AI CREATIVE VIDEO EDITOR | PAID SOCIAL + DTC E-COMMERCE | FULL-TIME
Full-Time | Remote | Long-Term | $1,300 USD/month
We're looking for a full-time AI Creative Video Editor to join our team and help us produce high-performing paid social creatives for multiple DTC e-commerce brands.
This role sits at the intersection of:
AI + Video Editing + Direct Response + Creative Thinking
We're not looking for someone who simply waits for footage, follows instructions and exports a video.
We want an editor who can take a script, voiceover, product assets and creative reference and think:
"What is the strongest visual I can put here?"
"Can AI help me create a scene that doesn't exist?"
"How can I make this hook more attention-grabbing?"
"What can I change to make this creative stronger?"
If that sounds like how you naturally think, keep reading.
WHAT MAKES THIS ROLE DIFFERENT
A large part of our creative production involves AI.
Traditional stock footage alone is not enough for the volume and types of ads we want to produce.
You'll be expected to combine:
- Real footage
- UGC
- Stock footage
- AI-generated images
- AI-generated video
- AI avatars
- Product assets
- Motion graphics
- B-roll
into complete advertising creatives.
AI should help you solve creative problems, not simply generate random clips.
OUR AI WORKFLOW
Our workflow includes tools such as:
- Higgsfield
- HeyGen
- ElevenLabs
- CapCut Desktop
- AI image generation tools
- AI video generation tools
- ChatGPT
- Google Drive
Experience with any of the following is also valuable:
- Kling
- Runway
- Veo
- Nano Banana
- Midjourney
- Premiere Pro
- After Effects
You do NOT need to know every platform.
What matters more is that you're comfortable learning new tools quickly and can figure out how to get the visual result you need.
We especially value experience with:
- Image-to-video
- Text-to-video
- AI B-roll
- AI avatars
- Lip sync
- AI voiceovers
- Prompting
- Character consistency
- Product visualization
- AI image generation
WHAT YOU'LL CREATE
You'll work primarily on paid advertising creatives, including:
- Meta /
- Instagram Ads
- AI-generated video ads
- Direct-response ads
- UGC-style ads
- AI avatar ads
- VSL-style creatives
- Advertorial videos
- Product demonstrations
- Customer testimonial ads
- AI B-roll sequences
- Short-form creatives
- Longer 2–5+ minute ads
- Hook variations
- New versions of winning creatives
- Different CTAs and openings
- 1:1, 4:5 and 9:16 formats
WE CARE ABOUT PERFORMANCE
A beautiful video that doesn't sell is not a successful ad.
We're looking for someone who understands concepts such as:
- Scroll stopping
- Hooks
- Curiosity
- Pacing
- Retention
- Pattern interrupts
- Problem agitation
- Storytelling
- Product mechanisms
- Benefits
- Social proof
- Testimonials
- Offers
- CTAs
- Creative testing
You should be able to look at a successful ad and understand WHY it works.
Not just:
"The editing looks good."
But:
"The hook creates curiosity."
"The problem is immediately recognizable."
"The pacing keeps attention."
"The mechanism gives the viewer a reason to believe."
"The proof reduces skepticism."
"The CTA gives the viewer a reason to act."
YOUR DAY-TO-DAY WORK
We will provide materials such as:
- Scripts
- Voiceovers
- Product assets
- UGC footage
- Brand assets
- Creative briefs
- Competitor references
- Winning ad references
You will then:
- Edit complete ads
- Source relevant B-roll
- Generate missing scenes with AI
- Create AI image/video assets
- Create AI avatar scenes when necessary
- Match visuals to the voiceover
- Add subtitles
- Add music and sound design
- Create pattern interrupts
- Create hook variations
- Rework winning creatives into new concepts
- Test different visual approaches
- Adapt creatives to different formats
- Keep project files organized
- Deliver editable files when required
CREATIVE AUTONOMY
At the beginning, you'll receive clear references and creative direction.
But over time, we expect you to become more independent.
If a script says:
"A man over 40 wakes up exhausted despite sleeping 8 hours"
we don't want to have to tell you:
"Use this exact shot at second 3.2."
We want you to be able to d
- UGC footage
- Stock footage
- An AI-generated scene
- An avatar
- A combination of multiple visuals
and execute it.
The stronger your creative judgment becomes, the more valuable you become to our team.
WINNING ADS & ITERATION
An important part of this role is creating new variations from ads that are already working.
For example, if we identify a winning creative, you may be asked to create:
- 5 new hooks
- 3 different openings
- New B-roll
- A new spokesperson
- An AI avatar version
- A UGC version
- Different pacing
- A new CTA
- A different visual concept
without destroying the core elements that made the original ad successful.
We want someone who understands the difference between:
COPYING a winner
and
ITERATING a winner.
LANGUAGE
Most of our advertising is in Italian.
You do NOT need to speak Italian.
We will provide Italian scripts, voiceovers and English translations whenever necessary.
Your responsibility is to understand the meaning and match the correct visuals to the message.
Italian subtitles and on-screen text will be provided.
You must copy Italian text exactly as provided and never independently rewrite or translate the copy.
Attention to detail is important.
WHO WE WANT
You may be a strong fit if you:
- Have experience editing e-commerce ads
- Understand paid social creative
- Understand direct-response marketing
- Have experience using AI creatively
- Enjoy testing new AI tools
- Have strong visual instincts
- Understand hooks and retention
- Can work quickly
- Can produce multiple variations
- Can follow references without blindly copying them
- Can work independently
- Are reliable
- Are organized
- Accept feedback well
- Meet deadlines
- Care about results
You don't need to be perfect at everything.
But you should be curious and willing to improve quickly.

- You only want to create cinematic videos

- You need detailed instructions for every single scene
