Senior Performance Video Editor (Meta/TikTok Ads + AI) | Long-Term | Multiple Shopify Brands

We're looking for a world-class performance video editor who understands one thing above all else: creating ads that convert. LaunchVector operates a portfolio of fast-growing DTC Shopify brands across Beauty, Wellness, Home, Apparel, Pets, and more. We launch, acquire, and scale brands by producing high-performing Meta and TikTok creatives—and we're looking for someone who can help us produce winning creative at scale. This isn't traditional video editing. We're looking for someone who understands direct-response advertising, studies winning ads, and knows how to turn one successful concept into multiple high-performing variations using both traditional editing and the latest AI tools. This is a long-term opportunity with consistent work, multiple brands, and room to grow into a full-time position. What You'll Do Your primary responsibility is to create high-converting paid social creatives for Meta and TikTok. You'll: Edit short-form paid social ads using raw footage, UGC, product content, and brand assets. Create multiple variations of winning ads by testing different hooks, openings, pacing, captions, CTAs, angles, and structures. Use AI tools to generate new creative when needed, including avatars, voiceovers, lip sync, scene generation, localization, scripting, and concept iteration. Study top-performing ads inside Motion and recreate successful creative frameworks. Produce platform-native content that feels authentic rather than overproduced. Work across multiple Shopify brands simultaneously. Deliver assets through Google Drive and Airtable while communicating with our team in Slack. Move quickly while maintaining excellent organization and attention to detail. What We're Looking For We're looking for someone who already understands performance creative—not someone learning it. You should have: Proven experience editing Meta and TikTok paid social ads. Experience working with DTC eCommerce brands. Strong understanding of hooks, retention, pacing, storytelling, proof, and calls-to-action. Excellent editing skills in CapCut, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or similar software. Hands-on experience using AI creative tools such as Higgsfield, HeyGen, HeyGen Studio, Runway, Kling, Veo, Pika, Captions, Arcads, or similar platforms. Ability to rapidly produce creative variations from winning concepts. Strong communication skills and reliability in a remote, asynchronous environment. A mindset focused on testing, learning, and improving creative performance. Bonus Points Experience editing for Beauty, Wellness, Home, Apparel, Pet, or other impulse-buy products. Experience in high-volume creative testing environments. Ability to script or concept new ad angles—not just edit footage. Constantly experimenting with new AI tools and workflows. Understanding of Meta creative strategy and what drives ROAS. Our Workflow You'll have access to: Motion for competitive research and winning ads. Existing winning creatives and references. Continuous raw footage and UGC. Clear creative briefs. Ongoing feedback from our growth team. We use: Slack Airtable Google Drive What Success Looks Like Delivering high-quality creatives consistently. Producing multiple testable variations from each concept. Fast turnaround without sacrificing quality. Helping us discover new winning ads. Managing multiple creative queues simultaneously. This Role Is NOT For You If... You primarily edit YouTube videos, podcasts, or cinematic content. You've never worked on performance-focused paid social advertising. You don't actively use AI creative tools. You're slow to communicate or frequently miss deadlines. You're looking for a short-term freelance project. To Apply Please include: Your 3–5 best Meta or TikTok paid ad creatives. 1–3 examples where you used AI tools to create or enhance ad content. Which AI tools you currently use every week and how they fit into your workflow. Which editing software you primarily use. Your favorite ad you've ever created and why you believe it performed well. Finally, begin your proposal with the words "Creative Velocity" so we know you've read the entire job description. We're looking for someone who wants to become a long-term member of our creative team. If you're passionate about performance marketing, AI-powered creative production, and building ads that drive measurable results, we'd love to hear from you.
