Full Time
$5–$9 per finished minute of video
TBD
Sep 30, 2026
We are a fast-growing e-commerce health & wellness brand selling through direct-response video ads (VSLs, cartoon-style videos, AI UGC) on Meta. We sell a transdermal magnesium patch for neuropathy to a German-speaking 55+ audience. We are scaling fast and need an EXPERIENCED video ad editor who has actually cut and edited VSLs or direct-response video ads before — not just social media content or YouTube videos.
IMPORTANT: We pay per finished minute of video — $5 to $7 per minute depending on quality and complexity. High-quality work = higher rate. Editors who consistently deliver great work get bumped to the top rate AND receive bonuses for winning ads that scale. This is a long-term, ongoing role with consistent volume.
HOW WE WORK
We provide everything you need to get started:
The full script / copy (English, beat-mapped)
The voiceover (pre-recorded or AI-generated via ElevenLabs)
Example VSLs and cartoon-style ads showing the exact style and direction we want
Briefing for each project
YOUR JOB is the creative execution: editing, pacing, captions, B-roll, sound design, visual hooks — you turn our script and voiceover into a scroll-stopping, high-converting video ad. We also produce cartoon/illustrated-style ads (think Disney/Pixar-inspired visual storytelling with Ken Burns motion) and AI UGC formats — so range and creative flexibility matter. We provide the ingredients, you cook the meal.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
Edit 2–4 video ads per week (starting with 2, scaling based on results)
Cut and assemble full VSLs from provided voiceover, script, and reference material
Edit cartoon-style ads: assemble AI-generated illustrations into animated sequences with Ken Burns motion, music, and voiceover
Add word-by-word animated captions
Source and place B-roll, stock footage, or simple motion graphics where needed
Add sound design, music, pacing, and visual hooks that hold attention
Match the style of the reference ads we provide
Iterate fast when we ask for variations on winning ads
PAY STRUCTURE
$5 to $7 per finished minute of video ad. Rate depends on quality and complexity. Consistently great work earns the top rate — and we reward performance: when your edits turn into winning ads that scale, you get bonuses on top. We pay per delivered video, not per hour — so the faster and better you work, the more you earn.
Example: A 5-minute VSL at $6/min = $30 per video. At 2 videos per week, that's ~$240/month. At 4 videos per week with top rate, significantly more — plus bonuses for winners.
During Q4 (October–December), volume will increase significantly as we scale. That means more projects AND more earning potential.
MUST-HAVE (non-negotiable)
You have ACTUALLY CUT AND EDITED VSLs or direct-response video ads before — show us in your portfolio. Social media edits, YouTube videos, or montages do NOT count. We need direct-response ad experience.

Experience with ElevenLabs or similar AI voiceover tools
Animated / word-by-word captions (CapCut auto-captions or Submagic)
Strong sense of pacing, retention, and hook structure for direct-response ads

NICE-TO-HAVE (big plus)
Adobe Premiere Pro / After Effects for advanced cuts or motion graphics
B-roll sourcing experience (Storyblocks, Artgrid, etc.)
Experience creating cartoon/illustrated-style video ads or AI-generated visual sequences

Experience with multiple DTC / e-commerce brands

WORK STYLE
High-performance, fast-moving e-commerce environment. We value editors who think about WHY an ad converts, not just where to cut. Deadlines are firm, but workload is flexible and grows with results.
HOW TO APPLY (READ CAREFULLY — this is our first filter)
Applications missing any of these will be ignored:
Your portfolio including:
Which brands you have edited VSLs or direct-response video ads for, and FOR HOW LONG
What your exact role was at each
At least 1 full VSL or a cut-down sample of a video ad you personally edited (not a team project — YOUR edit)
Answer in writing:
"What is the single biggest mistake you see editors make when cutting a direct-response VSL — and how do you avoid it?"
A 60-second Loom video where you:
Briefly introduce yourself
Walk us through ONE specific editing decision you made in a past video ad and explain WHY it improved the ad's performance
We are looking for an editor who has done this before, delivers fast, and understands what makes a video ad convert.
Looking forward to your application.
