Posted yesterday

Worldwide

Summary

We are looking for a Performance Video Editor who understands conversion psychology—not just aesthetics. Must have proven experience editing videos for DTC / E-Commerce brands. We need an editor who can take raw UGC, unpolished phone footage, testimonials, and product clips and transform them into high-converting, scroll-stopping video ads that capture attention, hold retention, and drive sales. About Us: We’re a fast-growing DTC skincare brand focused on emotional storytelling, relatable content, and rapid ad testing. Our videos don’t just "look nice"—they solve real skin problems, build trust, and scale campaigns. What You’ll Do: Edit high-converting short-form video ads for Meta (Instagram/Facebook), TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Amazon. Take raw UGC, product B-roll, testimonials, customer reviews, and before/after clips and shape them into persuasive ad creative.Implement rapid-fire hooks, dynamic subtitles, visual overlays, social proof points, and clear calls-to-action (CTAs) based on briefs. Build 3–5 modular variations from the same base footage to rapidly test different hooks, pacing, audio tracks, and angles. Utilize performance data (Hook Rate, Hold Rate, CTR, CPA) to iterate on underperforming ads and double down on winners. Requirements: Location: Must be based in Latin America (LatAm). Proven experience editing direct-response video ads for DTC e-commerce brands (beauty, skincare, supplements, or self-care is a major plus). Strong understanding of classic performance ad structures. Proficient in editing raw smartphone/UGC footage to make it look authentic yet professional. Native knowledge of platform-specific styles and trends across TikTok, IG Reels, Meta Ads, and YouTube. High fluency in written and spoken English. Bonus Points: Case studies or examples of ads you’ve edited that successfully scaled (high ROAS, strong 3-second hook retention). Highly organized workflow: ability to tag/organize raw assets and create modular, reusable timelines. Understanding of direct-response marketing psychology and consumer buying triggers. Important Application Instruction: Please start your proposal with the word "apple" (lowercase, exactly as written). Any proposal that does not begin with "apple" will be automatically ignored. To Apply, Please Submit:Links to 3–5 performance-focused video ads you’ve edited (please send actual ad creative, not cinematic reels or music videos). A short note explaining your approach to editing for conversion vs. pure aesthetics. Your typical availability and preferred pricing structure (hourly, per-video rate, or monthly package).
