• Edit UGC and product footage into high-performing social ads
• Create strong hooks in the first 1-3 seconds

• Create variations of winning ads with new hooks and creative angles
• Use AI to generate supporting images, video, B-roll, and voiceovers
• Research current TikTok and Instagram trends, sounds, formats, and editing styles
• Bring creative ideas instead of relying on step-by-step instructions

What We're Looking For

• Experience editing TikTok, Instagram, UGC, or paid social ads
• Strong understanding of hooks, retention, pacing, and CTAs
• Ability to make branded content feel native to social media
• Awareness of current TikTok and Instagram trends
• Strong attention to detail
• Comfortable experimenting with new AI tools
• Able to work independently and meet deadlines
• Someone who reviews their own work before submitting it
• Someone who cares about whether a video performs, not just whether it looks polished

We are not looking for someone who simply cuts clips together. We want an editor who understands why content works and how to make it better.

This is intended to be a long-term role with opportunities for increased compensation, responsibility, and creative ownership as you grow with us.
