About the Role

We’re looking for a skilled and creative video editor experienced in crafting UGC and VSL ads for Meta.
This role goes beyond simple cutting — it’s about storytelling, pacing, and psychology of direct-response advertising.

You’ll be producing high-impact ad creatives that combine authentic UGC footage, persuasive copy, and AI-generated elements (voice, visuals, or transitions).
Each 1-minute video can take 4–8 hours from concept to final export.

• Build strong hooks (first 3 seconds) and maintain high engagement throughout

• Integrate AI-generated assets (voiceovers, visuals, transitions) when relevant

• Apply direct-response logic: problem solution proof CTA

• Collaborate closely with creative strategists, copywriters, and content managers

• Implement feedback quickly, keeping high creative output under SOPs

Requirements

• Proven portfolio of UGC/VSL ads (Meta, TikTok, or YouTube Shorts)

• Strong understanding of direct-response ad structure and storytelling

• Proficiency in video editing tools (Premiere Pro, After Effects, CapCut, etc.)

• Basic familiarity with AI-assisted tools (Runway, ElevenLabs, etc.)

• Attention to detail, sense of rhythm, and understanding of ad psychology

• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, feedback-driven environment

• English fluency required

Tools & Workflow

• Hubstaff time tracking

• ClickUp for task management

• Access to premium tools (Storyblocks, Runway, ElevenLabs, etc.)

• Showcase hooks, pacing, CTA, and storytelling
