JOB OVERVIEW

Video Editor & Ad Creative — Make Ads That Sell, Not Just Look Pretty

We're hiring a full-time creative who lives and breathes short-form ads. You'll be the person behind our paid ad creative across TikTok, Meta (Facebook/Instagram), and YouTube — editing scroll-stopping videos, designing static ads, and constantly pitching new hooks and concepts we should test next.

This is a direct-response creative role. We don't care about winning design awards — we care about thumb-stopping hooks, watch time, CTR, and ads that actually convert. If you get excited seeing YOUR ad win the A/B test, this role is for you.

You'll work closely with our Digital Marketing Strategist and business owner on an AI-powered marketing team — we use modern AI tools for scripting, research, and iteration, so you'll spend your time on the creative work that actually moves the needle, not busywork.

What you'll do every week:

Edit short-form video ads — UGC-style edits, hook variations, captions/subtitles, sound design, cutdowns for TikTok, Reels, and Meta feed (this is ~60% of the role)
Design static ads — image ads, carousels, and thumbnails that stop the scroll
Brainstorm new ad concepts — bring us hooks, angles, trends, and formats to test; you'll pitch ideas in every creative meeting, not just wait for briefs
Iterate on winners — take our best-performing ads and produce fresh variations (new hooks, new openers, new formats) to beat the control
Study the data — review which of your ads won and lost, and use that to make the next batch better
Stay on top of trends — you know what's working on TikTok and IG this week, not last quarter

Who we're looking for:

2+ years editing video, with real experience making ads (not just vlogs, weddings, or gaming montages)
Strong with Premiere Pro or CapCut Pro + After Effects (or equivalent); Photoshop/Canva/Figma for statics
You understand direct-response principles: the first 3 seconds d ---------- everything, captions are mandatory, one idea per ad
A portfolio of short-form ad work you can share (this is required — no portfolio, no interview)
Creative brain, not just technical hands — you generate ideas, you don't just execute briefs
Good written English and reliable communication
Able to work US Pacific business hours (PH night shift) with fast internet, a machine that can handle video editing, and a backup plan for power/internet outages

Nice to have (not required):

Experience with ad creative for e-commerce or DTC brands
Basic motion graphics / animated text skills
Familiarity with AI creative tools (image generation, AI voiceover, script tools)
You've run or helped run ad accounts and understand metrics like CTR, thumbstop rate, and ROAS

Why this role is a great gig:

$800/month starting salary with a clear path to raises — we review performance and pay every 6 months, and creatives whose ads win get rewarded
Long-term, stable, full-time role — we want someone who grows with us for years
Direct access to the business owner and strategist — your ideas actually get tested, fast
Work with a modern AI-powered stack — skills that will keep you ahead of 99% of editors
13th month pay and paid PH holidays after probation (edit/remove to match what you actually offer)

How to apply (read carefully — this is the first test):

Start your application with the word "THUMBSTOP" so we know you read the full post
Link your portfolio — specifically your 3 BEST short-form ad edits (TikTok/Reels/Meta). Tell us which one you're proudest of and why
Pitch us ONE ad idea: pick any product you like, and describe the hook, the first 3 seconds, and why it would stop the scroll
Tell us which editing tools you use daily
Confirm you can work US Pacific business hours full-time

Applications that skip any of these steps will not be read. Creative work is detail work — show us you've got it from the very first message.
