Senior Video Editor - Freelance

Location: Fully Remote
Commitment: Freelance
Experience: 2+ years in video editing for DTC/E-commerce brands
Reports to: Head of Creative + Brand
Company: Thesis

About Thesis:
The human brain is the most complex object in the universe, yet society has accepted one-size-fits all approaches to cognition. The “solutions” (think coffee, energy drinks, and even a friend’s rx) were mediocre at best and frankly, made no sense to us. So, we created Thesis, the world’s first customized nootropics company. If you’ve never heard that word before, it’s just a fancy way of saying brain supplements. In five years, most will be taking nootropics on the daily and chances are, they’ll be ours.

With an exceptional efficacy rate, the world has taken notice - we've raised over $14M in venture capital, garnered interest from leading neuroscientists and athletes, and established ourselves as an industry-leading brand. We partner with exceptional independent creative talent to help us share the gift of enhanced cognitive function with the world.

What we’re looking for:

You have 2+ years experience in video editing
You’ve worked on video ads for DTC and E-commerce brands
You’ve produced high-performing video ads such as UGC ads, podcast ads, AI ads, etc.
You’re fluent in English and are confident communicating on calls (both internally and externally)
You’re open minded and willing to learn
You’re able to take feedback and use your initiative to manage video revisions
You communicate proactively like telling a manager when you have a problem and your output will be delayed
You use Instagram/TikTok in your free time… sometimes you feel you spend a bit too much time on there - but at least you know the platform well!
You’ll be creating the video ads that help drive our growth. This is a hands-on creative role where you’ll have the opportunity to experiment, move fast, and see your work reach a massive audience.
Create high-performing video ads for paid social channels including Meta, TikTok, and YouTube, turning raw footage and ideas into content that grabs attention and drives action.
Collaborate closely with our Creative team to bring new concepts to life, iterate on winning ads, and constantly find ways to make our creative better.
Own your edits from start to finish, making sure every video is polished, on-brand, and ready to launch on time.
Stay obsessed with what’s working. Keep a pulse on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and the broader paid social landscape to spot emerging trends, formats, hooks, and creative ideas before they become stale.
Experiment constantly. Test new hooks, cuts, formats, storytelling approaches, and creative angles to uncover the next big winner.

Learn from performance. This isn’t just about making great-looking videos. You’ll see how your creative performs in the real world and use that feedback to make the next round even stronger.

How We Work Together

We’re a collaborative, high-ownership team that cares much more about the quality and impact of your work than where you’re sitting or how many hours you’re staring at your screen.
Slack: Our home base for communication, collaboration, quick feedback, and an appropriate amount of GIFs and memes.
Team Calls: Regular check-ins keep everyone connected and aligned, along with creative training and opportunities to learn from each other.
Team Hours: We ask everyone to have at least three hours of overlap each day so we can collaborate live when needed. Outside of that, you’ll have flexibility in how you structure your day.
Freedom + Accountability: No screen monitoring. No time tracking. No micromanagement. We trust talented people to do great work and hold themselves accountable.

Performance Matters: Ultimately, we care about making exceptional creative that performs at scale. You’ll have the freedom to experiment, learn quickly, and keep raising the bar.
