MID/SENIOR AI VIDEO EDITOR

Responsibilities

• Create AI UGC — choosing the right environments, voices, delivery, and visual style for the target audience.
• Build AI talking heads that actually feel human — casting the face, voice, personality, movement, and delivery instead of settling for the first acceptable generation.
• Generate realistic, organic-looking AI B-roll, product demonstrations, animations, and motion graphics instead of relying on generic stock footage.
• Prompt, re-prompt, and problem-solve until AI output looks believable enough to ship — not simply “good enough for AI.”
• Edit short-form and long-form performance ads, including talking heads, VSLs, UGC, animation-heavy concepts, and hybrid formats.
• Make independent creative decisions when something in the brief, script, or generated material doesn’t work visually.
• Work closely with Creative Directors and understand the strategy behind the creative instead of blindly following instructions.
• Use hooks, pacing, sound design, captions, B-roll, and visual structure intentionally to improve retention and conversion.
• Review your own work critically and catch problems before someone else has to point them out.
• Test new AI models, tools, and workflows — and turn successful experiments into repeatable processes.

Requirements

• Strong video editing fundamentals
• Ability to work independently without constant direction or detailed feedback.
• Strong creative judgment. You should immediately notice when an avatar looks generic, a voice feels lifeless, B-roll doesn’t match, pacing feels weak, or an AI generation looks uncanny.
• Understanding of performance marketing fundamentals — hooks, retention, pain points.
• Ability to explain why a creative works or doesn’t work, rather than simply whether you like it.
• Strong Premiere Pro skills. After Effects and other creative tools are a big plus.
• Hands-on experience with AI image, video, and voice generation — and the ability to adapt quickly as better models appear.
• Ability to create scroll-stopping first 1–3 seconds and understand how important the opening is to the entire ad.
• Strong sense of pacing, sound design, and storytelling.
• High quality standards. You don’t ship something just because the AI technically generated it successfully.

Preferred

• Have experience with tools like Higgsfield, Veo, Kling, ElevenLabs, HeyGen , or similar.
• Have worked specifically with DTC, performance marketing, or paid social advertising.
• Understand how Creative Directors and Media Buyers evaluate and iterate ads based on performance.
• Can study winning competitor creatives
