Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Editing video sales letters (VSLs), advertorials, and paid social ads from script to final delivery
  • Translating direct response copy into visual sequences that maximize hook rate, hold rate, and conversion
  • Building multiple creative variations for rapid testing — different hooks, CTAs, visual treatments
  • Collaborating directly with our copy team to ensure the edit amplifies the persuasion architecture of each script
  • Motion graphics, text overlays, and b-roll sourcing that reinforce the sales argument (not just “look pretty”)
  • Formatting and exporting for platform-specific specs across Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok

Requirements

  • 3+ years editing direct response or performance marketing video (not brand fluff — we need someone who’s edited assets that had to sell)
  • You’ve worked on VSLs, long-form advertorials, or high-volume paid social creative
  • You understand direct response principles — urgency, proof stacking, objection handling — and can express them visually
  • You’re fast without being sloppy. We test at volume, and speed matters.
  • You take creative direction well but also bring your own ideas for how to make an edit hit harder
  • You’re fluent in Premiere Pro and/or DaVinci Resolve. After Effects is a strong plus.
  • You can work autonomously and manage your own deadlines across multiple projects

Preferred

  • Experience editing for cold traffic campaigns targeting US and Canadian audiences
  • Familiarity with performance metrics (CPAs, ROAS, hook rates, hold rates) and how editing decisions impact them
  • Motion graphics / animation skills beyond basic text overlays
  • Experience with AI-assisted editing workflows

Benefits

  • Work alongside a copy team that operates at an elite level — you’ll sharpen your craft every day
  • Your work will be measured by real performance data, not subjective opinions
  • Remote-first, results-driven culture — no meetings that should’ve been a Slack message
  • Direct exposure to campaigns spending meaningful budgets across major platforms
