Posted 3 weeks ago

Summary

EY Digital Media is a performance creative team producing high-converting video ads and VSLs for DTC brands. Our edits don't just look good, they're built to drive spend, ROAS, and scale. We move fast, test relentlessly, and reward editors whose creative actually performs. The Role We're hiring a full-time video editor who can own e-commerce ad creative end-to-end: from raw assets and AI-generated footage to scroll-stopping, conversion-focused ads. This isn't a "cut clips together" role — we want someone who thinks like a marketer and edits like an artist. What You'll Do Edit short-form ads and UGC-style creative for Meta/TikTok (DTC brands) Create and direct AI characters and AI UGC footage (Higgsfield, Kling, ElevenLabs, Nano Banana, etc.) Produce viral-style edits with strong hooks, pacing, captions, sound design, and retention structure Iterate fast on winning ads to scale what works Collaborate with our copy/strategy team on briefs and concepts You're a Fit If You Have 3+ years editing performance/UGC/ad creative (DTC or agency background preferred) Proven ability to create AI characters and AI-generated video, not just edit real footage A reel showing viral or high-performing ad edits Strong instincts for hooks, retention, and what makes people stop scrolling Full-time availability and reliability — this is a long-term role, not a one-off gig Compensation Base: $30 per edited minute, paid on final delivered edits across all projects — your guaranteed floor. Performance bonuses on every ad you create. Top performers earn an extra $100–$800+ per winning creative, based on real ad spend and ROAS. The better your ads perform, the more you make — uncapped. Editor of the Month: +$150, based on output, project completion, revision quality, and ad performance. This structure rewards editors who care about results, not just deliverables. Strong creatives here earn well above their base. How to Apply Start your application with the word "PERFORM" so we know you read this. Share your reel or 2–3 examples of your best ad / UGC / viral edits. Include at least one example of AI-generated video or an AI character you created. In 2–3 sentences, tell us about one ad you edited that performed well and why you think it worked. Applications without examples or the keyword will not be reviewed.
