Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Cut existing footage, creator clips, and raw captures into ad-ready video variants for Meta, TikTok, YouTube, X, etc..
  • Craft scroll-stopping hooks and tight pacing built to hold attention and drive action.
  • Bring original concepts and angles to the table, not just execute against specs.
  • Produce multiple iterations of winning concepts to feed continuous creative testing.
  • Apply native-to-feed technique: dynamic captions, pattern interrupts, on-screen text, and motion graphics.
  • Adapt edits across formats and placements (9:16, 1:1, 4:5) for Stories, Reels, and Feed.
  • Turn performance signals into sharper cuts, doubling down on what’s working.
  • Keep a fast, organized turnaround so fresh creative is always ready to test.

Requirements

  • A strong portfolio of short-form video ads you’ve cut for live Meta and/or TikTok campaigns.
  • Senior-level command of Adobe Premiere Pro, plus After Effects for motion graphics and CapCut for fast cuts.
  • A real grasp of direct-response creative: hooks, angles, pacing, and why a cut wins or loses, not just how it looks.
  • Proven ability to produce a high volume of variants at pace without dropping quality.
  • A proactive, self-directed working style. You spot what’s missing and bring ideas without being asked.
  • Fluency editing native short-form for Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok across standard ad formats.

Preferred

  • Experience at a consumer subscription app, a growth agency running paid social, or a DTC/ecommerce brand.
  • Comfort reading performance metrics such as hook rate, hold rate, and CTR, and adjusting creative accordingly.
  • Comfort folding AI tools into a creative workflow to move faster.
  • A love of music and an eye for culture.
