Summary
We need a fast, reliable video ad editor who can turn raw UGC footage into high-converting short-form ads at volume. We're looking for a partner, not just a freelancer.
What you'll do:
Edit 9:16 direct-response video ads (15-60 seconds) from raw UGC footage, product clips, and AI voiceovers
Create scroll-stopping hooks in the first 2-3 seconds
Produce 5-10 variations per source video: different hooks, pacing, text overlays, CTAs
Add clean subtitles with keyword highlights. Large, readable text for a 50+ audience
Cut dead frames, tighten pacing. Every second earns its place
Sync AI voiceovers (ElevenLabs) to reaction and product B-roll
Export 9:16, 4:5, 1:1 from the same edit
Same-day or next-day turnaround on most edits
Strong plus:
Ability to create static AI visuals from prompts or brainstorming
Animated photos with AI text, effects layers
AI video generation from statics or concepts (Seedance, Kling, Veo3, Runway, fal.ai)
Basically: if you can take an idea and turn it into a finished ad using AI tools without needing hand-holding, you're exactly who we want
Ad formats we run:
AI Voice + B-Roll (ElevenLabs narration over footage)
UGC Reaction (real unboxing and reveal
Testimonial Overlay (customer review text over footage)
Split-Screen Transform (photo left, portrait right)
Slideshow/Carousel
Requirements:
Portfolio with DTC or eCommerce video ad creatives. No portfolio = no review
CapCut (primary), Premiere Pro, or DaVinci Resolve
You understand direct-response structure: hook, proof, CTA. You edit for ROAS, not aesthetics
Fast. Same-day or next-day. Non-negotiable
You learn new AI tools on your own without being asked. This is critical
Async communication via Slack
Seriously valued:
You already use AI video/voice tools: ElevenLabs, HeyGen, Runway, Kling, Seedance, fal.ai, Veo3, Sora, Arcads
You understand Meta creative testing: hook variations, creative fatigue, ad variation structure
VSL editing experience
Pinterest video pin experience
Compensation:
$1,500/month base for full-time. Commission on ad spend generated from creatives you produce. As we scale, your earnings scale with us. Anything that contributes to our growth gets rewarded.
Potential total comp 8000$+ at scale
How to apply:

Link 3-5 short-form video ads you edited. DTC/eCommerce required
Which ad in your portfolio performed best and why
Your turnaround time for a 30-second 9:16 ad from raw footage to export
Show us any AI-generated visuals or videos you've created (optional but puts you way ahead)
