We're looking for a mid-level Video Editor to cut high-performing paid social ads for Muscle Nation. This is a performance creative role, not a general editing role - you'll turn raw footage into direct-response video ads that stop the scroll and convert.
If you understand how paid ads are structured, know what makes someone stay past the first three seconds, and can turn one shoot into a set of testable variations - we want to hear from you!
About the role
You'll work across Meta and TikTok ad campaigns, collaborating with our Creative Strategist, Paid Media Manager and videographers. You're not assembling clips - you're building ads with a clear grasp of hook, body and CTA, and re-hooking viewers throughout using pacing, pattern interrupts and on-screen text.
- Compensation: $10 USD per month
- Arrangement: Remote, Philippines-based, working with our Australian team
- Start: 30-day contract, transitioning to an ongoing full-time contractor role on performance and mutual fit
- Reports to: Creative Strategist
Your day-to-day
- Edit video ads for paid social across Meta and TikTok, working from footage and assets in Google Drive
- Build 3+ variations per concept for testing - different hooks, pacing, CTAs and treatments
- Craft scroll-stopping hooks in the first 1-3 seconds
- Apply re-hook techniques throughout each ad to sustain attention: pacing shifts, pattern interrupts, text callouts
- Cut for platform-specific formats and ratios (9:16 Stories/Reels, 4:5 Feed, 1:1 where needed)
- Work with the Creative Strategist and Paid Media Manager to interpret briefs, read performance data and iterate
- Coordinate with videographers on available footage and asset needs
- Manage several briefs at once with quick turnarounds
- Keep pace with platform changes and emerging ad formats
What we're looking for
- 2-4 years editing with a focus on social advertising or performance creative
- Strong command of Premiere Pro (or equivalent) - clean, fast, organised project files
- Deep understanding of paid ad structure: how hook, body and CTA work together to convert
- Confident with on-screen text and captions - legible, well-paced, on-brand
- Knowledge of platform specs and best practice across Meta and TikTok
- Track record producing multiple variations for testing
- Works well with feedback and juggles deadlines without dropping quality
- Clear communicator across time zones
Bonus points
- Fitness, wellness or supplement brand experience
- Fluent in paid metrics - CTR, hook rate, hold rate, thumbstop ratio, ROAS
- UGC-style editing for direct response
- Ecommerce or performance agency background
- Familiarity with the Australian market
- Comfortable using AI tools to speed up editing workflows where needed
How to apply
Send us:
- Your portfolio - including at least three paid social ads you edited. For each, one or two lines on what the brief was and what you were going for.
- A short note on your performance creative experience and why this role interests you.
- The short task below.
THE TASK:
We've provided raw footage of our Protein Water:
Using it, cut one 15–30 second ad for Meta, aimed at fitness enthusiasts aged 22–35.
Deliver:
- One edit in 9:16, plus the first 3 seconds re-cut two different ways - so we can see three distinct hook options against the same body
- A few lines on why you chose those hooks and how you'd test them
