Summary

About the Role We're looking for a video editor who lives at the intersection of creative instinct and performance. You'll work with us to edit briefs into high performing videos from our bank of raw footage. This is about effectively creating Meta ad creative from existing footage for our e-commerce brand — working fast, helping us to roll out ads for testing, and executing in new ways to keep visual interest and distinctiveness. While we will give briefs, we also want you to work alongside us in exploring our content archives, spotting new footage we haven't tried, and work in partnership to turn raw footage into ads that stop the scroll. What You'll Do Edit briefs to create a high-volume Meta ad creative (Reels, Stories, feed video) optimised for direct response Work proactively with the team to find new interesting footage in our archives; keeping our ads fresh and interesting Comb through our existing footage library to surface underused assets and repurpose them into new ad variants Build multiple hook variations and cut tests for each concept Use AI video tools (Runway, CapCut AI, Pika, or similar) to accelerate production and extend what's possible with existing footage Deliver polished, platform-native exports ready for upload with no handholding What We're Looking For Must-haves: A portfolio of performance creative — not just beautiful work, but ads you can speak to in terms of results Fast turnaround workflow: you should be comfortable producing multiple variants per week, not one polished piece per month Deep understanding of Meta ad formats, specs, and what makes someone stop scrolling Native fluency with AI video editing tools — you're already using them, not learning about them Strong instinct for pacing, hooks, and the structure of a direct response ad (problem → solution → CTA) Proactive communication style — you bring ideas, flag opportunities, and don't go quiet waiting for direction What Good Looks Like You spot a 30-second clip in our archive from 6 months ago, recut it into a new hook for one of our briefs, add AI-generated B-roll, and ship three variants by end of week — one of which becomes a top performer. That's the job. How to Apply Send us: A short note on how you approach performance creative (2–3 paragraphs max) 3–5 examples of Meta ad creative you've made — ideally with any performance context you can share An example of AI tools you've used in your editing workflow
