Job Description

We're not looking for a traditional video editor who spends a week polishing a single video.
We're looking for someone who can cut fast , test angles , and edit with performance in mind — all while using AI tools to speed up production and scale output .

If you're the kind of editor who:

  • Loves direct-response advertising and understands what makes people click, convert, and buy
  • Uses tools like ChatGPT , Runway , Pika , or CapCut AI to ideate, generate, and iterate
  • Can cut UGC-style videos , product demos , and testimonial mashups that drive real results
  • Knows how to craft scripts and write copy for video concepts
  • Moves fast, works smart, and doesn't over-edit

Then you're our person.

⚡ Why This Role Exists

  • Top DTC brands need performance creatives: Our clients expect videos that drive ROAS , not just views.
  • AI is changing the game: Our best editors use AI to script, generate B-roll, and streamline editing workflows.
  • We move fast: Slow editing timelines don't work here. We test weekly and need high-output talent.
  • We're scaling: This role is mission-critical for our creative pods—and a chance to level up fast.

What You'll Do

  • Edit short-form direct response video ads for Meta, TikTok, and other paid social platforms
  • Cut UGC, testimonials, founder-led videos, product showcases , etc.
  • Use tools like CapCut , Premiere , After Effects , Runway , etc. to produce fast, high-performing content
  • Leverage AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT, Pika, Descript, Runway) to script, edit, and ideate faster
  • Source and organize footage, assets, hooks, and B-roll
  • Collaborate with creative strategists and copywriters to bring performance concepts to life
  • Create multiple variants of ads to test different hooks, CTAs, and offers
  • Apply fast feedback cycles— edit, test, iterate, repeat

✅ What You Bring

Must-Haves

  • 2–4+ years editing direct-response video ads for DTC brands
  • Strong portfolio of high-converting paid social ads (Meta/TikTok)
  • Strong understanding of how to craft scripts
  • Experience writing copy for video concepts
  • Fluency in CapCut , Adobe Premiere , or After Effects
  • Experience with performance-driven storytelling — you think in hooks, CTAs, value props
  • Ability to work fast and stay organized across multiple projects
  • Working knowledge of AI tools (Runway, ChatGPT, Pika, Descript, etc.)
  • Solid written and verbal English

Nice-to-Haves

  • Motion graphics skills (AE, CapCut templates)
  • Familiarity with Creative OS , Foreplay , AdCreative.ai , or Veed.io
  • Basic color grading and sound editing
  • Experience sourcing or directing UGC creators
  • Understanding of Facebook ad angles , funnels , and buying psychology

Who You Are

  • You're fast. You cut 3–5+ high-quality edits per week. Speed and volume are your thing.
  • You're performance-driven. You know that every second counts and you cut with results in mind.
  • You're AI-curious. You don't fear AI—you use it to work smarter and faster.
  • You're resourceful. You can take raw footage, stock, or UGC and spin it into a scroll-stopping ad.
  • You love feedback. You're coachable and hungry to improve every week.

You're reliable. You show up, hit deadlines, and take ownership.
