Direct Response Video Editor Needed for Scaling DTC Supplement Brand (Meta Ads)

We are a scaling DTC supplement brand running Meta ads daily, and we are hiring a long-term direct response video editor to plug into our creative machine. This is not gig work. This is an ongoing seat with a real growth path into creative strategy over time. We spend 1,500 to 3,500 USD per day on Meta with a documented creative framework, defined cut rules, and a full creative rubric governing every asset before launch. WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING You will be editing direct response video ads for our Meta campaigns across the full funnel: TOFU long-form storytelling ads, MOFU educational creatives, and BOFU conversion-focused edits. You will turn approved scripts, hooks, and raw assets into ads that convert, using AI tools like ElevenLabs, HeyGen, and Higgsfield alongside traditional editing software (Premiere Pro, CapCut, After Effects, or equivalent). Volume is real. We release new creative every 2 days, 5 to 10 ad sets per batch, meaning multiple creative variations for one-variable testing. You need to be fast, organized, and able to work inside a documented creative framework without cutting corners on quality. Beyond the edit itself, we care about pacing, hook strength at the 1 second mark, caption readability, retention curves, and policy safety. This is a health supplement brand, so understanding what triggers Meta policy flags is critical. B-roll sourcing from social media and stock libraries is part of the role. You will also be maintaining visual and narrative consistency across ads featuring recurring characters and story architectures. Communication is daily. We expect proactive updates on progress and blockers. We want an editor who brings ideas to the table, not just executes tasks. REQUIREMENTS Proven track record editing direct response video ads for e-commerce brands (portfolio required) Strong grasp of Meta ad creative best practices and policy guardrails You understand discovered content aesthetic. Ads should feel native and candid, not polished commercial. Overproduced edits do not convert here. Confident with ElevenLabs, HeyGen, and Higgsfield High proficiency in Premiere Pro, CapCut, After Effects, Final Cut, or equivalent Native or near-native English communication (written and verbal) Fast turnaround and high responsiveness during working hours Detail-obsessed quality control. We do not accept close enough. Able to follow tight creative direction but also bring your own ideas BONUS POINTS Strong long-form editing experience (60 to 180+ second storytelling ads, not just 15 to 30 second shorts). Long-form is the engine of our account. Experience scaling winning ad creatives past 2,000 USD per day spend Copywriting instincts for hook rewrites and script adjustments Familiarity with supplement, health, or beauty DTC verticals GROWTH PATH We want an editor who can grow into creative strategy over time. That means writing your own briefs, developing angles, and eventually owning batches end to end. If that is what you want, we will train you, involve you in strategy calls, and compensate you accordingly as you take on more. COMPENSATION STRUCTURE We start with a paid 2 week trial to make sure the fit is right both ways. Strong performers move into a long-term seat with base pay plus performance bonuses tied to winning ad creatives. Our target hourly range is 25 to 50 USD per hour depending on experience, plus performance bonuses on winning creatives. Applicants pitching significantly outside this range should include clear reasoning.
