Summary

Video Editor for UGC & Paid Social Ads — Ecom Brand We're a fast-growing premium e-commerce brand running high-volume paid ads on Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and other paid channels. We're looking for an editor who turns raw creator footage into scroll-stopping, high-converting ads — polished, intentional, and premium. What you'll edit • Short-form ads (15–60s) from UGC and professional creator footage • Music-driven edits: track selection, cuts synced to the beat, voiceover timed to complement the music — polished, hype, luxury-fashion energy • Seasonal campaign content (Black Friday / Christmas) from our briefs and mood boards • Occasional longer-form edits (1–4 min) What we're hiring for • Rhythm and pacing — you cut to the music, not just the script, and you win the first 2–3 seconds • Premium taste — you know what reads expensive vs. cheap, and our brand lives on that line • Clean audio — proper voice/music mixing, correct levels, VO synced to the cut • Judgment — you follow a brief but improve it: better track, better cut, stronger hook • DTC/e-commerce ad experience (watches, fashion, lifestyle a big plus), fast turnaround, clean revisions How we'll hire 1. Apply with your portfolio — real ads you've cut preferred over showreels; include beat-synced work 2. Shortlisted editors get a paid trial project on our footage and brief We provide footage, briefs, mood boards, brand guidelines, and full onboarding. You focus on editing. To apply, send: portfolio + 2–3 edits you're most proud of, your software stack, weekly availability, and one line on what separates good editing from great editing. Applications without relevant portfolio links won't be considered.
