Direct Response Video Editor for DTC | $1300 + Big Bonuses

We’re looking for a talented video editor to join our team long term and create high-performing video ads for a fast-growing DTC brand.

This is not a role for someone who simply knows how to make videos look good.

We’re looking for an editor who understands retention, viewer psychology and performance creative. You should be able to think about why a certain clip, cut, visual, sound effect, pattern interrupt or animation is being used and how it helps keep the viewer watching.

What we’re looking for

• Strong video editing skills
• Experience working with DTC / e-commerce brands
• Good understanding of retention and viewer psychology
• Ability to turn scripts and creative briefs into engaging ads
• Understanding of direct response advertising is a big advantage
• Strong attention to pacing, hooks, storytelling and keeping viewers engaged
• Ability to take feedback and improve quickly
• Reliable communication and turnaround times

AI experience is very important

You should be comfortable working with modern AI creative tools and generating assets yourself.

Experience with tools such as:

• Kling
• ElevenLabs
• Seedance
• Nano Banana Pro
• Higgsfield
• HeyGen
• Similar AI image, video and voice-generation tools

You don’t necessarily need to have used every single tool listed above, but you should be very comfortable with AI workflows and able to learn new tools quickly.

Paid trial

Before moving into a long-term position, we’ll start with a few paid trial tasks so we can see your creative thinking, editing quality and understanding of retention.

Trial tasks will usually pay around $50-$70 per video, depending on the complexity.

Long-term opportunity

We are looking for someone we can work with consistently over the long term, not a freelancer for one or two videos.

There is significant opportunity to grow with us if your work performs well.

💰 UNCAPPED PERFORMANCE BONUSES

In addition to your normal pay, you can earn bonuses for every video that hits our performance KPIs.

These bonuses are not capped.

If multiple videos you create become winners, you can earn a bonus on each of them. Strong editors who consistently produce winning creatives therefore have the opportunity to earn significantly more than their base compensation.

We want editors to think like creative partners, not just people completing editing tasks. If your creative work helps us scale, we want you to benefit from that as well.

When applying

Please send:

1. Your best 3-5 examples of DTC / e-commerce video ads
2. A short explanation of your experience with AI video generation
3. Which AI tools you currently use
4. Any experience you have with direct response advertising
5. Your typical turnaround time for a 30-90 second ad

Please do not send a generic application. We’re specifically looking for editors who understand that great ad editing is about keeping attention and driving performance, not just making something visually attractive.
