Direct-Response Video Editor

We build saunas, cold plunges, and red light therapy equipment and we're scaling our Meta ads hard. We have a large library of raw footage — customer installs, studio builds, product shots — and we need one dedicated editor turning it into high-performing ads every single week. You'll work directly with the co-CEO, and this is a long-term seat: full-time, one client (us), guaranteed 40 hours a week. What you'll do: Cut 10 short-form video ads per week (15–60 sec) from our footage and written scripts Write and style captions, add text hooks and headline overlays Export 4:5 and 9:16 for Meta feed, Reels, and Stories Iterate winners weekly: new hooks and new first-3-seconds on ads that are scaling Work from written creative briefs with 24–48 hour turnarounds You're a fit if: You've spent 2+ years editing paid social ads — actual Meta/TikTok ads for real brands, not YouTube videos or event films You can show 3 ads you personally edited and explain exactly what you did on each You edit for sound-off viewing, know platform safe zones, and cut fast (every 2–3 seconds, no cinematic slow builds) CapCut or Premiere — your choice. We use OpusClip for rough cuts; you finish and polish Process: We'll shortlist from applications, then send finalists a short paid test project ($150 flat, 48-hour deadline, two finished ads from our footage). The winner starts a paid 30-day trial at full rate with a 10-ad weekly quota, then we convert to a long-term monthly retainer. How to apply — read carefully, we filter on this: Start your proposal with the word STEALTH Link 3 ads you personally edited and state your exact role on each Tell us your hourly rate and earliest start date Proposals missing any of these three will be declined without reading. Generic or AI-written cover letters will be obvious — three good links matter more than three paragraphs.
