About Us

---------- is a fast-growing, direct-to-consumer personal care brand built for men who want products that actually work. We're scaling hard through performance creative — video ads that stop the scroll, hold attention, and convert — and we're building out the in-house editing team that makes that happen.

We move fast, test constantly, and lean heavily on AI tools to produce more, better creative, faster. If you like a mix of craft and speed, this is your kind of team.

What We're Looking For

Manly is looking for a video editor who operates like a beast — not someone doing the bare minimum. We pay premium rates because we expect premium output. If you're looking for an easy gig, this isn't it. If you're someone who takes pride in your craft and wants to be paid like it, keep reading. What You'll Be Doing

• Producing 10 concepts per week as your standard output
• Editing across a range of high-performing ad formats: AI-generated ads, VSL (Video Sales Letters), UGC-style content, and more
• Working within a fast-paced creative pipeline, taking feedback and turning it around quickly
• Owning the quality of your edits from first cut to final delivery

Requirements

• Minimum 2 years of experience editing video, ideally in direct-response or performance marketing
• Comfortable and fast across AI, VSL, and UGC ad formats
• Strong storytelling and pacing instincts — you know what keeps someone watching
• Reliable, consistent, and able to hit weekly output targets without hand-holding
• Coachable — takes feedback and improves fast

Our Hiring Process

As part of our process, shortlisted candidates are asked to complete a short trial task before a final decision is made. This task is unpaid. If that's not something you're open to, that's completely fine — just let us know, no hard feelings. We just prioritize seeing real work in action wherever candidates are open to it.

Compensation

Base salary: competitive, paid to attract top-tier talent only.

Performance Bonus #1: Ad Spend Milestones (per ad)

Earn bonuses on any single ad based on how much spend it generates:

Ad Spend Reached: $15,000 | Bonus: $150
Ad Spend Reached: $50,000 | Bonus: $250
Ad Spend Reached: $100,000| Bonus: $500

Hit all three milestones on one ad and you've earned $900 from that single ad alone.

Performance Bonus #2: Consistent Overperformance

Beat the standard target (more than 10 concepts/week) consistently for a full month, and your base salary increases by 50%, paid out in the second half of that month or by month-end.

Performance Bonus #3: Quarterly Bonus

An additional 10% of your annual base salary, distributed across the 4 quarters of the year, paid out monthly.

Who We Want

We don't want slackers. We don't want bare-minimum energy. We're paying premium rates because we want the best editors in the game, people who treat their output like it's their own brand, who move fast, who make ads that actually convert.
