Video Editor - Social Media Marketing Ad and UGC video editor

Paid Social Video Editor — Direct Response Ads Hourly Contract | Remote | CST Overlap | 30–40 hrs/week | Ongoing ABOUT US Mass Conversions Digital is a performance marketing agency specializing in ecommerce and lead generation. We run paid social campaigns on Meta and TikTok for DTC and lead gen clients, and our entire operation is built on volume, data, and speed — producing enough creative inventory to find winners fast, then scaling what works. We operate in pods. Each pod is a tight unit of a media buyer, creative strategist, video editor, and copywriter working a shared portfolio of accounts. We're systematic, automation-forward, and built to scale. If you like clean processes, fast feedback loops, and seeing your work tested in live ad accounts within days of finishing it, you'll fit right in. ROLE OVERVIEW We're looking for a video editor with a direct response background — someone who has cut Meta and TikTok ads that performed, not just edited "content." You'll be the production engine of the pod, turning concept briefs from your creative strategist into finished video ads. Your output is the agency's testing inventory, so volume and consistency matter as much as polish. The atomic unit of your work is the concept, not the individual video. A single concept brief may produce multiple video variations depending on the hooks, models, or formats being tested. Your weekly target is approximately 15 concepts completed, which typically yields ~135 final video variations. Concept volume is the primary metric — video count is a secondary health check. This starts as an hourly engagement. Strong performers transition into a long-term retainer relationship after the trial period.
