Full-Time Video Editor for E-Commerce Meta Ads | AI Skills Required | Long-Term | Answer ALL the Questions Below

My name is Zebbi, and I'm the Head Editor at E-Factory Group SRL.

We're a team of 6 Italians running performance-driven e-commerce brands, mainly in the US and UK markets.

We're looking for a highly skilled, proactive, and performance-driven video editor to join our creative team for a full-time, long-term collaboration.

This is NOT a one-off project, and we're NOT simply expanding our team. We're looking for a strong editor to replace an existing team member.

We already have an established team of video editors, creative strategists, and a structured production workflow. We need someone who can come in, adapt quickly, and consistently deliver high-quality work.

We're not looking for someone who just knows how to put clips together.

We want an editor who THINKS.

Someone who understands what makes an ad sell, has a strong creative eye, knows when something doesn't look right, and is smart enough to go one step further instead of blindly following instructions.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO:

- Has strong video editing skills and understands direct-response advertising.
- Already knows how to use AI image, video, and voice generation tools at a professional level.
- Can create high-quality, natural-looking AI content without constantly needing guidance.
- Thinks creatively and understands the difference between a video that looks good and a video that actually sells.
- Is proactive, resourceful, and capable of solving problems independently.
- Can follow a detailed brief while also suggesting improvements when something could be done better.
- Works efficiently without sacrificing quality.
- Communicates clearly, takes feedback seriously, and learns quickly.
- Is genuinely interested in improving their skills and staying ahead of new AI technologies.

AI experience is a REQUIREMENT, not a bonus.

We actively experiment with new AI tools, workflows, and creative formats. We share knowledge, help our editors improve, and keep the team updated on new developments.

However, we need someone who already understands the fundamentals. We can help you become better, but we can't spend weeks teaching you the basics.

HOW OUR WORKFLOW WORKS:

1. Our creative strategists develop the concepts, write the scripts, and prepare detailed creative briefs.
2. Your job is to turn those briefs into high-performing video ads.
This typically involves:
- Editing the main video body.
- Creating multiple hook variations (usually 5–10).
- Generating voice-overs and AI avatars when needed.
- Creating AI-generated images and video clips.
- Finding relevant footage and references from social media or other platforms.
- Using and adapting footage from our internal library.
- Making each video feel engaging, natural, and native to social media.
- Improving creative execution wherever you see an opportunity.

You won't be responsible for developing the entire marketing strategy or writing scripts from scratch.

However, we expect you to think like a creative problem-solver, not just an executor.

If you notice a better way to communicate an idea, improve a visual, or make a scene more engaging, we want you to speak up.

PERFORMANCE FEEDBACK AND GROWTH:

We take performance seriously.
We track both editing performance and Meta Ads performance, including:

- Editing speed and production efficiency.
- Quality and consistency of deliverables.
- Number of revisions required.
- Ability to meet deadlines.
- Responsiveness to feedback.
- Performance of your creatives on Meta Ads.
- Reliability, initiative, and continuous improvement.

Our entire editing team is continuously evaluated, not to micromanage people, but to identify weaknesses, improve our processes, and help everyone become more effective.

We also have a weekly team meeting of approximately 1 hour, where we discuss what's working, what needs improvement, new creative approaches, and opportunities to grow.

Attendance is required. We want people who actively participate, contribute ideas, and care about the team's results.

COMPENSATION AND PERFORMANCE BONUS:

We believe strongly in meritocracy.

In addition to your regular base pay, we offer:

$50 BONUS for every winning ad creative you produce.

We reward results, not just hours worked.

We also believe great performance should lead to better compensation.

If you're consistently delivering excellent work, improving your efficiency, and contributing to the company's results, you won't have to chase us for a raise. We'll be the first to propose one.

We want editors who are motivated to grow, and we're willing to reward those who prove their value.

AVAILABILITY AND LONG TERM COMMITMENT:

This is a full-time position requiring 40 hours per week, Monday through Friday (8 hours per day) + some hours in the weekend but only if you want.

We're looking for someone who can consistently dedicate that time to our team and treat this as a serious professional commitment.

We're not interested in short-term collaborations or editors who are constantly juggling too many projects.

Our goal is to build a long-term working relationship, provided it's a good fit for both sides.

If you perform well, you'll have the opportunity to grow with the company, improve your skills, take on more responsibility, and increase your earnings over time.
