AI Video Editor for DTC Supplement Brand — Direct Response Ads & VSLs

# AI Video Editor for DTC Supplement Brand — Direct Response Ads & VSLs

We’re a fast-growing German DTC supplement brand looking for a **high-level AI Video Editor** who understands one thing above all:

**Your job is not to make videos look pretty. Your job is to make people watch, believe, and buy.**

We’re looking for someone who can take scripts, raw footage, AI-generated assets, UGC, voiceovers, and creative concepts and turn them into **high-converting Direct Response video ads and VSLs**.

Most videos will be approximately **2–5 minutes long**, with some shorter ad variations.

This is a **long-term, full-time position**. We are looking to hire immediately.

## What You’ll Be Editing

You’ll primarily create:

- Direct Response Facebook / Instagram video ads
- 2–5 minute VSL-style ads
- AI UGC creatives
- AI-generated animations and scenes
- Native-style advertorial videos
- Testimonial / story-based ads
- Educational / authority-style ads
- Hook and angle variations for existing winners
- New iterations based on performance data

Our audience is primarily **45–70+ years old in Germany**, so the editing needs to feel credible, native, easy to understand, and persuasive — not like a flashy TikTok edit made for teenagers.

## What We’re Looking For

You should already understand the fundamentals of **Direct Response advertising**.

That means understanding concepts like:

- Hooks
- Pattern interrupts
- Curiosity
- Retention
- Pacing
- Storytelling
- Problem → agitation → solution
- Mechanism
- Proof
- Authority
- Testimonials
- Objection handling
- Future pacing
- CTAs
- Visual reinforcement of the copy
- Keeping the viewer engaged throughout a 2–5 minute video

You need to understand that **every visual, cut, subtitle, animation, sound effect, B-roll choice, and transition needs a reason to exist.**

We do NOT want someone who simply adds subtitles, stock footage, and transitions to a script.

We want someone who can actually **think like a Direct Response marketer.**

## AI Skills Are Extremely Important

You should be very comfortable using modern AI tools to create better ads faster.

Ideally, you have experience with things like:

- AI UGC
- AI avatars
- AI voiceovers
- AI image generation
- Image-to-video
- AI animation
- AI B-roll generation
- Lip-sync
- Generative video
- AI-assisted editing

Experience with tools such as **Kling, Veo, Runway, HeyGen, ElevenLabs, Midjourney, Nano Banana, ChatGPT, CapCut, Premiere Pro, After Effects** or similar tools is a major plus.

We care less about which exact tools you use and more about the **quality of the final creative**.

## You’re a Strong Fit If…

- You’ve edited Direct Response ads before
- You understand DTC / eCommerce advertising
- You have a strong instinct for what keeps viewers watching
- You understand that retention matters more than fancy editing
- You can turn a script into strong visual storytelling without being micromanaged
- You can generate AI scenes when normal B-roll isn’t good enough
- You know how to make AI UGC feel believable and native
- You can study winning ads and understand WHY they work
- You can create multiple iterations without every video feeling identical
- You’re fast without sacrificing quality
- You take feedback well and improve quickly
- You care about performance, not your editing ego

Experience with **supplements, health products, info products, advertorial funnels, VSLs, or other aggressive Direct Response markets** is a big advantage.

## You’re NOT a Fit If…

- Your main focus is cinematic editing
- You need extremely detailed instructions for every scene
- You’ve never studied Direct Response marketing
- You think good editing means adding more effects
- You rely entirely on generic stock footage
- You don’t actively use AI in your workflow
- You cannot analyze an ad and explain why it works
- You’re looking for a casual freelance side project

## Compensation

**Starting salary: $1,000 USD/month**

If your work is strong and you prove yourself during the first month, we are open to increasing this to approximately:

**$1,200 USD/month after Month 1**

From there, compensation can continue increasing based on:

- Creative quality
- Speed
- Reliability
- Ability to work independently
- Ad performance
- Contribution to the creative team

We are looking for someone we can work with **long term**, not someone to edit three videos and disappear.

## How to Apply

Please send:

1. A short introduction about yourself
2. Your portfolio
3. Examples of your **AI-generated video / AI UGC work**
4. Which AI tools you currently use
5. Your current availability
6. Your timezone
7. Your expected monthly salary

And answer these two questions:

**1. What do you believe separates a high-converting Direct Response video from a normal well-edited video?**

**2. If a 3-minute ad has a major viewer drop-off after the first 15 seconds, what would probably be the main for the drop?

If your portfolio is mainly cinematic videos, music videos, gaming edits, or short-form entertainment content, this position is probably not the right fit.

We are looking for someone who wants to become **exceptionally good at AI-powered Direct Response creative** and build winning ads with us for the long term.

**If that sounds like you, apply.**
