Part-Time Performance Creative Editor, Meta Ads (Full-time)
Spools makes lightweight, 3D-printed travel mahjong sets, plus chess, backgammon, and poker. We're looking for an unreasonably talented short-form editor to cut ads that sell on Meta. To be clear up front: we're not hiring someone who just edits. We're hiring someone who ships an ad, reads the data that comes back, and iterates. Cut, test, learn, cut again. The edit is half the job. The feedback loop is the other half.
You need to tell a great story through visuals: take raw product and lifestyle footage and turn it into direct-response ads that stop thumbs. Where the footage falls short, you build or source your own supporting assets. You don't wait around for the perfect clip.
Ideally, your edits have real Meta spend behind them, and you can tell us exactly what that spend taught you. You should be able to produce test-ready variations (new hooks, new opens, new pacing, new captions, new CTAs) faster than most competent editors think possible, because you build templates and AI workflows instead of grinding timelines.
Here's who we're looking for:
You're a little obsessed with the numbers. When your ad goes live, you're not done. Hook rate, hold rate, CTR, cost per purchase, ROAS. You read performance data the way you read a timeline, and every number changes your next cut. A winning ad makes you ask why it won and cut six more like it. A dying ad is just creative fatigue, and you already have the refresh queued.
You create lift, not just deliverables. Anyone can make a video look good. You make videos that move CPA.
You're full-circle. You don't just cut what you're handed. You help d
Strong fundamentals are essential: hooks, retention, storytelling, pacing, captions, motion text. Premiere, Resolve, Final Cut, or CapCut. We don't care which. We care what comes out of it. Graphic design experience is a big plus. And if you play mahjong or board games, even better.
What to expect: You'll work directly with the founder, who handles media buying. You'll get access to real performance data and ownership of the creative testing engine. Your work will be judged by the numbers it produces. We think you'll find that liberating. Expect to be handed real budget, real data, and real ownership of the creative testing engine.
