UGC editor

About the role

I run UGC campaigns for a roster of app and DTC clients, and I need a reliable editor to turn raw creator footage into scroll stopping short form ads. This starts as 7 videos per week at least with room to grow into a long term retainer if the work is strong.

What you'll be doing

Editing 15 to 60 second vertical videos from raw creator footage. That means tight pacing, punchy cuts, clean captions, b-roll and screen recording overlays, sound design, and hooks that hold attention in the first two seconds. You'll work from briefs and scripts I provide, and deliver in 9:16 ready for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.

Requirements

Proven experience editing UGC style ads, not just vlogs or general content
A portfolio of short form work you personally edited
Strong caption and text on screen work, on brand and readable on mobile
Comfortable with fast turnaround, typically 24 to 48 hours per batch
Clear communication and the ability to take revision notes without back and forth
Software: Premiere Pro, CapCut, After Effects, or equivalent

Nice to have

Experience editing for app installs or performance driven campaigns
Understanding of what makes a hook retain, not just what looks good
Ability to cut multiple variations of one piece of footage for testing

How to apply

Please include:

Three to five links to short-form videos you edited yourself, ideally UGC ads
Your rate per video and your typical turnaround time
The software you edit in
