Senior Video Editor (Paid Social / Meta Ads – Performance Focused)

Location: Remote
Schedule: Part-Time (Up to 20 hours/week) | US/EU overlap preferred
Compensation: (part-time, based on experience)

About the Company

We are a fast-growing DTC brand operating at scale within paid social, where creative output is the primary driver of growth.

Our marketing strategy is built on high-volume, rapid iteration of short-form video ads across Meta (Facebook/Instagram), leveraging UGC and direct-response creative to drive customer acquisition.

The Opportunity

This role is not about cinematic editing or brand storytelling.

We are looking for a performance-driven video editor who has experience producing large volumes of direct-response ads — specifically for Meta.

You will be responsible for taking raw footage (UGC, product content, etc.) and turning it into high-converting, short-form ad creatives quickly and consistently.

The ideal candidate has worked in environments where:

Speed matters more than perfection
Volume and iteration are critical
Creative decisions are driven by performance, not opinion

As the client put it, they want someone who has effectively “cranked out thousands of Facebook ads” and understands what works.

What You’ll Own

1. High-Volume Ad Production

Edit short-form, vertical video ads for Meta (Facebook & Instagram)
Turn raw UGC and internal footage into ad-ready creatives
Produce multiple variations per concept (hooks, angles, pacing)
Maintain fast turnaround times across a high volume of assets

2. Hook-First Editing

Optimize the first 1–3 seconds of every video (critical for performance)
Build scroll-stopping intros designed to capture attention immediately
Continuously test different hooks and opening structures

3. Chop Funnel Creative Execution

Focus on “chop funnel” style ads (high-volume, direct-response creative)
Avoid overly polished or brand-heavy editing styles
Prioritize speed, clarity, and conversion over aesthetics

(Think: Quince, Aura Ring, Ketone IQ-style ad formats)

4. Creative Iteration & Testing

Rapidly create variations of winning creatives
Iterate based on feedback from internal teams
Support ongoing creative testing initiatives

5. Asset Handling & Workflow

Manage and organize large volumes of creative inputs
Work efficiently with minimal direction or incomplete briefs
Deliver consistent output without bottlenecks

What We’re Looking For

Must-Have Experience

3–5+ years of video editing experience
Strong experience editing paid social ads (Meta-focused)
Proven history of producing high volumes of ad creatives
Experience working with UGC-style content

Performance Mindset

Understands that the goal is conversion, not aesthetics
Familiar with direct-response creative structures
Comfortable working in fast-paced, test-and-learn environments

Technical Skills

Advanced proficiency in:
- Adobe Premiere Pro (required)
- After Effects (nice to have)
- CapCut or similar tools (strong plus for speed)
Strong pacing, cutting, and attention-grabbing editing style

Work Style

Fast, efficient, and output-oriented
Comfortable producing multiple assets per day
Able to work with minimal guidance
Not overly perfectionist — prioritizes iteration speed

Nice to Have

Experience working with DTC brands at scale
Familiarity with Meta Ad Library and competitor research
Exposure to TikTok-style or native-feeling ad formats

What Success Looks Like

Consistent delivery of high-volume ad creatives
Strong hook performance and engagement in early seconds
Ability to quickly iterate and adapt to feedback
Becoming a reliable operator for ongoing creative production

Key Role Context

This is a part-time role (max ~20 hours/week)
The company already has thousands of ads and creative inputs available
You will be plugged into an existing content workflow and expected to execute immediately
This is a production-heavy role, not a strategy or leadership role
