Performance Video Editor (DTC / Direct-Response Meta Ads)

Employment Type: Full-time, 40 hours per week (Independent Contractor)
Location: Fully remote (LATAM/South Africa)
Reports to: Senior Creative Strategist

About the Company

We are a rapidly growing U.S.-based direct-to-consumer health and wellness brand in the animal-based, whole-food nutritional supplement space. With millions of customers and a highly recognizable brand identity, we've built our growth on a fast-moving paid-social engine — performance creative, UGC, and practitioner-backed content that we test and scale continuously.

Our marketing operates in creative "pods": small, focused production units that turn out a high volume of ad creative every week. The systems, templates, and brand standards are already in place. We're now scaling the team that keeps that creative pipeline moving.

About the Role

This role exists to keep our performance-creative pipeline running at speed. Our Partner Creative Pod produces roughly 30–40 Meta ads per week, and we need a dedicated editor to own that output — cutting, iterating, packaging, and organizing so our Senior Creative Strategist can stay focused on strategy rather than production.

This is a direct-response editing role, not a brand-film or storytelling role. Success is measured by throughput, reliability, and creative that performs in the feed. If you understand the difference between a cinematic edit and a scroll-stopping ad, and you thrive on a weekly sprint cadence, this is built for you.

Key Responsibilities

Ad Production & Editing

Edit performance-based video ads for the Partner Creative Pod
Produce ad variations, iterations, hook swaps, and cutdowns at high volume
Execute against creative direction quickly and accurately within weekly sprints

Footage & Asset Management

Ingest, organize, and manage raw footage and creative assets
Maintain clean, reliable file organization within the creative pod system
Keep the Meta ads library and related asset libraries current and orderly

Packaging & Delivery

Package completed videos for delivery and upload
Capture thumbnails, stills, and supporting assets
Handle related post-production tasks across the broader marketing department

Sprint Collaboration

Support weekly sprint priorities and production deadlines
Communicate progress proactively and flag blockers early
Assist other creative pods with editing or packaging when bandwidth allows

Required Qualifications

Proven direct-response or DTC ad editing experience (Meta / Facebook / Instagram)
Proficiency in the Adobe Suite, particularly Premiere Pro
Ability to edit at high volume and speed without dropping quality or missing deadlines
Strong organizational and file-management discipline
Strong written and verbal English communication
Reliable, committed full-time availability (40 hours per week)

Preferred Qualifications

Hands-on experience scaling ad accounts for a DTC brand
After Effects, motion graphics, captions, and dynamic text
Comfort with UGC-style editing and tools like CapCut
Familiarity with performance metrics (hook rate, thumb-stop rate, retention)
Experience in the health, wellness, or supplement vertical

Ideal Candidate Profile

You are:

Highly organized and detail-oriented, with a system for everything
Fast and reliable — you hit a weekly cadence and you don't disappear
Comfortable with volume and repetition; variations and hook swaps are the job, not a chore
Self-managing in an async remote environment; you take direction once and execute
A clear communicator who can put thoughts into words on a call and in writing
Someone who understands what makes an ad convert, not just what makes it look good

Why Join Us

You'll work directly with senior creative leadership inside a proven, fast-scaling DTC brand, with real ownership of the creative pipeline that drives our growth. The systems are built, the brand is established, and the output is high — this is a place to do a high volume of meaningful work as a full, stable part of the team.
