JOB OVERVIEW

We are a growing e-commerce brand in the fashion / apparel niche, selling to the US market. We run paid social ads (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok) and we need a talented Video Editor to cut high-performing short-form ad creatives, week after week. We test fast and iterate constantly, so we want a long-term partner who gets better with us over time, not a one-off freelancer. If you love making thumb-stopping ads that convert, read on.
What you will do
• Edit short-form video ads (9:16 and 1:1) in ---------- for Facebook, Instagram Reels, and TikTok.
• Turn raw footage, UGC clips, AI-generated scenes, and stock into clean, punchy ads: strong hooks, tight pacing, captions, sound design, music, and a clear call to action.
• Add accurate, well-timed subtitles that match a US audience.
• Follow our creative briefs and ad structures (hook, problem, solution, proof, CTA) while bringing your own editing ideas to make each ad hit harder.
• Produce multiple variations of a winning ad quickly (different hooks, intros, formats) so we can test at scale.
• Keep a clean, organized file and export workflow so nothing gets lost.
What we are looking for
• Strong proficiency in CapCut. You know it inside out (keyframes, captions, transitions, audio sync, speed ramps).
• Proven experience editing direct-response / paid social ads for e-commerce brands. A portfolio or sample ads is required.
• You understand what makes an ad convert: the first 3 seconds, retention, pacing, and hooks. You are not just a technical editor, you think like a marketer.
• Good enough English to understand US-focused briefs and write natural on-screen captions for an American audience.
• Fast, reliable turnaround and comfortable with high volume and constant iteration.
• Detail-oriented: clean cuts, correct aspect ratios, no sloppy exports.
Nice to have
• Experience with Meta / TikTok ad best practices and ad formats.
• Basic motion graphics or After Effects skills.
• Experience editing UGC and AI-generated (cartoon / VSL) ad footage.
• An eye for trending ad styles and sounds.
The details
• Full-time, 40 hours per week, long-term position.
• $350 / month to start, with room to grow as your work drives results.
• 100% remote.
How to apply
So we know you actually read this post, start your application with the word "SPOTLIGHT" and include:
• A link to 2 or 3 short-form ad creatives you edited (Facebook / TikTok / Reels). Ideally e-commerce ads.
• How many years you have edited paid social ads, and for which niches.
• Which tools you use (confirm CapCut) and your typical turnaround time for one ad plus 3 variations.
Applications without ad samples or without the codeword will not be considered.
