AI UGC Video Editor ๐ Remote | $1,500โ$2,500/month + Winning Ad Bonuses
Worldwide
Summary As a video editor working for DTC brands, instead of actually seeing your work perform โ You often become the "Head of Delivering Files" instead. From cutting briefs with no context, never seeing the data, juggling multiple clients, and getting feedback like "can you make the hook pop more"โฆ Actually knowing if your creative works becomes nearly impossible. We know because we've been there. ๐จ And Spoiler Alert: It wasn't for us. So, instead of editing into a black hole โ what if every concept you cut came with real numbers? Hook rate. Retention curve. What scaled and why. What died in 48 hours and exactly why. You know that feeling when you nail a hook and just know it's going to stop the scroll? Imagine getting to find out if you were right. Every single time. Fun right? Well, that's exactly what the AI UGC Video Editor role at our brand is all about. Working directly alongside our Creative Director to produce winning AI UGC ads โ for a 7-figure women's fashion brand that has hit $100K days on Meta โ while building the skills and knowledge to eventually grow into a Creative Strategist role. So, if this sounds like your kind of thing, and you like the idea of being a true creative partner with a real path to strategy โ not just an executor โ This opportunity is for you. About Us We're a 8-figure women's fashion brand that runs entirely on Meta. Every dollar of revenue has come from the creative. We're lean, AI-first, and obsessed with what actually works on paid social. Unlike brands that hand editors a script and say "make it look good" โ we treat creative as the #1 growth lever. That means every editor on this team works directly with our Creative Director, sees real performance data, and has a voice in what gets made. We also invest heavily in our people. Every editor on this team gets daily access to Ecom Talent โ one of the best video editing and creative training platforms in e-commerce โ and the support of Evolve, one of the top marketing consulting groups in the industry. We pay for it. You grow from it. The better our creative gets, the faster we scale. That's the only way we grow. The Role: What You'll Own As our AI UGC Video Editor, you'll work directly with our Creative Director, Jacob, to produce 1โ2 finished AI UGC concepts per day.
