About Humbler

Humbler makes men's jewelry built around meaning: pendants, chains, rings, and bracelets inspired by faith, Stoic philosophy, and ancient warrior symbolism. Collections like Memento Mori, Veni Vidi Vici, and St. Michael are daily reminders to stay disciplined, put in the work, and live with purpose. Our ads need to make people feel that, fast.

The Role

We're looking for a fast, creative short-form editor to produce 15–50 ad videos per week for TikTok, Instagram Reels, Facebook , and YouTube Shorts. You'll work from creative briefs we send you, source the clips and audio yourself, and deliver scroll-stopping edits that convert. Every video goes through approval before it's paid and published.

What You'll Do

Edit 15–50 short-form vertical ads per week (typically 10–60 seconds) based on our creative briefs
Find and source b-roll, stock footage, and audio that match each brief and the brand's tone
Edit UGC-style ads that feel native and authentic, like a real customer talking, not a commercial
Create high-paced, cinematic edits with punchy cuts, sound design, speed ramps, beat-synced transitions, and bold text overlays
Write strong hooks in the first 1–3 seconds and keep retention high through the end
Apply Humbler's brand identity consistently: dark, masculine, faith-driven, and motivational, with a premium look that makes the jewelry the hero
Revise edits based on feedback until they're approved
Stay current on short-form trends, ad formats, and what's performing in the men's lifestyle and motivation space

What You Need

A portfolio of short-form ads or social content, with examples of both UGC-style and high-energy edits
Strong skills in Premiere Pro, After Effects, CapCut, DaVinci Resolve, or similar
Proven ability to work fast without sacrificing quality at high weekly volume
A sharp eye for hooks, pacing, and what makes people stop scrolling
Understanding of commercial licensing for music and footage (e.g., TikTok Commercial Music Library, licensed stock sites); ads can't use unlicensed trending audio
Reliable communication and the ability to hit deadlines consistently
Ability to take a brief and run with it, and to take feedback without ego

Nice to Have

Experience editing for DTC or e-commerce brands
Familiarity with paid social performance metrics (hook rate, CTR, ROAS)
Motion graphics and animated text skills
An eye for making product shots look premium (lighting, macro detail, gold/silver shine)

Compensation

$15 per approved video
Up to 50 videos per week (up to $750/week)
Videos are paid once approved; revisions are part of the process

How to Apply

Send your portfolio with at least 3 short-form ads (ideally one UGC-style and one high-energy edit), your preferred editing software, and how many videos you can realistically turn around per week.
