AI Video Editor

We’re looking for a high-level AI Video Editor to join our team full-time (40+ hours/week) creating performance-focused video ads for D2C/e-commerce brands.

This is not a traditional editing role. You should already be heavily using AI in your workflow and know how to combine AI-generated video/images, voiceovers, music, existing footage, and traditional editing.

• What We're Looking For

You should have experience with tools such as:

• Higgsfield
• ElevenLabs
• Kling / Seedance
• HeyGen
• Suno
• AI agents/workflows
• AI image & video generation
• Premiere Pro / After Effects / CapCut

You don't need to use every tool listed, but you should be highly proficient with modern AI creative tools.

Previous D2C/e-commerce editing experience is required.

You should understand direct-response advertising, hooks, UGC, VSLs, pacing/retention, B-roll, voiceovers, captions, sound design, and creating variations of winning ads.

We care about performance and retention, not just making videos look cinematic.

• Compensation

This is a 40+ hour/week, long-term position, but you are paid based on output rather than hourly.

$20 per approved finished minute.

3-minute video = $60
10 finished minutes = $200
50 finished minutes = $1,000
100 finished minutes = $2,000

Our current editors are typically earning around $3,000–$4,000/month, and we're continuing to grow our creative output. There is plenty of room to earn more as volume increases.

The faster you can produce great work without sacrificing quality, the more you can earn.

• Don't Apply If

• You don't have D2C/e-commerce experience
• You've barely used AI video tools
• You need to be taught these tools from scratch
• You can't consistently commit 40+ hours/week
• You need constant supervision
• You prioritize speed over quality

We want someone fast, resourceful, creative, and obsessed with AI who is constantly testing new tools and workflows.

• How to Apply

Start your application with HIGGS as Subject so we know you read the entire post.

Then answer:

1. Send 3 of the best D2C ads you've personally edited.

2. Which AI tools do you currently use regularly?

3. Walk us through your workflow for creating a 3-minute D2C ad when given a script and brand assets.

4. How many finished minutes of high-quality video can you realistically produce per week?

5. Are you available 40+ hours/week and comfortable with $20 per approved finished minute?

6. Send your best example of something you've created using AI.

• Trial Task

Final candidates will be required to complete one trial editing task based on a brief we provide.

For the trial, we will NOT provide logins to our AI tools or accounts. You will need to use your own accounts/tools to complete the trial. We cannot provide company account access to every applicant completing a trial.

Once hired, all necessary AI tools and software will be paid for/provided by us. You will not be expected to personally pay for the tools required to do your job.

Please only apply if you're comfortable with this process.

We're looking for someone who wants to become a core, long-term member of our creative team. Generic applications will be ignored.
