JOB OVERVIEW

We’re looking for a full-time Video Editor to join our creative team and work on one of our brands. You’ll be responsible for editing high-converting direct response video ads designed for Meta and TikTok. This is not a junior role. We’re looking for someone who understands the psychology of performance ads, has edited for DTC brands, and can start producing sales-focused, short-form content from day one.

Your Main Responsibilities:
- Edit high-converting ads using UGC, scripted content, and lifestyle b-roll
- Use ElevenLabs for generating realistic voiceovers
- Create scroll-stopping content using hooks, dynamic pacing, captions, and audio
- Apply principles of buyer psychology and emotional flow to drive performance
- Follow creative briefs, respond to feedback quickly, and iterate fast
- Collaborate directly with our strategists and performance marketing team

Must-Have Skills:
- Fluent in Adobe Premiere Pro
- Experience editing direct response video ads (with proof)
- Strong grasp of marketing psychology, emotional storytelling, and platform-native content (TikTok, Meta)
- Fast turnaround time, organized workflow, and ability to deliver polished edits consistently
- Excellent communication and feedback handling skills
- Strong written and verbal English

Bonus Skills (Not Required, But a Big Plus):
- Photoshop skills for static ad asset creation
- Use of AI tools to speed up workflows (e.g., cleanup, transcribing, rough cuts)
- Motion graphics or light animation ability
- Proactive creative input: ability to bring ideas, not just execute instructions
- Starting your application with the word “hook” in caps, so we know you actually read the description

Benefits:
- Potential for long-term, ongoing work if the trial phase is successful
- Competitive monthly retainer
- Remote, flexible work from anywhere outside the U.S.
- Opportunity to work on content that reaches millions of viewers
- Fast-moving, no-BS team with high creative standards and clear feedback

About our company:
SurfScale Holdings is a portfolio company building and scaling direct-to-consumer brands through performance-driven creative and lean, talented remote teams. We move fast, test aggressively, and focus on what actually drives growth — great products, storytelling that sells, and high-performing creatives.

To Apply, Please Submit:
1. A portfolio showing short-form direct response ads you’ve edited (TikTok/Meta format)
2. A short message about your background and why you’re a great fit
3. A list of brands you've worked with
4. Your Skype ID
5. Tools you use in your workflow (Premiere Pro is required)
6. Top applicants will be invited to complete a paid test project to demonstrate their skills
