JOB OVERVIEW

# Junior Video Editor — DTC/UGC Ads (Part-Time, Remote, Philippines)

## About us
We're a US-based performance marketing agency running paid social for DTC brands across supplements, beauty, real estate, and lifestyle. We test and ship new ad variants every week, and we need a fast, reliable editor in the production pipeline.

This is a junior role. We're not expecting a stacked portfolio or strategic creative chops — we're looking for someone fast, coachable, and hungry to get better while editing real ads running on real ad budgets.

## The role
You'll work under our senior editor, executing on briefs and turning around variants fast:

- Cutting hook variants — we give you the body, you swap and test 3–5 hooks
- Resizing and reformatting ads for placements (9:16, 1:1, 4:5)
- Captions (burned-in, branded styling), basic sound design, music
- Sourcing simple B-roll from stock libraries when the brief calls for it
- Following our editing style guide — caption styling, pacing benchmarks, brand colors
- Light AI generation work as you ramp — we'll train you on the tools (Higgsfield, Kling, Google Flow)
- Async updates via Slack/Loom — what's done, what's stuck, what needs review

This is creative production execution, not creative direction. You're not d ---------- what gets made — you're making it, fast and clean.

## Requirements
- 6 months to 2 years editing experience, ideally short-form social or UGC content
- Portfolio showing clean editing — solid pacing, clean audio, decent captions. Spec work and personal projects count
- Fast in CapCut, Premiere, or DaVinci — pick one, be quick in it
- Vertical-first editing fluency (Reels/TikTok/Stories)
- Fast turnaround — briefs Monday morning means first drafts Tuesday EOD
- Coachable — you absorb feedback and apply it next round without getting defensive
- Reliable async communicator — you don't go dark, you flag blockers early
- Detail-oriented — you catch your own typos, audio glitches, and export issues before delivery

## Bonus (not required)
- You've played with Higgsfield, Kling, Runway, Google Flow, Sora, or CapCut AI features — even as a hobby
- You've used stock libraries before (Storyblocks, Pexels, Artgrid)
- You watch a lot of ads and have opinions about them
- Motion graphics basics (After Effects or CapCut templates)

## What this role is NOT
- Not a creative strategist role — concepts come from us
- Not a heavy AI generation role yet — you'll learn it over time
- Not low-volume — expect 10+ variants a week once ramped

## Logistics
- **Type:** Independent contractor, ongoing
- **Compensation:** $250 USD/month
- **Hours:** 20 hrs/week, flexible scheduling, some PST overlap preferred
- **Location:** Remote, Philippines
- **Tools:** We cover AI tool subscriptions and stock library access
- **Growth:** Clear path to more volume, senior responsibilities, and higher pay as you prove out — strong performers move up fast

## How to apply
Send all of the following — incomplete applications get skipped:

1. **Portfolio link** — Drive folder, Vimeo, or personal site. Short-form social work preferred. No portfolio = automatic skip
2. **3 ads from other brands you think are well-edited** — link each and tell us in 1–2 sentences what you like about the editing
3. **Which editing software you use and how long you've used it**
4. **Have you touched any AI video tools?** — yes/no. If yes, which and what you made. "Not yet" is a fine answer
5. **Availability and start date**

## Process
1. Application review and shortlist
2. 15–20 min video call with a quick portfolio walkthrough — you'll screen-share 1–2 pieces and walk us through your edit decisions
3. Offer
