Performance Video Editor

proot Clean is hiring a video editor who can make DTC ads that actually sell- not just look pretty.

You'll take raw creator footage, scripts, product B-roll, and briefs and turn them into scroll-stopping, thumb-stopping Facebook & Instagram ads that drive real purchases. If you've got an eye for hooks, pacing, and what makes people stop mid-scroll, we want to see your work.

This is NOT the role for you if: your background is mainly YouTube, corporate videos, weddings, or cinematic storytelling. We move fast, test constantly, and care about performance over polish.

You must have

• Strong Adobe Premiere Pro skills
• Real experience editing Facebook / Meta ads
• 1+ year editing ads for DTC/ecommerce brands or agencies
• A portfolio full of direct-response ads (not just "nice" videos)
• Sharp instincts for hooks, pacing, captions, B-roll, product demos, pattern interrupts, and retention
• Strong English communication and the ability to move fast on feedback

What you'll do

• Edit short-form DTC ads for Meta
• Turn raw creator footage into high-converting creative
• Find strong hooks and best moments from footage
• Add captions, B-roll, graphics, sound design, and pattern interrupts
• Create new iterations of winning ads
• Use performance feedback to improve future creative
• Work with our creative strategists through ---------- and ClickUp
• We produce a high volume of paid-social creative, so this is a great fit for someone who wants to get exceptionally good at performance advertising.

We produce a high volume of paid-social creative. If you want to get exceptionally good, fast, at performance advertising, this is the place to do it.

Compensation

• Base: $1,800 + USD/month Negotiable based on region
• Performance Bonus: You'll work in a creative pod with 1 strategist and 3–4 editors. When creative from your pod generates qualifying ad spend, the team earns additional compensation.
• Quarterly Bonus: Up to $500 for exceptional ownership, consistency, and contribution.

This is a full-time role, and we ask that Uproot Clean be your only project.
