Summary

We're hiring a direct response video editor to create ad creative for two of our DTC e-commerce brands — one in the pet niche and one in the baby niche. ----------------------------- This is an ongoing role with consistent volume, starting ASAP. ----------------------------- What you'll be doing ----------------------------- Editing direct response video ads (UGC, static-style, hook-driven, problem/solution, testimonial cuts, etc.) for Meta. Cutting fast, punchy hooks and retention-focused pacing built for paid social. Sourcing and generating AI b-roll, transitions, and supporting visuals to elevate raw footage. Iterating quickly on winning concepts and producing variations for testing ----------------------------- Who we're looking for ----------------------------- Specialist in DR DTC Editing for E-Commerce brands - if you do YouTube Longform, LinkedIn, etc - DO NOT APPLY The ideal candidate needs to understand pacing, hook structure, pattern interrupts, captions, and what makes a DR ad convert (not just look pretty) Experience editing in the pet or baby niche (either is fine, both is a bonus) Strong AI tooling skills — specifically Higgsfield for AI b-roll generation, and comfort with Kling, Seedance, or similar video models. If you know how to prompt and integrate AI-generated b-roll cleanly into DR ads, that's a big plus A portfolio of past DR ad edits — please share examples, and include any performance results (CTR, CPA, ROAS, spend, etc.) if you have them Availability & communication — please read this carefully This is the part most editors fall down on, and it's the fastest way to not get hired: You need to be available throughout the week Fast response times during working hours — we don't want to chase you Reliable internet and a reliable computer — no recurring "my wifi is down" or "my laptop crashed" excuses We need someone communicative who gives status updates, asks questions, and doesn't go silent mid-project If you're juggling 5 other clients and can only reply once a day, this isn't the role for you. ----------------------------- To apply, please include: ----------------------------- Your portfolio (ideally with DR ads, pet/baby niche if possible) Any performance results from past edits Your weekly availability and timezone Confirmation you've used Higgsfield (and any other AI video tools) Your rate (per edit or hourly) ----------------------------- Looking to hire this week.
