Freelance Video Editor Wanted — Premium Social Ads & Native Content Creator (Remote)

We are looking for a talented freelance video editor specialized in premium social media content and high-performing ads.

We are looking for someone who can combine:

• a cinematic and high-end visual identity;
• sharp and punchy editing;
• strong storytelling;
• social-first pacing optimized for retention;
• native content principles adapted for paid and organic platforms.

The goal is to create videos that do not feel like traditional advertisements, but rather like compelling social content that naturally captures attention while delivering strong marketing impact.

We are looking for someone who can transform raw footage into scroll-stopping content that hooks viewers within the first seconds.

CONTENT FORMATS

Formats:

The objective is to create premium native content: videos that feel organic on social platforms while maintaining the visual standards of luxury campaigns.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Beyond technical execution, we are looking for someone who can:

• Build strong narrative structures;
• Find the strongest moments in raw footage;
• Create powerful hooks in the first 1–3 seconds;
• Understand audience psychology and retention;
• Create dynamic, engaging pacing;
• Balance creativity with performance objectives;
• Adapt editing style for both organic content and paid ads.

We are looking for a creative storyteller with a performance mindset, not just a video editor.

• Ability to suggest new creative angles and formats.

Preferred software:

• Adobe Premiere Pro

• (or equivalent)

WORKFLOW

Process:

1. Receive raw footage and creative brief;
2. Suggest creative angles, hooks, or simple storyboards when needed;
3. Deliver first edited version;
4. Apply feedback and optimize;
5. Deliver final versions adapted for social platforms and ads.

We are looking for a long-term creative partnership, not a one-time project.

IDEAL PROFILE

We are looking for someone who:

• Understands premium and luxury brand aesthetics;
• Knows how to create content that stops the scroll;
• Has a strong visual culture and creative intuition;
• Understands both branding and performance marketing;
• Brings ideas and creative recommendations;
• Keeps up with evolving social media trends and formats.

Experience working with cosmetics brands is a strong plus.
