JOB OVERVIEW

I’m a U.S.-based UGC creator looking for a talented short-form video editor to join my team long-term.

I create high-volume UGC ads for brands, primarily in men’s fashion, eyewear, fitness, grooming, and lifestyle. I’m looking for someone who can take my raw footage and turn it into clean, high-performing Meta, Instagram, and TikTok ads.

Your main job:

I film. You edit.

I want to be able to send you batches of raw footage and instructions, and have you turn them into finished ads without me spending hours editing them myself.

What you’ll be doing:

* Editing 9:16 short-form UGC videos, usually 15–60 seconds
* Cutting pauses, mistakes, and dead space
* Creating natural, fast-paced jump cuts
* Adding clean, easy-to-read captions
* Adding text, B-roll, product shots, music, and sound effects when appropriate
* Following reference ads and examples I provide
* Editing multiple hook variations from similar footage
* Organizing and naming finished files correctly
* Making revisions when needed
* Learning my editing style so less direction is needed over time

These are direct-response social media ads — not cinematic videos. I care much more about strong hooks, pacing, retention, and making the content feel native to TikTok/Instagram than flashy transitions or unnecessary effects.

You can use CapCut, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or another professional editing program. I care about the finished product, not which software you use.

I’m looking for someone who:

* Has experience editing TikTok, Reels, Shorts, UGC, or paid social ads
* Has excellent English comprehension
* Understands short-form pacing and viewer retention
* Can follow instructions and reference videos closely
* Is organized and reliable
* Communicates well
* Can handle batches of videos efficiently
* Wants a long-term position with the opportunity to grow as my business grows

UGC/direct-response advertising experience is a major plus.

HOW TO APPLY:

Start your application with the word SUNGLASSES so I know you read the entire posting.

Then answer these questions:

1. Send links to the 3 videos you’ve edited that are most similar to UGC/TikTok/Meta ads. Please don’t send only a general portfolio.
2. What editing software do you use?
3. Have you edited UGC or paid social advertisements before?
4. Approximately how many 30–60 second talking-head videos could you edit in one working day?
5. What’s your normal turnaround time for a batch of 10 videos?
6. How many hours per week are you currently available?
7. What rate are you looking for?
8. Are you currently working with any other clients?

I will select a small number of applicants for a paid editing test using the same raw footage and instructions.

I’m looking for someone I can build with long-term. If you’re great at what you do, reliable, and make my life easier, there will be significantly more work and responsibility available as the business grows.
