Senior Video Editor

SENIOR VIDEO EDITOR — ECOMMERCE META ADS
Remote | Full-time | $900–$1,500 USD depending on experience

ABOUT MHI MEDIA

MHI Media is a performance marketing agency helping ambitious e-commerce and DTC brands grow. We create and test the ads that drive sales for brands operating at serious scale.

Our creative team is made up of editors, designers, strategists and pod leads working together across a large portfolio of brands. We produce a high volume of creative, learn from performance data and improve quickly — so this is a great environment for someone who wants to become genuinely excellent at advertising, not just make videos that look nice.

THE ROLE

We are looking for a high-quality Video Editor who understands that a paid social ad has one job: earn attention, communicate the idea clearly and move the viewer towards action.

You will edit e-commerce video ads for Meta from briefs, scripts, references and raw assets. You will work closely with creative strategists and pod leads, submit work for internal QA, respond to feedback and keep improving your output over time.

This role is not for someone who needs to be chased through every step. We want an editor who can understand a brief, make strong creative decisions, check their own work and deliver reliably.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

- Edit e-commerce video ads for Meta, generally using UGC, product footage, stock, screen recordings, founder content, AI-generated assets and b-roll
- Build strong opening hooks and produce thoughtful variations from winning creative
- Create clear, well-paced edits with effective captions, text overlays, sound design, music and light motion graphics
- Follow the brief and reference closely while adapting the edit to the product, audience and brand
- Make sure visuals, voiceover, captions, claims, offers, product details and brand assets all match the brief
- Submit organised work through our production workflow and meet agreed deadlines
- Apply QA feedback accurately rather than repeating the same mistakes
- Repurpose winning concepts into new hooks, edits, lengths, placements and aspect ratios
- Communicate early when a brief, asset or deadline is unclear or blocked
- Study performance feedback and use it to make future creative stronger

WHAT GREAT PERFORMANCE LOOKS LIKE

- Your first version is already clean, considered and close to the brief
- You understand why a hook, cut, pause, caption or visual is being used — not just how to add it
- You catch spelling, pacing, safe-zone, branding, continuity and audio issues before submitting
- You can take direct feedback without becoming defensive and implement it properly
- You are reliable: deadlines are met, blockers are raised early and tasks do not disappear
- Your work gets better as you learn what performs for different audiences and brands
- Strategists and pod leads trust you with increasingly important work

WHO WE WANT

We want operators, not talkers.

You will probably do well here if you are:

- Performance-minded: interested in what makes people stop, watch and buy
- Detail-obsessed: you notice the one typo, wrong product, weak cut or incorrect logo before anyone else does
- A strong brief reader: you follow direction precisely and ask questions when something is unclear
- Coachable: you actively want detailed feedback and use it to improve
- Proactive: you look for the next useful action instead of waiting to be chased
- Fast but not careless: you can work at volume without lowering your standards
- Commercially curious: you want to understand the customer, offer, audience and creative strategy behind the edit
- A clear communicator: you can explain your decisions and flag problems early
- Comfortable working remotely with a distributed team and shared deadlines

This probably will not be the right role for you if you only want to make cinematic edits, dislike performance-driven work, ignore briefs, take feedback personally or need constant supervision.
