Full-Time Video Editor — Scaling DTC Supplement Brand (AI Video Production)

About Us

We're a direct-to-consumer supplement brand selling into the UK, Australia and North America, scaling profitably on Meta with performance creative. Every ad we run is built from a written brief and judged on the numbers. We're small, we move fast, and creative volume is our single biggest lever — which is why we're hiring.

This is not a brand-video job. We make direct response ads that have to stop a thumb and sell.

The Role

You'll take a written brief — the idea, a locked shot list, the customer it's aimed at — and turn it into a finished ad. The concepts come from us. Your job is to execute them well, fast, and consistently.

A big part of our production is AI-generated: you'll generate the footage yourself using AI video tools rather than filming or sourcing stock. If you've never touched those tools that's fine — you'll be trained. What we can't train is taste, pace, and following a brief exactly.

Long-term, remote, full-time. Starting rate $5/hour, rising once your hit rate is on target, plus performance bonuses from month two.

What You'll Do

Turn a written brief and shot list into a finished 9:16 ad (20s–3min)
Generate clips with AI video tools (Seedance, image models, AI voice) from the shot list you're given
Cut for pace and hook — the first 3 seconds d ---------- whether the ad works
Burn in captions, and get them frame-accurate to the spoken word
Build market variants of a winning ad (UK / AU / US versions of the same cut)
Quality-check your own work before it ships: broken frames, drifting captions, wrong offer claims
Deliver roughly 10 finished videos a week once you're up to speed
Re-cut when something comes back, without taking it personally

You Need

Real experience editing short-form direct response ads — UGC, testimonial, or VSL style
A portfolio of ads, not showreels. We want to see work that was made to sell something
The discipline to follow a brief precisely. We'll tell you what the shots are; we need them made, not reinterpreted
Comfort working in a browser and a dashboard — you'll be generating footage, not just editing it
Enough English to read a detailed brief and ask a good question when something's unclear
Reliability. A fixed weekly output matters more to us than an occasional brilliant edit

Nice To Have

You've used AI video generation before (Seedance, Kling, Veo, Runway, HeyGen — any of them)
You understand hook rate, hold rate and CVR and have edited against them
You've worked in supplements, health or beauty

What You'll Get

$5/hour to start, rising with performance
Bonuses paid on how your ads actually perform. We track every ad individually, so we know exactly which ones are yours and how they did. When an ad you cut becomes a winner and we scale it, you get paid for that — on top of your hourly rate. This starts from month two, once you know the pipeline
Fully remote, long-term, full-time
You work directly with the founder — no layers, fast decisions, quick feedback
Every brief you get is written out properly: the idea, the shot list, the customer, and exactly what would get it sent back. You will never be guessing what we want
Training on the AI production pipeline we've built

How to Apply

Put COMPASS at the top of your application so we know you read this.

Then send:

Two or three short-form direct response ads you personally edited — links, not attachments. Tell us which part was yours.
One sentence on the hook in your best one, and why you cut it that way.
Have you used any AI video generation tool? Which one, and what did you make with it? "No" is an acceptable answer.
Your weekly availability, in hours.

Applications without a portfolio link won't be reviewed. Shortlisted candidates get a short paid test brief — a real one, paid at the hourly rate.
