Short-Form Video Editor for E-Commerce Ads/Store

🚧 Read the full job post or get ignored.

SUMMARY
We run a Q4 e-commerce store selling Christmas gifts. Products and page copy are done before they reach you. We need a short-form video editor who turns them into silent product page loops and video ads, and who finds their own footage. You do not pick products or write the offer.

A percentage of our Q4 revenue goes to a charity that buys Christmas gifts for kids whose parents cannot afford them. The ads you cut are directly upstream of that donation.

SKILLS YOU MUST HAVE

• Short-form e-commerce video editing: ads that actually ran on Meta, not showreels, weddings or corporate work
• Finding and grabbing your own footage cleanly: competitor and organic posts, supplier videos, creator content, stock. We film nothing and hand over no raw files
• Hook instinct: you can cut three different openings for the same product without being asked twice
• Clean exports: correct aspect ratios, no watermarks, usernames or platform UI in frame
• Captions and licensing-safe audio
• Working from approved copy without inventing new claims
• Strict file and batch naming

Nice to have: UGC-style editing, AI video or voiceover tools, ---------- , Shopify admin.

3. Send your best ad, with proof:

• the single best performing ad you have ever edited (social link with engagement, or the file)
