JOB DESCRIPTION

I'm looking for a talented video editor who understands UGC (User-Generated Content) and paid social ads for brands.

Use engaging pacing to maximize retention
Find and add relevant B-roll when necessary
Add sound effects, zooms, motion graphics, and transitions when appropriate
Incorporate brand logos or graphics provided
Color correct footage when needed
Deliver revisions quickly
Organize project files



WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR

Experience editing UGC ads
Strong understanding of Meta ads (Instagram and Facebook)
Excellent pacing and storytelling
Ability to make videos feel natural—not over edited
Strong English
Reliable communication
Meets deadlines consistently
Comfortable receiving feedback



BONUS SKILLS

These aren't required but are a huge plus.

To show you've read this entire job post, start your application with the word "Honey." Applications that don't include this word won't be considered.

IDEAL CANDIDATE

Someone who watches a lot of Instagram Reels and paid ads, and understands what makes people stop scrolling.
You don't just cut clips together—you understand pacing, curiosity, visual storytelling, and keeping viewers engaged.



TO APPLY

Please send:

3-5 examples of UGC or paid social ads you've edited
What software you use
Your turnaround time for one video
Your hourly rate or price per video
Your time zone

Please only apply if you've edited direct-response ads or UGC content before. This is not a YouTube or cinematic editing role.
