JOB OVERVIEW

Job Description

We are looking for a highly creative Short-Form Video Editor who understands how to make videos that stop the scroll, hold attention, and sell.

This is not just a traditional editing position. We want someone who can take raw UGC, podcasts, existing ads, customer footage, product videos, and winning creatives and turn them into high-performing short-form ads for Meta, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and other social platforms.

You should be someone who can look at 20–30 minutes of footage and immediately identify the best 2–5 second hook, strongest ---------- nts, most interesting reactions, and angles that could become an ad.

A big part of this role will also be taking our existing winning ads and finding ways to create new winners from them — new hooks, different openings, different pacing, new voiceovers, different B-roll, pattern interrupts, captions, transitions, and combinations of multiple winning creatives.

What you’ll be doing:

Edit short-form UGC and direct-response video ads
Find powerful hooks inside raw footage and podcasts
Turn long-form podcast/interview footage into engaging ads
Create multiple variations of winning creatives
Combine footage from different ads to create completely new concepts
Test different hooks, openings, pacing, music, captions, B-roll, and CTAs
Keep videos fast-paced and entertaining without making them feel overly edited
Study winning ads and understand why they are working
Organize footage and quickly produce multiple creative variations
Work closely with our creative team to constantly improve performance

We are looking for someone who:

Has experience editing Meta/TikTok direct-response ads
Understands hooks, retention, pacing, storytelling, and conversion
Can make boring footage interesting
Has a strong instinct for what will stop someone from scrolling
Can take direction but also bring their own creative ideas
Is comfortable producing a high volume of edits and variations
Understands that sometimes changing the first 3 seconds can completely change an ad's performance
Is obsessed with finding new ways to make a winning ad even better
