JOB OVERVIEW

We’re an affiliate marketing team running paid social campaigns at scale, and we’re looking for high-output video editors who understand direct-response advertising.
This is NOT a role where we hand you perfectly organized footage and tell you exactly where to make every cut.
We want editors who can take a concept, script, reference ad, or rough direction and turn it into a finished ad independently.
You should be comfortable taking something like:
“Here are 3 winning ads in this vertical. Create 5 new concepts inspired by these without simply copying them.”
…and running with it.
What You'll Be Doing
You'll primarily create short-form video ads for platforms like Facebook, TikTok, Snapchat, and other paid social channels.
Depending on the assignment, you may receive:
Winning/reference ads
Scripts
Hooks or angles
Landing pages
Raw footage
A general creative concept
From there, we expect you to be resourceful.
That may mean:
Finding relevant B-roll
Generating AI footage/images
Creating AI voiceovers with tools like ElevenLabs
Sourcing clips when appropriate
Adding captions, graphics, overlays, sound effects, etc.
Reworking hooks and pacing
Creating multiple genuinely different variations of a concept
Identifying ways to improve the source material rather than blindly copying it
You need to be comfortable using AI as part of your editing workflow.
What We're Looking For
The biggest thing we care about is performance creative, not cinematic editing.
You should understand concepts like:
Hooks
Pattern interrupts
UGC/native-style ads
Direct-response pacing
Advertorial-style creative
Keeping attention in the first 1–3 seconds
Creating variations that are actually different
Iterating on winning ads
Making ads feel native to the platform rather than overly produced
Experience editing affiliate, lead generation, e-commerce, supplement, finance, insurance, or other direct-response ads is a major plus.
Autonomy Is Important
We don't want someone who needs step-by-step instructions for every ad.
If we give you an idea and you're missing a piece of footage, we expect you to figure out how to get it.
If an AI-generated clip would make the ad better, generate it.
If the voiceover needs to be created, create it.
If the reference ad gives you an idea for a stronger variation, make it.
Resourcefulness is one of the biggest things we're hiring for.
Volume & Turnaround
This is an ongoing position with a consistent creative workload.
We care heavily about:
Speed + quality + variation.
We'll establish a weekly output target together, but you should be comfortable producing creatives at volume without every ad looking like a slightly modified version of the last one.
Fast turnaround is extremely important.
Performance Feedback
Your ads won't disappear into a folder after you make them.
We actively run and track these creatives.
Each editor's ads are labeled so we can see performance by editor and creative.
That means you'll get actual feedback based on:
Spend
CPA
CTR
Conversion performance
Winning hooks/angles
Which creative styles are working
Over time, we expect you to use that information to make better ads.
If your creatives consistently perform, there is significant opportunity to grow with us and receive more work.
Paid Trial
We're hiring several editors initially and will give each editor similar paid trial assignments.
We're evaluating:
Creative quality
Turnaround time
Ability to follow directions
Resourcefulness
How much you improve/transform the source material
Ability to create genuinely different variations
Understanding of direct-response advertising
Communication
Ability to work independently
The strongest editors will move into ongoing roles with consistent weekly volume.
To Apply
Please send:
3–5 examples of direct-response ads you've edited. Please don't send a giant portfolio. Show us your best relevant work.
Tell us what types of paid ads you've edited before.
Tell us which AI tools you currently use for editing, voice, images, or video generation.
Tell us approximately how many 30–60 second ads you can realistically produce per week.
Tell us your typical turnaround time for one ad once you receive the assignment.
IMPORTANT: Start your application with the word “PERFORMANCE” so we know you read the entire post.
We're looking to hire immediately and will be selecting multiple editors for paid trials.
