Video Editor for Paid Social Media — Direct-to-Consumer Supplements

About the Role

Our team manages paid social campaigns for a direct-to-consumer supplement brand with significant advertising budgets. We are seeking a skilled video editor to collaborate closely with our creative strategist to transform scripts and creative briefs into effective advertisements designed to drive engagement and conversions.

This is not a position for editors who primarily focus on assembling clips for general content such as YouTube videos, weddings, or aesthetic brand reels. Instead, we require a editor who deeply understands the mechanics behind what makes an advertisement successful.

Key Responsibilities

You will be provided with scripts, briefs, and creative guidance and will be expected to produce ads that meet a high-performance standard. Success means creating videos that stop social media users from scrolling, maintain their attention beyond thirty seconds, and encourage clicking.

A significant part of your role will involve rapidly creating multiple variations of already successful advertisements, including experimenting with different hooks, openings, and durations. Speed and iteration are essential.

We also encourage original creativity. Editors who propose new concepts that go live and achieve scale will receive performance bonuses. Thinking strategically like a creative strategist is highly valued.

Volume Expectations

The role requires delivering two ad concepts daily, totaling a minimum of fifty per month. To achieve this output, heavy usage of AI editing tools is necessary. Our workflow is optimized around AI assistance, supported by extensive asset libraries and tightly written briefs.

If producing fifty ads per month seems unrealistic, this position may not be suitable for you.

Required Skills and Experience

• Proven experience with direct response editing specifically for Meta platforms (Facebook and Instagram ads) targeting paid social traffic, not just branded content.
• Advanced expertise with AI production tools including but not limited to realistic avatars, AI-generated user-generated content, AI voiceovers, and both image and video generation technologies. Familiarity with platforms like Higgsfield, Veo, Sora, Kling, ElevenLabs, HeyGen, and advanced captioning tools is expected.
• Strong understanding of advertising fundamentals such as hooks, pacing, caption timing and placement, framing, and retention analytics. Ability to articulate how detailed editing choices impact audience engagement.
• Demonstrated history of creating ads for direct-to-consumer brands that ran with meaningful paid budget.

What We Are Not Looking For

• Editors unable to maintain the required volume of daily output.
• Those without experience shipping paid Meta ads at scale.
• Candidates who consider AI tools as shortcuts rather than integral parts of the workflow or are still learning AI editing tools.
• Editors requiring excessive time per ad (more than hours per ad) or unable to provide concrete examples of their work without confidentiality restrictions.
• Those who cannot accept constructive feedback or become defensive during creative critiques.

Compensation and Bonuses

The base monthly salary ranges from $2,000 to $3,000 based on your editing speed and quality. Additionally, performance bonuses are awarded for every original concept you create that is approved, published, and scales effectively.

Highly proficient editors frequently earn bonuses surpassing their base salary within the first three months.

Application Requirements

• Submit a 3 to 5-minute video walkthrough showcasing 3 to 5 ads you edited. Identify the brand, advertising spend, and any applicable performance metrics. The emphasis should be on your thought process, including how you applied hook techniques, retention strategies, and editing choices.
• Provide links to the ads such as Meta Ad Library entries or creative assets viewable for review.
• Include at least one recent AI-assisted advertisement along with a concise description of your workflow in producing it.
• Disclose your realistic daily production capacity — the number of ads you can deliver per day at your current pace.

Applications lacking any of these components will not be considered. CV-only submissions are not accepted.
