Ecommerce Video Editor (VSL, UGC & Talking-Head Specialist)
Schedule: Full-Time | Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–5:00 PM GST (Dubai Time)

About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Ecommerce Video Editor with deep expertise in direct-response content, including VSLs, social-optimized UGC, and high-retention Talking-Head ads. This role requires both strong creative instincts and a data-driven mindset—someone who understands how to craft videos that grab attention, build emotional connection, and convert viewers into buyers.

You will be responsible for producing fast-paced, persuasive, platform-optimized videos that align with performance goals across Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and landing pages. If you thrive in ecommerce, understand what makes an ad sell, and can consistently deliver scroll-stopping content, this role is for you.

Key Responsibilities

Direct-Response Video Production

Produce high-converting Video Sales Letters (VSLs), including structuring hooks, pacing narratives, managing proofs, and optimizing emotional flow.
Edit Talking-Head ads with strong emphasis on retention techniques, punch-in transitions, kinetic captions, pattern breaks, and thumb-stopping openers.
Create UGC-style ads that feel native, social-first, and authentic across Meta & TikTok.

Creative Strategy & Research

Conduct competitor research and analyze high-performing ads to inform angles, hooks, and storytelling frameworks.
Translate creative briefs into compelling visual scripts and sequences.
Collaborate with creative strategists to refine storyboards, concepts, and messaging.

Technical Editing & Platform Optimization

Seamlessly integrate AI voiceovers, stock footage, dynamic typography, and branded elements.
Apply best practices for each platform—safe zones, text placement, pacing, compliance rules, and Meta “deadzones.”
Maintain consistent brand identity across all deliverables.

Workflow & Collaboration

Work within structured SOPs, creative pipelines, and review cycles.
Communicate clearly with internal teams to ensure projects meet performance and quality benchmarks.
Suggest process improvements to increase efficiency and elevate creative quality.

Requirements

Mandatory: Proven, specialized experience editing ecommerce ads (VSLs, UGC, Talking-Head).
Mandatory: A strong, relevant portfolio demonstrating direct-response editing.
Advanced proficiency with Adobe Premiere Pro (or equivalent).
Strong understanding of performance marketing, creative psychology, and retention-first editing.
Ability to meet deadlines, manage multiple edits simultaneously, and maintain high standards under fast turnaround times.
Excellent communication skills and comfort working in a collaborative, feedback-driven environment.
Familiarity with ClickUp or similar project management tools is a plus.
Full-time availability (40 hours/week), with potential flexibility after proving reliability and independence.

What Success Looks Like

Videos that consistently hit retention, CTR, and conversion benchmarks
Clean, persuasive edits driven by performance insights
Smooth communication, predictable output, and minimal revision cycles
A strong sense of creative ownership and continuous improvement
