)
• Strong grasp of hook, retention and pacing for paid social
• Fluent in a professional editor (CapCut, Premiere or DaVinci) with clean captioning and sound design
• Hands-on with AI creative tools, specifically Higgsfield and Nano Banana Pro and similar (AI image and video generation, AI b-roll, upscaling). Tell us which you have used and how
• Reliable, fast, communicative, comfortable with feedback and quick revisions
• Good written English

NICE TO HAVE

• Experience editing supplement, beauty or health ads
• Voiceover cleanup, light motion graphics, thumbnail and static design
• Understanding of what makes an ad win or lose on Meta

HOW TO APPLY
Please send:
1) 2 or 3 examples of mini VSLs or UGC ads you edited (links)
2) One example that used an AI tool, and a line on how you used it
3) Your weekly capacity (how many finished ads you can deliver)
4) Your setup (software, internet speed)

Shortlisted editors will be given one short paid test edit from a script and raw footage before an offer is made.
