We’re looking for an AI Video Editor who knows how to turn creative briefs into high-performing paid social ads at speed.

This is a hands-on execution role for someone who already works with AI-generated video, UGC-style creatives, direct-response editing, and performance advertising. You’ll work closely with a Senior Creative Strategist, who will provide the angles, scripts, and creative direction. Your job is to turn those briefs into polished, ready-to-launch video ads.

This is not a creative strategy or media buying role.

What You’ll Do

  • Create high-performing video ads for Meta, TikTok, and other paid social channels
  • Generate AI video, UGC-style footage, product visuals, avatars, and supporting assets using tools such as Higgsfield, Kling, Veo, Seedance, Runway, ElevenLabs, and similar platforms
  • Edit raw and AI-generated assets into finished UGC, direct-response, VSL, and short-form ad creatives
  • Build multiple hooks, openings, cuts, pacing variations, and creative iterations from the same concept
  • Add captions, motion graphics, sound design, B-roll, transitions, product callouts, and other finishing elements
  • Work from scripts, references, and detailed creative briefs provided by the Senior Creative Strategist
  • Produce multiple high-quality creative variants every week for ongoing testing
  • Adapt winning concepts into new versions without losing the core creative strategy
  • Maintain a fast, organized production workflow and deliver consistently on deadline

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong hands-on experience producing paid social video ads
  • Experience with DTC, e-commerce, direct-response, or performance marketing
  • A portfolio containing real ads created for Meta, TikTok, or similar acquisition channels
  • Strong experience with AI video generation workflows
  • Hands-on experience with Higgsfield is highly preferred
  • Experience with tools such as Kling, Veo, Seedance, Runway, HeyGen, ElevenLabs, or similar
  • Strong editing skills in Premiere Pro, After Effects, CapCut, or comparable professional editing software
  • Experience creating UGC-style ads
  • VSL / Video Sales Letter experience is a strong advantage
  • Ability to produce and iterate creative at high volume
  • Strong understanding of hooks, pacing, retention, CTAs, and conversion-focused editing
  • Ability to follow someone else’s creative direction precisely rather than needing to own the strategy yourself

Strong Candidates Typically Have

  • Worked as a Video Editor, Performance Video Editor, Paid Social Video Editor, UGC Editor, AI Video Editor, or similar
  • Produced hundreds of paid ad creatives or worked in an environment where new ads were shipped every week
  • Worked directly with performance marketing teams, media buyers, creative strategists, or growth teams
  • Experience working with scaled DTC brands or performance creative agencies
  • Used performance feedback and A/B testing insights to create new iterations of existing ads
  • A portfolio showing ads that actually ran — not only cinematic, branding, YouTube, or organic social content

This Role Is Probably Not a Fit If

  • Most of your experience is traditional filming, videography, VFX, or cinematic production
  • Your portfolio is primarily YouTube videos, podcasts, music videos, brand films, or organic social content
  • You have little or no experience with paid acquisition creatives
  • You have not worked with AI video-generation tools
  • You prefer developing the overall creative strategy rather than executing detailed briefs
  • You focus on producing one highly polished video over several days instead of creating multiple strong variants quickly
  • You want to own media buying or campaign management

What Success Looks Like

Within your first months, you’ll be independently producing a consistent weekly pipeline of new AI-first UGC, VSL, and paid-social ad variants ready for testing, with minimal involvement required from the founder or Senior Creative Strategist in the editing process.
