Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end video editing for performance creative — from raw footage and briefs to export-ready ads across all Meta placements (Feed, Reels, Stories).
• Cut 15–60 second video ads optimized for thumb-stop: nail the hook in the first 3 seconds, pace for retention, close for conversion.
• Edit across multiple formats and styles — UGC, founder story, talking head, text overlay, product demo, mashup, and AI-assisted creative.
• Apply motion graphics, text animations, captions, and overlays that enhance without overwhelming. Clean, confident, on-brand.
• Manage multiple projects simultaneously with fast turnaround — this is a high-volume environment where 4–8 new video ads per week is the baseline.
• Partner closely with the Lead Creative Strategist to understand creative briefs deeply — not just what the ad looks like, but why the concept should work and what the conversion mechanism is.
• Bring editorial instinct to every cut — identify the moments in raw footage that weren't in the brief but elevate the ad.
• Participate in weekly creative reviews — share what's working in the edit bay, surface patterns from high-performing cuts, and contribute to the team's creative learning velocity.
• Collaborate with the Content Producer to provide feedback on footage quality, shot lists, and what's needed from future shoots to make the edit faster and stronger.

Requirements

• 4+ years of video editing experience, ideally cutting performance ads for DTC, social, or direct response.
• Expert-level proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro. After Effects proficiency strongly preferred.
• A reel that demonstrates range — UGC cuts, polished brand spots, fast-paced social edits, and anything that shows you understand how to edit for conversion, not just aesthetics.
• Instinctive understanding of pacing, rhythm, and the psychology of the first 3 seconds. You know what makes someone stop scrolling.
• Experience with AI-assisted video tools (Runway, Kling, CapCut, Descript) is a strong plus.
• Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple concurrent projects without dropping quality.
• Fast without being sloppy. High-volume output with consistent craft.
• Clear, concise communicator who simplifies complexity and drives action.
• Enthusiasm for shaping a truth-seeking team culture with a commitment to personal growth and organizational excellence.

Nice To Have

• Prior experience working in a high-volume performance creative team
• Proficiency in additional editing tools beyond Premiere Pro (e.g., After Effects, Final Cut Pro)
