🔥 High-Performance Video Editors for Paid Social (Meta Ads & Beyond)

Posted last month

Worldwide

Summary

We're a vidtech startup scaling fast, and we want editors who treat every ad like a performance machine - not just a pretty clip. This isn't for generalists. We want editors who live paid social: who know why one hook beats another, who study what's winning on Meta this week, and who edit with one job in mind - make the viewer stop, watch, and act. If you get a little obsessed with the first 3 seconds and the retention curve, keep reading. ⸻ About Vedio We turn raw client footage into high-performance video built to convert on Meta, TikTok, and Shorts. Clients shoot/deliver it; we own post-production. We move fast across many projects, and we're building a small, trusted crew to grow with long-term - as we scale, our best editors scale with us. ⸻ What You'll Be Editing Performance creative - video made to be tested, run as ads, and judged on results: UGC-style and direct-response ads Hook-driven cuts built for the scroll-stopping feed Multiple hook and angle variations of the same footage for testing You're fluent in hooks that earn the first 3 seconds, retention-focused pacing and clean jump cuts, platform-native editing for Meta / TikTok / Shorts, and building a video with intent: hook → hold → payoff → CTA. No heavy motion graphics, and captions are auto-generated on our platform - so all your energy goes where it moves the numbers. ⸻ What Makes You a Great Fit This is the part that matters. We want editors with fire in their eyes: You know the trends - and why they work, not just that they're hot You think like a strategist, not a button-pusher You can dissect a winning ad and rebuild that magic from scratch You're hungry to test, iterate, and beat your own best cut "Good enough" feels like failure to you ⸻ How We Work Our custom platform kills the messy parts. You get the footage, a clear brief with references, auto-captions, and a clean project structure - so you spend your time editing, not chasing files. Most projects land during European hours (08:00–16:00 CET). The work is flexible, but we want editors who are reachable in that window, communicate sharply, handle feedback like a pro, and hit deadlines every time. ⸻ Grow With Us Hit our bar and deliver consistently, and the projects keep coming - a steady flow of work and clients. Many editors stay with us long-term across multiple projects. We grow fast, and we bring our best people along. ⸻ Requirements Real, extensive experience editing short-form / paid social Professional workflow in Adobe Premiere Pro Current, sharp understanding of hooks, trends, pacing, and what converts Fast turnaround, clear communication, total reliability ⸻ The Test Project (This Is the Real Application) Here's the deal: anyone can list credits. We want to see you edit. Download our raw footage and brief here 👉 https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1146ZmNSGZhED87J76-02PSaav3lZjzTS?usp=sharing Cut it into a performance ad and send it with your application. We want to see real quality - a hook that stops the scroll, clean pacing, the instincts a performance ad needs today. Yes, it's a little investment of your time. That's the point. The editors who put in the work here are the ones we build a long-term collaboration and steady revenue stream with. Bring your A-game and it pays off. ⸻ Examples of Our Work 👉 www.vedio.dk ⸻ How to Apply Send us: A short video intro - who you are and why performance video is your thing.
