JOB OVERVIEW

We are a Dutch D2C brand based in the Netherlands. We run paid video ads on Meta (Facebook & Instagram) for the Dutch and Belgian market. Our creatives are built around strategic concepts, and every video has one job: grab attention, hold it, and turn viewers into customers.
We're looking for a Senior Video Editor who doesn't just cut clips together, but understands why a video works.

Who We're Looking For
Someone who understands how people actually watch ads on Meta: thumb on the screen, sound often off, ready to scroll away at any second. You know how to structure a video so the viewer stays, from the first frame to the CTA.
Ideally, you can look at a script and tell us: "This part will lose people. Let's move the payoff up," or "This hook is too slow, try this instead." We value editors who bring their own ideas and actively look for ways to make our ads better.

This is NOT a role for YouTube editors, vlog editors or wedding/event editors. We need someone with real experience in performance ads for D2C brands. So if you don't have experience with D2C, do not apply.

What You'll Do
- Edit high-converting AI UGC videos and B-roll-driven ads for Meta (Reels, Stories, Feed)
- Structure videos for maximum retention: hook → problem → proof → solution → CTA
- Create scroll-stopping hooks in the first 1–3 seconds
- Build clear, strong CTAs that drive action
- Create and source B-roll using AI tools and stock libraries

Produce videos with our AI stack:
- Higgsfield for AI video and visuals
- HeyGen for AI avatars and UGC-style talking heads
- ElevenLabs for Dutch voiceovers
- Use Claude for optimising visual prompts

Give feedback on scripts: where they're too slow, unclear or weak
Create multiple variations per concept for testing (different hooks, angles and CTAs)
Add captions, motion graphics, sound design and pacing optimized for sound-off viewing

Requirements (Must-Have)
- Minimum 2 years of experience editing Meta ads for D2C / e-commerce brands. This is non-negotiable.
- A portfolio with real paid ads you've edited (Meta or TikTok ads, not organic or YouTube content)
- Deep understanding of hooks, retention, pacing, storytelling and CTAs in short-form ads
- Experience with AI UGC and comfort with tools like Higgsfield, HeyGen and ElevenLabs
- Comfortable editing videos in Dutch. You don't need to speak it, but you must work accurately with Dutch scripts, voiceovers and captions (we'll provide translations).
- Good English to communicate about briefs, scripts and feedback
- A stable internet connection and a strong editing setup

Nice to Have
- Experience with health, wellness or 45+ target audiences
- Copywriting skills for hooks and on-screen text
- Experience working with European brands
- Understanding of ad metrics (hook rate, hold rate, CTR) and how editing affects them

What We Offer
- Long-term, stable position with a growing Dutch brand
- Work with the latest AI video tools
- Your ideas are heard. We want you to think along, not just execute.
- Room to grow into a lead creative role

How to Apply
Send us:
- Your portfolio with links to paid Meta ads for D2C brands you edited
- Pick one ad from your portfolio and explain: what was the hook, how did you structure the video, and why did it work?
- Which D2C brands have you edited ads for, and for how long?
- Your experience with Higgsfield, HeyGen and ElevenLabs
- Your expected monthly salary
