JOB OVERVIEW

PERFORMANCE VIDEO EDITOR | AI + E-COMMERCE ADS | FULL-TIME
Full-Time | Remote | Long-Term | $1,300 USD/month
We're looking for a full-time Performance Video Editor to help us create high-performing paid social ads for multiple DTC e-commerce brands.
We are not looking for someone who simply knows how to edit videos.
We're looking for someone who combines:
Video Editing + Direct Response + Creative Thinking + AI
You should understand why an ad works, not just how to make it look good.
You do NOT need to know every AI platform we use.
What matters is that you're a strong editor, understand advertising creative, learn quickly and are comfortable using AI to create stronger visuals, better hooks, more engaging B-roll and more creative variations.
If that sounds like you, keep reading.
WHAT YOU'LL BE WORKING ON
You'll primarily create paid social advertising creatives such as:
- Meta / Facebook Ads
- Instagram Ads
- Direct-response ads
- UGC-style ads
- VSL-style videos
- Advertorial videos
- Product-focused ads
- Customer testimonial ads
- AI-assisted creatives
- Short-form ads
- Longer 2–5+ minute videos
- Hook variations
- New versions of winning ads
- Different CTAs and openings
- 1:1, 4:5 and 9:16 formats
Some creatives will use real footage.
Some will use UGC.
Some will use stock footage.
Some will use AI-generated content.
Many will combine multiple formats.
WHAT WE CARE ABOUT
We care about performance.
A video can look beautiful and still be a bad ad.
We're looking for someone who understands concepts such as:
- Hooks
- Scroll stopping
- Pacing
- Retention
- Pattern interrupts
- Curiosity
- Problem agitation
- Emotional storytelling
- Product mechanisms
- Benefits
- Social proof
- Testimonials
- Offers
- CTAs
- Creative testing
You should be able to look at a winning ad and understand WHY it works.
Not just:
"The editing looks good."
But:
"The hook creates curiosity."
"The problem is immediately clear."
"The pacing maintains attention."
"The mechanism gives the viewer a reason to believe."
"The proof builds trust."
"The CTA gives the viewer a reason to act."
AI IS PART OF OUR WORKFLOW
AI is becoming an important part of how we produce creative.
Our workflow may include tools such as:
- Higgsfield
- HeyGen
- ElevenLabs
- Kling
- Runway
- Veo
- Nano Banana
- ChatGPT
- CapCut Desktop
- AI image generation tools
- AI video generation tools
Experience with AI tools is strongly preferred.
However, we care more about your ability to learn and produce strong performance creative than experience with one specific platform.
You do NOT need to be an expert in every tool.
We want someone who is comfortable experimenting, learning quickly and using AI when it improves the final ad.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
You will receive materials such as:
- Scripts
- Voiceovers
- Product assets
- Brand assets
- UGC footage
- Competitor references
- Creative briefs
- Winning ad references
Your responsibilities will include:
- Editing complete video ads
- Finding relevant B-roll
- Matching visuals closely to the voiceover
- Generating AI scenes when useful
- Creating engaging subtitles
- Adding music and sound effects
- Creating visual pattern interrupts
- Creating multiple hook variations
- Iterating on winning creatives
- Testing different openings
- Testing different CTAs
- Testing different visual approaches
- Adapting videos into multiple formats
- Keeping project files organized
- Delivering editable project files when required
CREATIVE INDEPENDENCE
We will provide clear creative direction, especially at the beginning.
But over time, we expect you to become increasingly independent.
We don't want to tell you exactly what visual should appear every 3 seconds.
If the script describes a specific problem, situation or emotion, we want you to think about the strongest way to show it.
That could be:
- Real footage
- UGC
- Stock footage
- An AI-generated scene
- An avatar
- Product footage
- A combination of different visuals
We want someone who can make strong creative decisions instead of simply following instructions mechanically.
WINNING ADS & ITERATION
A major part of performance advertising is iteration.
When we find a winning creative, you may be asked to create:
- New hooks
- New openings
- New B-roll
- Different spokespersons
- Different pacing
- Different visual styles
- Different CTAs
- AI-assisted versions
- UGC-style versions
- New creative variations
You should understand how to create new versions without destroying the core idea that made the original ad successful.
LANGUAGE
Most of our advertisements are in Italian.
You do NOT need to speak Italian.
We will provide Italian scripts, voiceovers and English translations whenever necessary.
Your job is to understand the meaning of the message and choose or create the appropriate visuals.
Italian subtitles and on-screen text will be provided.
You must copy Italian text accurately and never independently rewrite or translate the copy.
Attention to detail is extremely important.
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
You'll probably be a strong fit if you:
- Have experience editing e-commerce ads
- Understand paid social creative
- Understand direct-response advertising
- Have strong visual instincts
- Understand hooks and retention
- Can create variations quickly
- Are comfortable with AI tools
- Learn new tools quickly
- Can follow references without blindly copying them
- Can work independently
- Are organized
- Are reliable
- Meet deadlines
- Respond well to feedback
- Care about performance
- Want to improve over time
You don't need to be perfect at everything.
But you should be curious, proactive and willing to improve quickly.
THIS ROLE IS NOT FOR YOU IF
Please do not apply if:
- You only want to create cinematic videos
- Your experience is mainly weddings, gaming or podcasts
- You are not interested in performance advertising
- You dislike learning new tools
- You need detailed instructions for every single scene
- You don't care how your ads perform
This role is specifically focused on performance creative for e-commerce brands.
