JOB OVERVIEW

We're looking for an experienced video editor who specializes in *direct-response YouTube ads* using *talking head footage.*

Your job:
- Turn raw talking head footage into punchy, high-retention ad creatives.
- Apply pacing, captions, sound design, and pattern interrupts that make viewers stop scrolling and take action.

These ads promote digital products — online courses, coaching programs, and live webinars — so understanding *sales-driven storytelling* is crucial.

# Responsibilities
- Edit 2-3min YouTube ads designed for direct-response.
- Hook viewers in the *first 3 seconds* using jump cuts, zooms, captions, and visual pattern interrupts.
- Keep pacing fast, clean, and punchy to maintain retention.
- Add motion graphics, kinetic text, and sound design that enhance engagement — not distract.
- Optimize for ad performance, not entertainment or cinematic polish.
- Collaborate with our team for feedback rounds and revisions focused on improving conversions.

# Must-Have Skills
- Proven experience editing *YouTube ads or direct-response social media ads.*
- Mastery of editing techniques that drive attention and retention:
- Jump cuts
- Zooms and punch-ins
- Kinetic captions
- Pattern interrupts
- Sound effects and music for pacing
- Strong understanding of *direct-response marketing.*
- Ability to make *talking head footage dynamic and engaging.*
- Fluent in English for caption accuracy and context.

If your experience is mainly in vlogs, weddings, cinematic films, or documentaries — this role isn’t a fit.

# Bonus Skills (Optional but Encouraged)
- Edited ads for *courses, coaching, or webinars.*
- Strong design sense for motion graphics and animated text.
- Skilled in sound design, music syncing, and audio optimization.
- Familiarity with YouTube ad creative testing and what drives conversions.

# What Success Looks Like
- Videos hook viewers in the **first 5 seconds.**
- Smooth, punchy pacing with zero boring ---------- nts.
- Engaging visuals that complement, not overpower, the message.
- Videos consistently perform toward ad KPIs: **clicks, leads, and conversions.**
- Minimal revisions needed due to alignment on performance-driven editing.

# How to Apply
If you’re the editor we’re looking for:
- Start your proposal with the keyword “Retention Master” to confirm you read this.
- Share 3–5 links to your best YouTube ad edits (direct-response focused). No vlogs, weddings, or cinematic reels — ads only.
- Briefly explain your experience with editing for attention, retention, and conversions.

Applications without the keyword and relevant portfolio will be ignored.

---
We're performance-driven, collaborative, and straightforward. If you know how to make ads that sell — not just look pretty — we want to work with you.
