AI META ADS VIDEO EDITOR - DIRECT RESPONSE (D2C BABY BRAND)
Please read the whole post before applying. Applications that skip the questions at the bottom are not reviewed.
ABOUT US
We are LUNA, a D2C baby brand. Our first product is a sleep cocoon that holds a newborn's arms so the startle reflex stops waking him every 45 minutes. Our customers are exhausted first-time mothers who have already tried two or three products that failed, and who quietly believe the problem is them. Our whole brand exists to prove it isn't.
We are scaling on Meta and we need a video editor who understands direct response, not just editing.
THE ROLE
You will create and edit ads for
You need to understand what makes an ad convert, not just what looks nice. Hooks, clean cuts, pacing, scroll-stopping visuals, subtitles, benefit stacking, social proof, CTAs, and variations that actually isolate one variable.
You should also be very good with AI tools and know how to use AI to produce better and faster ad content.
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT FROM MOST EDITING ROLES
Read this part carefully. It is the difference between an application we reply to and one we do not.
1. We sell an emotion, not an object. The product almost never leads. What she is buying is the feeling of being a calm, capable mother again. The product appears late and briefly, as proof. If your instinct is to open on a hero product shot, this is not your role.
2. We do not sell with fear. This is a baby category. Anxiety-bait and danger framing are banned here. They convert short term and destroy a trust brand. Our angle is absolution: it's not you, you were never the problem.
3. Trust is the whole product. Uncanny AI, fake-looking mothers, AI-generated infants, or anything that reads as synthetic will kill performance faster than a weak hook. You need the judgement to know where AI helps (b-roll, upscaling, voiceover, variation speed, motion, mockups, cleanup) and where it destroys credibility (the mother's face, the baby, the testimonial).
4. We advertise in non-English markets. Our main market is Sweden, with Spanish-language assets alongside it. You do not need to speak the language. You do need to be obsessive about pasting our locked terminology exactly as written, never improving a subtitle you cannot read, and catching when an AI caption tool has mangled a word.
5. Meta's rules bite harder here. Copy implying a personal attribute ("you look exhausted", "your baby won't sleep") and unapproved health or safety claims get creatives rejected. You should already know how to land the same emotional punch without triggering a rejection.

AD EDITING SKILLS
You should understand how to edit with strong hooks that land in the first 3 seconds muted as text, fast pacing that still keeps an emotional beat, pattern interrupts, captions and subtitles, product benefits, objection handling, before/after structures, founder storytelling, UGC testimonial structure, social proof, clear CTAs, and bottom-funnel conversion focus.
IMPORTANT

You will be editing for real mothers at their lowest point, so we care as much about your judgement and taste as your timeline skills.
