We're a fast-moving DTC e-commerce brand selling cleaning products across AU, NZ, UK, and EU markets. We run paid social hard — Meta is our primary channel — and we need a video editor who gets ads, not just editing.
WHAT THIS ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE
Editing UGC-style video ad creatives for Meta (Reels/Stories/Feed)
Working from mash-up footage + AI voiceover (ElevenLabs) to produce scroll-stopping hooks
Executing batch creative production — we test multiple hooks, angles, and formats per cycle
Iterating fast on winning concepts: resizing, recuts, new hooks on existing bodies
Adding clean motion graphics where the ad calls for it — text callouts, price tags, arrows, before/after wipes, comparison layouts
Occasional longer-form advertorial and VSL-style edits (2–4 min), where the job is holding attention across a full narrative, not just winning the first 2 seconds
Delivering clean exports ready to upload — no back-and-forth on basics
Volume: roughly 10 concepts per week, briefed by our Creative Strategist.
YOU'RE THE RIGHT FIT IF YOU
Have real experience editing direct-response Meta ads for DTC/e-commerce brands
Understand hook structure, problem-agitate-solution, and why the first 2 seconds d
Can work from a creative brief without needing your hand held
Are comfortable with CapCut, Premiere, or similar — tool matters less than output
Can build clean motion graphics that look premium, not templated
Work AI into your process — Higgsfield, Nano Banana, ElevenLabs, Suno. We use AI to widen creative range and speed, never as a shortcut to low-quality output
Have a portfolio with actual ad creatives, not just brand videos or organic content
BONUS POINTS
Experience with ugly ads / lo-fi UGC style
Can suggest angles or hook variations, not just execute
Experience with advertorial or VSL-style long-form
EU/UK market exposure
THE ROLE
Ongoing, long-term for the right person
Remote, async-friendly, GMT+8 — no graveyard shifts
Direct work with our Creative Strategist. No layers, no bureaucracy
We move fast — turnaround matters
HOW THIS PAYS
We don't pay hourly. We pay per concept, plus bonuses when your work scales.
Base: $15 per concept, paid monthly
Bonuses — paid on ad spend, cumulative:
+$10 — your concept passes $1,000 in ad spend
+$25 — your concept passes $2,500 in ad spend
+$50 — your concept passes $5,000 in ad spend at 2.5 ROAS or above
A concept that scales all the way earns you $85 on top of the base.
How we keep it fair: every concept you deliver gets tested within 14 days — if we don't test it, you're paid the first tier anyway. Every test runs the same budget and structure, so you're judged on your creative and nothing else. You get a live scoreboard showing what every concept you've made has spent, what it returned, and what you've earned.
