JOB OVERVIEW

**About us

We're a US-based creative agency producing video ads for pool builders and outdoor living contractors. We run a systemized creative operation with scripts, footage, and editor notes handed off cleanly through ClickUp and ---------- . This is a long-term seat on a growing team. We are not looking for gig work or a freelancer juggling five clients.

**What you'll be doing

You'll cut short-form direct response video ads for Meta and Instagram from raw footage, a written script, and editor notes. Expect roughly 4 to 8 ads/content per week once you're up to speed, with revision rounds handled through ---------- .

**What you must already know how to do

This is not an entry-level role. You should be able to do all of the following without being taught:

- Color grade raw and log footage properly. We shoot log, and you need to know what to do with it.
- Speed ramping, in the style of high-end real estate and property videos
- Audio configuration: levels, cleanup, music balance, mixing that doesn't clip
- Animated text and kinetic typography that actually looks designed, not templated
- Cut for retention. You need to understand hooks, pacing, and why a video flows the way it does. We care more about this than anything else on the list.

**Nice to have, not required

-After Effects
-3D animation or 3D text

**Software

You must be fluent in Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or DaVinci Resolve. We are not hiring CapCut editors.

***Requirements

- Proven experience editing video ads specifically. Wedding, YouTube long-form, and real estate reels alone won't cut it here.
- A computer that can handle 4K log and raw footage without crawling
- Stable, fast internet for downloading large footage files
- Clear written and spoken English
- Some overlap with US Eastern time for handoffs and calls
- Exclusive to us. During the part-time phase you may not work with any competing agency or home services client. Once you move to full-time, this becomes fully exclusive.

**Hours and pay

Starting at 20 hours per week at $8 to $15 per hour depending on experience, moving to full-time for the right person.

**Our hiring process

1. Portfolio review. If your profile has no portfolio, you will not be considered. No exceptions.

2. Interview with a live editing test. A video call where we go deep on your process. During the call we will send you a raw log clip and ask you to share your screen, open your editing software, and color grade it while walking us through your thinking. Please be ready to screen share from the machine you actually edit on.

3. Paid test edit. We give you raw footage and a brief and you cut the ad. We pay $25 for this regardless of outcome. The final decision is made here.

We're serious about this role and we're taking our time to find the right person. If that's you, we'll be a great long-term home.

**How to apply

Applications missing any of these will be skipped:

1. Start your message with the word PATIO so we know you read the whole post.
2. Link 1 to 2 short-form video ads you personally edited. Not a montage showreel. Tell us what you were given and what you d ---------- in the edit.
3. Show us one example of your color grading work on log or raw footage.
4. Tell us your computer specs and your internet speed.
5. In 2 to 3 sentences, tell us what makes a hook stop the scroll.
6. Tell us your expected hourly rate.
