Senior Video Editor, DTC Performance Ads
Part-Time, Remote
About our client
Our client is a fast-growing, Japanese-inspired men's apparel brand selling direct to consumer.
The Role
You will turn raw footage (UGC, creator content, B-roll, AI-generated assets) into high-
performing Meta video ads. You'll work with our Head of Creative and in-house creative team,
own your edits from brief to final export, and be measured by how your ads perform.
Weekly Output
• ~5 hero edits per week, each delivered with 3 hook variations
• At least 2 net-new concepts per week (not just iterations)
• Iterations on winning ads when needed
Schedule
Part-time, ~4 hours/day, Monday to Friday, with partial overlap with US business hours. Long-
term contract.

founder-style, product demos, problem/solution, listicles
• Write and cut scroll-stopping hooks; build multiple hook variants per concept
• Add captions, text overlays, sound design, music, and AI voiceover
• Use AI tools (e.g. ElevenLabs, Kling, Higgsfield, Runway) to extend footage and speed
production
• Review performance data (hook rate, hold rate, CTR, ROAS) and apply learnings to
next edits
• Deliver on time and to spec every week
Requirements (must have)
• 3+ years as a video editor

without being told
