JOB OVERVIEW

We're looking for an exceptional Direct Response Video Editor based in the Philippines to join our team.

This will begin with a paid pilot project.

If you perform exceptionally well, there is an opportunity to move into a long-term/full-time position editing ads across our client accounts.

We're not looking for someone who simply makes videos look good.

We're looking for someone who understands that editing ads is sales, not cinema.

Your job is to create ads that capture attention immediately, maintain retention, communicate the message clearly, use pattern interrupts intentionally, match the target audience and ultimately help the ad convert.

You'll be given a detailed editing SOP that explains exactly how we want our ads approached.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

1. SPEED

You need to be fast.

We operate quickly and need an editor who can turn projects around without sacrificing quality.

You should have an organised workflow and the ability to move through projects efficiently.

2. QUALITY

Fast does not mean sloppy.

Your edits need to feel polished, intentional and professional.

We're particularly interested in editors experienced with:

Direct-response ads
Meta/Facebook/Instagram advertising
Short-form video
Hooks and retention editing
Captions
B-roll
Sound design
Motion graphics
Visual representations
Pattern interrupts
Premiere Pro / After Effects

3. RESPONSIVENESS

This is extremely important.

We do not want to wait 12–24 hours every time we send you a message.

You don't need to be online every second of the day, but during agreed working hours we expect fast, reliable communication.

If something is unclear, ask.

If something is going to be late, tell us BEFORE the deadline.

If we request a revision, acknowledge it quickly.

If you're someone who disappears halfway through projects, do not apply.

4. ABILITY TO FOLLOW AN SOP

Creativity is important, but so is following instructions.

We have developed a specific editing SOP and expect you to follow it closely.

We don't want someone who ignores the process because they personally prefer another editing style.

Understand the SOP → execute it → then use your judgement where appropriate.

5. DIRECT-RESPONSE THINKING

We're not hiring a cinematic editor.

We're hiring someone who understands why an edit exists.

Every zoom, caption, B-roll clip, sound effect, animation and pattern interrupt should have a reason for being there.

Clarity > cleverness.

THE PILOT

Shortlisted candidates will receive:

Raw footage
Project context
Target audience information
Our editing SOP
Required assets
Clear deliverables

You'll then complete a paid pilot edit.

This is a real evaluation for an ongoing role - not free spec work.

We're evaluating:

Quality
Speed
SOP adherence
Communication
Responsiveness

If your pilot is exceptional, we'll discuss bringing you onto the team for ongoing client work.

HOW TO APPLY

Read this carefully.

The FIRST word of your application must be: OPTIMALLY

If OPTIMALLY isn't the first word of your application, your application will automatically be ignored.

Then send us:

1. YOUR 3 BEST DIRECT-RESPONSE AD EDITS

Do not send us 20 videos.

Send the three pieces of work that best demonstrate your ability to edit paid social ads that hold attention and sell.

For each one, briefly explain what YOU personally edited.

2. A 2–4 MINUTE LOOM VIDEO

In the Loom, explain:

Who you are
Your experience editing direct-response ads
Why you believe you're an exceptional fit for this specific role
How you balance speed with quality
How you approach following detailed SOPs
How quickly you normally respond to clients/team members during working hours
Why we should choose you over the other editors applying

Please speak naturally. We don't need a scripted corporate presentation.

3. YOUR AVAILABILITY

Tell us:

Your current working hours in Philippine Time
How many hours per week you currently have available
Whether you're currently working with other clients/employers
When you could start
Whether you'd be interested in a full-time position if the pilot goes well

4. PILOT TURNAROUND

Tell us how quickly you could realistically complete a set of 10 ~60-second direct-response ads after receiving all required assets.

5. PILOT PRICE

Tell us your fixed price for completing the paid pilot.

Please give us your genuine rate. We're looking for someone we can build a long-term working relationship with, not simply the cheapest editor.

We're looking for someone who wants to become a core member of the team, not someone looking to pick up another random freelance project.

If you're extremely good, reliable, fast, responsive and coachable, there is significant room to grow with us.

Remember:
