Direct Response Video Editor | Meta Ads | DTC Brand | Long-Term

Direct Response Video Editor | Meta Ads | DTC Brand | Long-Term We’re hiring one direct response video editor to join a small creative team whose work has driven eight figures in DTC revenue. This is a long-term role for someone who already understands Meta ads and wants to get significantly better at performance creative. We don’t hire often. When we open a seat on this team, it’s because we’re looking for someone we can invest in for the long term. You’ll see the numbers behind your work, learn why certain ads scale, and earn performance bonuses when your creative becomes a scaled winner. We sell products people use every day to sleep better and regulate their nervous system. We’re growing quickly, which means meaningful ad spend, high creative volume, and plenty of opportunities for your work to get tested. This is not a brand-film editing role.We ship creative, read the data, kill what loses, and iterate what wins. The Work: You’ll typically produce 15 to 30 ad variants per week from UGC, founder-led footage, product b-roll, statics, AI-generated assets, and existing winners. A large share of that is hook variations and remixes rather than 30 completely new builds. You should be able to take a written brief and produce three strong executions without needing a call. Craft Matters: A lot of performance brands accept that direct response creative has to look cheap. We don’t. The ad still needs to convert, but pacing, sound design, typography, framing, and attention to detail matter here. We want performance creative that feels native to Meta without making the brand look disposable. Growth & Development: We want this to be a role you can grow with. You’ll get direct feedback on your creative, visibility into how your ads perform, and access to the same tools, courses, and resources we use to sharpen our own creative thinking. We invest in paid industry courses, AI tools, creative software, and training where they help you improve, whether that means becoming a stronger editor, learning new production workflows, or understanding more of the strategy behind winning ads. Both founders started as editors, so we know how valuable it is to keep developing your craft while gradually building a broader understanding of performance creative. As you grow, there’s also room to take on more ownership across hooks, angles, concepts, and strategy if that’s a direction you want to explore. You’ll Thrive Here If: You are genuinely interested in ecommerce and performance marketing. You watch other brands’ ads and think about why the hook works, where attention drops, and how you would improve the next variation. You want to understand the account, not just receive files and export edits. We’re a small team. We expect taste, speed, reliability, and curiosity. Do Not Apply If: * You have never edited an ad that ran on Meta with real spend * Your portfolio is mainly weddings, music videos, YouTube long-form, or corporate work * You need a call to understand a clear written brief * You are looking for one-off project work * You outsource your edits We are hiring you, not your team. Tools: Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro or CapCut fluency is expected. We also use Higgsfield and ElevenLabs for AI-generated assets and voiceover, alongside monday.com, Slack, Foreplay, and Google Drive. Clean file organisation is non-negotiable. Pay: Competitive monthly retainer, long-term. Compensation is reviewed after 60 days and again at six months, with increases for people who improve and take ownership. You’ll also receive a performance bonus on ads that become scaled winners. Exact compensation will be discussed once we’ve reviewed your work. Trial: Shortlisted candidates may be asked to complete a small trial based on a real creative brief. We want to see how you interpret direction, the standard you hold yourself to, and how much you genuinely want the opportunity. The scope and any compensation for the trial will be agreed upfront before you begin. To Apply: Start your proposal with the word **orange**. Anything that does not begin with it will be archived unread. Then send: 1. Three Meta Ad Library links to ads you personally edited that ran with real spend. 2. Your realistic weekly output at consistent quality. 3. One example of an ad you made using AI-generated assets, including the tools used. No agency showreels or generic portfolios. Keep it short. We’re reading for signal, taste, and experience, not length.
