We’re Looking for the Best Video Editors in the Game

This is not a standard video editing position.

We are looking for elite performance video editors who understand how to create ads that don’t just look good — they convert, scale, and generate revenue.

We intentionally pay significantly above the average for this type of role because we want to work with editors who are among the best at what they do.

If you have mastered direct-response DTC video editing, understand consumer psychology, and know how to combine traditional editing with the latest AI video generation and editing tools, we want to hear from you.

Your goal is simple:

Create ads that look real, feel premium, and perform at scale.

About Us

We are a premium 8-figure men’s fashion brand selling globally through direct-to-consumer e-commerce.

We are not a typical dropshipping company.

We invest heavily in:

Premium products
Strong branding
High-quality creative production
Performance marketing
Creative testing at scale

Our paid advertising team produces a high volume of creatives across Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and other platforms, and creative performance is one of the biggest drivers of our growth.

We are now looking for exceptional editors who can help us produce the next generation of winning ads.

What You’ll Do

You will be responsible for turning concepts, raw footage, UGC, AI-generated footage, product assets, and existing content into high-converting paid social advertisements.

Your responsibilities include:

Edit direct-response video ads for Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and other paid channels.
Create UGC, founder-led, advertorial, product-focused, lifestyle, testimonial, and story-driven advertisements.
Build strong hooks designed to stop the scroll immediately.
Turn marketing angles, personas, pain points, and USPs into compelling video ads.
Produce multiple variations of winning concepts for structured creative testing.
Use AI to create highly realistic scenes, actors, voiceovers, environments, product demonstrations, and supporting footage.
Combine AI-generated content with real footage in a way that feels natural and believable.
Add captions, motion graphics, sound design, pacing, visual effects, and pattern interrupts where they improve performance.
Maintain a premium fashion aesthetic while still optimizing heavily for conversion.
Collaborate closely with our creative strategists, media buyers, and marketing team.
Analyze winning ads and understand why they worked, then create iterations around those learnings.
Stay ahead of new creative formats, editing styles, AI tools, and paid social trends.
What You Need to Master
Direct-Response DTC Editing

You should already understand concepts such as:

Hooks
Retention
Scroll stopping
Consumer psychology
Pain points
Desires
Personas
USPs
Objection handling
Social proof
Pattern interrupts
Offer presentation
Calls to action
Creative fatigue
Iteration of winning concepts

We do not want someone who only knows how to make aesthetically pleasing videos.

You need to understand that every editing decision can affect CTR, CVR, CPA, ROAS, and ultimately revenue.

AI Video Editing & Generation

Strong AI experience is required.

You should be comfortable working with tools such as:

Higgsfield
ElevenLabs
Nano Banana
Adobe Premiere Pro or equivalent professional editing software
AI video generation platforms
AI image generation platforms
AI voice and lip-sync tools
AI enhancement and post-production tools

We care less about the exact software you use and more about the quality of the final result.

AI-generated content should not immediately look AI-generated.

It needs to feel realistic, natural, premium, and believable enough to run as a serious paid advertisement.

Requirements

Must Have:

Proven experience editing paid advertisements for DTC e-commerce brands.
Strong understanding of direct-response marketing.
A portfolio containing ads that were actually used for paid acquisition.
Experience creating performance creatives rather than only organic social content.
Strong sense of pacing, storytelling, hooks, and visual hierarchy.
Ability to create premium fashion creatives.
Strong understanding of different customer personas and how messaging should change between them.
Ability to turn USPs and marketing angles into compelling visual stories.
Experience working with AI-generated video or imagery.
Excellent English communication skills.
Ability to work full-time and consistently hit deadlines.
Extremely high attention to detail.
The Standard We Expect

You should understand the difference between an ad for a premium global fashion brand and a generic e-commerce or dropshipping creative.

A great ad for us needs to achieve both:

Performance + Brand.

Your work should:

Look premium.
Feel authentic.
Look realistic.
Capture attention immediately.
Communicate the USP clearly.
Speak directly to a specific customer persona.
Maintain established brand guidelines.
Create desire for the product.
Drive measurable conversions.
Be good enough to scale significant advertising spend behind it.

We want editors who take pride in seeing their creatives become winners.

Compensation

We believe exceptional creative talent should be rewarded based on the value it creates.

Base Salary: $2,000/month

Performance Bonuses:

$100 for every winning ad creative
Additional $500 when one of your ads reaches $50,000 in ad spend

There is significant upside for editors who consistently produce winning creatives.

If you are genuinely one of the best editors in the industry, we want your compensation to reflect that.

Why Join Us?
Work for an established 8-figure international fashion brand.
See your creatives tested with serious advertising budgets.
Get rewarded directly when your ads perform.
Work with experienced media buyers, marketers, and creative strategists.
Use cutting-edge AI tools as part of the creative process.
Produce a large volume of work and improve extremely quickly through real performance data.
Long-term career and compensation growth for exceptional performers.
To Apply

Please send:

Your portfolio
Your 3–5 best paid ads
The DTC brands you have previously worked with
Any performance data you can share from creatives you edited
Your favorite AI video/image tools and how you use them
One example of an AI-generated or AI-enhanced ad you are proud of

Important: We are looking for experienced performance editors. A portfolio containing only cinematic videos, organic social content, or traditional brand videos will not be enough.

If you know how to create ads that look world-class and generate revenue, we want to hear from you.
