Short-Form Video Editor for Growing Creative Agency (TikTok/Meta Ads)

I'm ready to give a paid trial task right away to shortlisted applicants, so if you're interested and confident in your skills, I'd love to hear from you. Hi, I'm Anne. I'm building out a lean creative team to support our brand's marketing launch this month, and right now the piece I'm missing is a video editor who can turn raw UGC and creator footage into scroll-stopping, ad-ready content. Basically, I want someone who can take footage + a brief and hand me back something I could run as an ad tomorrow - freeing me up to focus on the creative vision instead of being buried in the timeline. What you'd be doing: - Editing UGC/creator footage into polished short-form video ads for Meta, Instagram, and TikTok - Working from briefs to hit a specific hook, pacing, and style - Adding captions, sound design, and basic motion graphics where needed - Turning edits around quickly to keep up with a fast launch schedule What I'm looking for: 1. Solid short-form/social ad editing experience — hook-driven, fast-paced, thumb-stopping 2. Comfortable working from a brief rather than starting from a blank page 3. Bonus if you've edited UGC or creator content for 4. DTC brands before Reliable, and genuinely fast turnaround 5. A reel/portfolio (required) Rate is around $10–20/hr depending on experience, part-time/freelance and fully remote. You'd be reporting directly to me as Creative Director. To apply: send your reel and your availability. Shortlisted candidates will get a short paid sample task as part of the process. Looking forward to seeing your work! Anne
