ABOUT US
MSET is a lead-generation ad agency in Phoenix, Arizona, built specifically for local home-service businesses (glass installation, roofing, junk removal, remodeling, etc.) If you know how to make a local contractor look like the obvious choice in someone's city, you'll like it here.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
A short-form video editor who can cut Meta ad creatives and Hormozi-style content videos, build motion graphics, and match visuals to every beat of a voiceover.

Real talent: the kind of editor whose work makes people stop scrolling, who places every cut, caption, and sound with intent, and who understands why an ad converts. Reliable, straight with us about what they can and cannot do, and hungry to grow with an agency that pays for performance. If that is you, your samples will show it.

This seat is long-term, not a one-off gig: we are building out our video side and want one editor we grow with, not a rotation of freelancers. Perform, and there is a real path to a creative strategist role with higher pay for editors who think in angles, not just cuts.

WHAT YOU'LL EDIT

1. Meta lead-gen ad creatives, 15-30 seconds. Hook, proof, CTA. High-retention style: clean cuts, animated captions, SFX, punch-ins.
2. Content videos, 45 seconds to 2 minutes. Hormozi-style pacing, dense captions, b-roll drops.
3. Hook variants of existing edits (new first 3 seconds, same timeline).

We record all footage ourselves. Your job is everything after: the cut, the captions, and the graphics. Animated callouts, pop-ups, arrows, price tags, diagrams. You build those graphic elements yourself, not from stock template packs. And every beat of the voiceover gets a visual that matches it: when the VO says a number, the number pops on screen; when it names a problem, we see the problem; when it makes the offer, the offer appears. You pick or build the right visual for each line from our footage, your graphics, or AI b-roll.

Volume: around 3-6 videos per week to start, more if you want more. Typical turnaround 48 hours per video. You choose when you work. No time tracker, no screenshots, no required calls.

MUST HAVE (THE CORE FIVE)
1. Experience editing paid ad creatives (Meta or TikTok ads, not only organic clips)
2. Short-form content editing experience (Reels, TikTok, Shorts)
3. Captions AND motion graphics: your own caption styles plus the ability to build overlay graphics (callouts, pop-ups, price tags, diagrams) yourself, not just auto-captions
4. Marketing sense: hooks, offers, retention, why the first 3 seconds d ---------- everything
5. Premiere Pro, CapCut Pro, or DaVinci. We judge output, not software.

Creative execution: we hand you the offer and the copy. You know how to bring it to life on screen: how to open the ad, what to show when, where the captions punch, how to make the offer land. Editors who show this grow into a higher-paid seat.

Missing one of these? You can still apply, but you must say which one in your email, listed plainly. Honesty about a gap won't disqualify you. Finding out later will.

STRONGLY PREFERRED (not dealbreakers, but these put you ahead of everyone who skips them)
- Higher quality Hormozi-style content editing experience
- AI video generation experience (Higgsfield, Kling, Seedance) for realistic AI b-roll
- Past work for home-service or local-business ads

WHAT WE PROVIDE
Every job comes as one organized Google Drive folder: script, raw footage, shot list, caption style references, and music direction. You cut. We handle strategy and clients.

PAY (negotiable for the right editor, show us the work)
- $12 per finished ad edit (15-30 seconds)
- $20 per finished content video (45 seconds to 2 minutes)
- $5 per hook variant on an existing edit
- $10 bonus every time one of your ads becomes a top performer in our ad account. Uncapped.
- Raises are written, not verbal: $15 per ad edit and $25 per content video after 3 months of consistent quality.
- Paid weekly via Wise, on time, every week. 2 revision rounds included per video.
- Every delivery includes the project file (Premiere/CapCut/DaVinci source), not just the finished MP4.

Do the math: an ad edit from provided footage and script takes a good editor about an hour, so this is 12 to 24 USD per hour effective, output-based, with zero tracking.

Paid test: shortlisted applicants get one small paid test edit at full rate on real footage. Paid whether or not we hire you. We never ask for free work.

WHAT THIS IS NOT
- Not entry-level, and not an auto-captions-and-export job
- Not a social media manager or thumbnail role. Editing is the core job. Strategy input is welcome and rewarded, never required.
- No mandatory daily quota, no time trackers, no unpaid tests.

HOW TO APPLY
Start your application with the word GREENLIGHT so we know you read this. Then do these five things:

1. Direct links to 2-3 paid ad creatives you personally edited (video links, not a portfolio homepage)
2. One link to your best caption-heavy content edit
3. Email ---------- with the subject line "GREENLIGHT + your name" containing: a Google Drive folder of all your past work (set to "anyone with the link can view") and a short resume of your experience (1 page, editing and marketing work only)
4. Your editing software, your typical turnaround for a 30-second ad, and your internet speed from speedtest.net
5. Pick any ad you think is great and tell us in 2-3 sentences why it works. Be specific about the first 3 seconds.

Optional, for editors who also think in angles: say we hand you this script line for a shower glass company: "10% off your shower glass when you book now, and the estimate is free." In 2-3 sentences, describe the first 5 seconds you would cut: what is on screen, what the captions do, what sound hits.

Use 8 Apply Points in your application. Applications without GREENLIGHT or without direct video links will not be reviewed. We reply to shortlisted applicants within 3 days.
