Ecommerce Video Editor

We’re a growing Shopify brand looking for a video editor who understands e-commerce ads that actually sell, not just pretty edits. You’ll create scroll-stopping video creatives for Meta (Facebook /Instagram) and TikTok, using both traditional editing and AI tools.

What you’ll do

Edit ad creatives (UGC-style, product demos, unboxings, testimonials, hook variations)
Research competitor ads on Meta Ad Library and TikTok Creative Center, and break down what’s working (hooks, angles, formats)
Recreate winning formats for our products, and pitch fresh ad ideas of your own
Produce AI-assisted content: AI avatars, voiceovers, product visuals and B-roll
Create multiple hook and CTA variations for testing
Deliver in the right formats (9:16, 1:1, 4:5) with captions and on-brand styling

Must-have skills

Proven experience editing ads for e-commerce or D2C brands (please share ads you’ve made)
Hands-on with AI tools: Higgsfield (AI video/image generation), HeyGen (AI avatars), ElevenLabs (AI voiceovers), plus similar tools
Strong editing skills in Premiere Pro, CapCut, After Effects or DaVinci Resolve
Comfortable using Meta Ad Library to find and analyze competitor ads
Understanding of ad structure: hook in the first 3 seconds, problem → solution, social proof, clear CTA
Able to work fast and handle feedback without ego

Nice to have

Basic understanding of ad metrics (hook rate, CTR, ROAS)
Scriptwriting for UGC ads
Motion graphics and kinetic captions

Trial task (required)
Every shortlisted candidate must complete a trial task before we hire. This is how we confirm you can genuinely use the tools, not just list them on your profile. The trial will include:

Finding 3 competitor ads from Meta Ad Library in our niche and explaining in a few lines why each one works
Creating one 15–30 second ad for our product using at least two of the tools above (e.g. a HeyGen avatar with an ElevenLabs voiceover, or Higgsfield-generated visuals)
Giving us 3 alternative hooks for the same ad

Candidates who skip the trial or can’t show their process won’t be considered.
