Video Editor, Performance Marketing/Paid Social
Beauty, Fashion & Wellness · California

THE COMPANY

The company is a California-based beauty, fashion, and wellness lifestyle platform, built on a foundation of carefully curated content and products. Results are the common language here — clear goals, clear numbers, a visible line from contribution to outcome. AI is native to the way the team works, in every function, which raises the bar on what a small group can accomplish. Authority sits with the work: your scope is defined, and inside it you have real decision rights that we expect you to use. Founder mode is not a phase we are in; it is how the company is built.

REPORTING STRUCTURE

This role reports directly to the VP, Growth & Digital Marketing and is part of the broader Growth & Digital Marketing team.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are seeking a Video Editor to join our Growth & Digital Marketing team. In this role, you will turn raw footage, product shots, UGC, and creator content into ads for platforms such as Meta, TikTok, Pinterest, and YouTube.

This is a high-output, iteration-heavy role: you will edit dozens of variants a week, read performance data directly from the team, and use what you learn to make the next cut better. This isn't brand-film work—it's fast, testable video built for a feed, and success in this role requires being energized by that pace.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Edit high-volume, short-form video ads for paid social channels, producing multiple hooks, formats, and variants for continuous A/B testing.
- Partner closely with the performance marketing team to translate campaign briefs and performance data into new creative directions.
- Cut and repurpose UGC, creator content, influencer partnerships, and organic social footage into paid-ready assets.
- Stay fluent in platform-native trends and formats across TikTok, Instagram/Meta, YouTube Shorts, and Pinterest, and adapt edits accordingly.
- Add captions, sound design, motion graphics, and text overlays that drive retention and click-through.
- Manage a fast turnaround pipeline—prioritizing, versioning, and delivering assets on tight, recurring deadlines.
- Use performance metrics (hook rate, hold rate, CTR, CPA) to inform edit decisions and iterate on winning creative.
- Maintain organized project files and an asset library to support efficient reuse and scaling of top-performing creative.
- Support additional ad hoc projects and initiatives as assigned.

WHAT YOU BRING

- 3+ years of video editing experience, with at least 1–2 years focused specifically on paid social or direct-response performance marketing.
- A reel demonstrating range across hook-driven, fast-paced, social-native edits—not just polished brand video.
- Expert proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud, Canva, CapCut, and Figma.
- Deep, current knowledge of paid social platform specs, trends, and creative best practices.
- Comfort working from performance data, with the ability to translate metrics like hook rate and hold rate into concrete edit decisions.
- Ability to manage high volume without sacrificing craft across tight, recurring timelines.
- Strong collaborator who takes feedback quickly and iterates without ego.
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent preferred; experience in the beauty, wellness, or lifestyle space a plus.
