JOB OVERVIEW

Fast-growing DTC brand spending six figures a month on Meta + TikTok paid media. High creative velocity is the whole game for us. Every week we test more angles, more hooks, more formats, more variants than most brands do in a quarter. Our creative team right now is one person, the founder. It's the bottleneck. Time to fix it.

THE ROLE

You'll own creative production for the brand end-to-end. Your primary tools are Claude (with agent instructions we hand you) and the full Higgsfield suite (image + video generation). We have a system of AI agents with markdown-file instructions that generate first-draft creatives. Your job:
- Receive the AI-generated creatives, verify quality, edit the mistakes in Premiere Pro, ship the final files.
- Improve the agent markdown instructions over time so first drafts get sharper every week.
- Handle the manual touch-up editing that AI still can't fully deliver (color, timing, brand consistency, captions).
- Train the AI on our editing process as you grow the position.

We're targeting about 2,000 creatives per month. Mix of:
- Statics (brand graphics, review-based, comparison, offer variants)
- Short-form video (30 to 60 seconds vertical, TikTok + Reels + Shorts)
- Motion graphics and animated concepts
- UGC re-cuts from raw source footage
- Founder-video re-cuts into ad units

Not all AI-generated, not all manual, a hybrid workflow you'll own.

WHAT WE'LL HAND YOU ON DAY ONE

- Full Higgsfield account access (Soul 2.0, Seedance, Veo 3, Kling, Nano Banana, Marketing Studio, the whole suite).
- Claude API keys and Claude Code CLI installed on your machine.
- Current agent markdown files (content guidelines, brand voice, format rules, hook templates, safe zones) that our agents run on.
- Full brand asset library (fonts, logos, product shots, past winning creatives, footage archive).
- Direct line to the founder for anything needing brand-level input.
- A weekly Friday sync (30 minutes on Zoom) to review what shipped, what won, what's next.

WHAT YOU SHOULD ALREADY HAVE (NOT NEGOTIABLE)

- Adobe Premiere Pro fully licensed and running on your machine. You're fast in it, keyboard-shortcut fluent, comfortable with multi-cam, motion, and colour.
- Claude Pro subscription (or higher) already active. You use it daily, not weekly.
- A visual code editor installed (Visual Studio Code, Cursor, or Windsurf). You're comfortable opening a project folder and editing markdown or config files without needing hand-holding.
- CLI fluency. You can navigate the terminal, run git commands, run shell scripts, install Node or Python packages, install our render pipeline. You're not scared of the command line.
- A working Claude workflow with trained .md agent files ready to deploy. You already build your own agents or skills for creative work. When we hand you our brand's agent markdown files, you know exactly what to do with them (drop into your agents folder, read the frontmatter, extend them, wire them to your tools).
- Familiarity with receiving markdown files and building context from them. A big part of this role is being handed a five-page brand brief in markdown and instantly turning it into a repeatable creative workflow. If markdown-as-instructions is new to you, this role is a bad fit.

REQUIREMENTS

- 3+ years hands-on Adobe Premiere Pro at a professional level. Not just "I've used it." You edit in Premiere daily and are fast enough that mouse-clicking through menus feels slow to you.
- After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, or Cavalry for the motion-graphics slice of the work.
- Comfortable with generative AI tools. Higgsfield, Runway, ChatGPT / Claude, Midjourney, ElevenLabs, similar. You've shipped work using at least three of these in production.
- Established Claude Pro workflow. You already use Claude daily to speed up creative work, have trained agent .md files of your own, and can hit the ground running with ours.
- CLI + code-editor fluency. You can run git clone, install a Node render pipeline, open a repo in VS Code / Cursor / Windsurf, edit markdown files, and use our tools without weekly hand-holding.
- Strong eye for brand consistency and short-form ad pacing. You can tell within 3 seconds whether a hook lands and why.
- Reliable high-speed internet + a Mac or PC that can edit 4K video smoothly. Hard floor is 16 GB RAM. Strong preference for 64 GB+ RAM (real edge on this hire, say so explicitly in your application if you have it). Dedicated GPU strongly preferred. Premiere runs without hiccups on your machine.
- Strong written English. Agent instructions are written in English and clarity in your own docs matters.
- Ownership mindset. You're going to RUN this function, not just execute tickets from a queue.

NICE TO HAVE (NOT REQUIRED BUT A BIG PLUS)

- Claude Code CLI experience specifically (not just claude.ai in the browser).
- Git + GitHub basics. Pull, branch, PR, resolve a simple conflict.
- Meta / TikTok Ads Manager familiarity. You won't be buying media, but knowing what actually wins on those platforms helps you edit smarter.
- Previous experience training or fine-tuning AI agents or prompts at real production scale.
- Previous DTC or e-commerce creative work (Shopify brands, DTC apparel, DTC food or beverage, DTC beauty).
- Motion graphics chops (After Effects, Cavalry, Rive, Lottie).
- Photoshop / Figma for the static side.
- Screen-recording + auto-caption tooling (Remotion, WhisperX, LR-ASD, similar).

GROWTH PATH

- Month 1 to 3: you solo, learning our system, hitting the 2,000 per month volume with our support.
- Month 3 to 6: you start hiring 1 to 2 junior editors under you (we fund the roles), you review and ship their work.
- Month 6 to 12: you're the Head of Creative Production for the brand, with 2 to 4 editors on your team, you own the whole engine.

WHY THIS ROLE IS UNUSUAL

Most editor jobs give you a queue of source files and ask you to render them. This one asks you to work WITH AI as a co-editor, improve the AI's output through prompt and agent iteration, and eventually train a small team under you. If you love editing AND you're already using AI daily, this is the role you've been waiting for.

HOW TO APPLY

Send a message with all of the following. If any are missing, we'll skip your application.

1. Link to your best Premiere Pro portfolio. 3 to 5 pieces you're most proud of, ideally short-form ad work. Include the raw source and your final render if possible so we can see your editing decisions.

2. Which AI tools you use DAILY and how. 2 to 3 sentences per tool. Be specific. "I use Higgsfield Soul 2.0 for photoreal humans, Runway Gen-3 Turbo for motion, and Claude Pro with a set of 4 trained agents for scripting" beats "I use AI."

3. Screenshot or link to your own .md agent files. If you already have trained Claude agents or Claude Code skills you've built, send one or two so we can see how you structure them. This is the biggest differentiator in this hire.

4. Confirm your local stack. What code editor you use (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf), whether Claude Pro is active, whether Premiere Pro is licensed and installed, whether you've used Claude Code CLI, and your machine specs (total RAM, GPU, CPU, whether you edit 4K natively without proxies). If you have 64 GB+ RAM, put it in bold at the top of your reply, it moves you up the pile.

5. Your monthly salary expectation in USD (be specific, not a range).

6. Your time zone and preferred working hours.

Put "Premiere + Claude Pro Editor" in the subject / first line so I know you actually read this.

Looking forward to seeing your work.

You will be expected to show your workflow during the discovery call, including how you expedite creatives and cut editing time with your agents that you have set up in your virtual code editor/Claude in conjunction with your CLI
