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"โ€ฆ Actually knowing if your creative works becomes nearly impossible. We know because we've been there. ๐Ÿšจ 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 1โ€“2 finished AI UGC concepts per day. You're not just cutting briefs โ€” you're a creative partner. You flag weak scripts before they get edited. You bring hook ideas nobody asked for. You treat every concept like it has a real shot at scaling. Your Core Responsibilities: 1. Creative Execution Produce 1โ€“2 finished AI UGC ad concepts per day, every working day Craft 3+ scroll-stopping hook variations per concept (minimum โ€” not a suggestion) Structure every ad: hook โ†’ problem โ†’ solution โ†’ proof โ†’ CTA Add captions, sound design, music, and pattern interrupts that hold attention past the hook Turn around revisions within 12โ€“24 hours โ€” no chasing 2. AI Production Produce AI UGC using HeyGen, Arcads, Kling, ElevenLabs, Captions, Claude, Runway Output must look indistinguishable from real footage Source B-roll, stock, and UGC assets independently โ€” don't wait to be handed everything 3. Growth & Learning Complete a weekly 30-minute ad review โ€” your concepts vs. what's winning in market Watch 1 hour of Ecom Talent training daily (built into paid hours) Study competitor ads and trending formats weekly What We're Looking For We're looking for more than a typical "video editor" โ€” we need a performance-obsessed creative who thinks like a marketer and is hungry to grow into strategy. Must-Have Experience: Already using AI tools daily: HeyGen, Arcads, Kling, ElevenLabs, Runway, or equivalent โ€” not "willing to learn" Can show real AI UGC examples that look indistinguishable from real footage 1+ year editing DTC Meta ads: AI UGC, UGC, VSLs, B-roll voiceover Proficient in CapCut or Adobe Premiere Zero side clients โ€” full attention only Must-Have Attributes: Hooks Obsessed: You live in the first 1โ€“5 seconds Ownership-Driven: You don't wait to be told every step Data Over Ego: Performance over personal attachment to your work Organized: Clean files, named projects, nothing gets lost Compensation & Perks Base: $1,500โ€“$2,500/month based on experience and output quality Winning Ad Bonuses โ€” uncapped, rate disclosed in interview Daily Ecom Talent training built into paid hours โ€” we pay for it Access to Evolve, one of the top marketing consulting groups in e-commerce Remote & fully async-flexible Creative Strategist growth path โ€” for the right person who performs, this is where we want to take you ๐Ÿ““ Our Hiring Process Submit a 3-minute Loom: show your best AI UGC ad, walk through your hook choice, and tell us what AI tools you're actively using today. Participate in an Intro Call with our Creative Director. Complete a Paid Test โ€” one AI UGC brief, 48 hours, paid. Offer. We will not respond to proposals without a Loom. We've built this brand to be the place performance editors come to grow into the best creative minds in DTC. If you're ready to do work you can actually track โ€” and build a career doing itโ€ฆ Hit apply.
