Experienced DTC & UGC Video Editor - AI Content Specialist (Higgsfield, Kling, Runway)

Posted 3 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

We are a fast-growing brand looking for a high-level Video Editor who doesn't just trim clips but understands direct-to-consumer (DTC) marketing psychology, user-generated content (UGC) frameworks, and advanced AI video workflows. This is a long-term position. If you perform well on the initial projects, we want to bring you onboard for a consistent monthly pipeline of creative assets. What You Will Do: Edit high-converting DTC video ads for Meta, and TikTok. Transform raw creator UGC footage into fast-paced, scroll-stopping ads. Using AI video tools like Higgsfield, Kling AI, and Runway. Implement aggressive retention tactics, pattern interrupts, and native mobile captioning. Build advanced sound design layers (risers, kinetic impacts, atmospheric soundscapes) optimized for phone speakers. What We Are Looking For: Proven experience editing successful DTC and UGC ads. Deep technical comfort with AI video generation pipelines (extending clips, background generation, text-to-video framing). Mastery over pacing, narrative storytelling, and sub-2-second retention mechanics. Absolute reliability with deadlines and clean communication. Application Requirements (Read Carefully): DTC Portfolio Link: You must include a link to your best DTC and UGC ad edits. Applications without a relevant video portfolio will be automatically ignored. Weekly Capacity: How many polished, final video ads you can realistically deliver per week. Communication Check: We read every single cover letter manually. Write a tailored, strong proposal that demonstrates your communication style and understanding of ad metrics. Attention Filter: To prove you read this entire description to the end and are not a bot or a generic copy-paster, you must start your cover letter with the word "RETENTION" in capital letters. If this keyword is missing, your application will be instantly archived. We are looking to interview and hire immediately. Send us your best work and let's build some winning creatives together! Thanks.
