The work

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced AI Video Editor who combines strong fundamentals in post-production with cutting-edge AI generation to build high-converting marketing creatives and social video ads.

This role is centered on craft-first editing and fearless experimentation with generative AI tools. You will push the boundaries of modern ad formats—from hyper-realistic UGC and stylized 3D/animation to claymation and Suno-powered tracks—while keeping tight control over pacing, hook retention, and marketing psychology that drives clicks and conversions.

The work

What You Will Do

• Edit High-Impact Social Video Ads: Craft fast-paced, scroll-stopping ad creatives built for DTC and e-commerce campaigns across paid channels.
• Experiment Across AI Video Formats: Produce diverse visual styles utilizing cutting-edge AI pipelines, including realistic UGC, 3D character animation, claymation, and musical ad formats.
• Visual Marketing & Problem-Solving: Translate scripts into striking visual hooks within the first 1–3 seconds, visually demonstrating customer pain points and product payoffs rather than relying solely on voiceover.
• High-Volume Creative Output: Sustain an active production workflow delivering approximately 20–25 minutes of finished ad creative per week (e.g., 40–50 short-form 30s ads, 20–25 60s ads, or iterative creative variations).
• Iterate on Performance Data: Analyze retention curves, click-through rates (CTR), and conversion cues to quickly edit, test, and deliver new hook and angle variations.

Who they want

What We Are Looking For

• Editor: A solid foundation in traditional post-production prior to using AI tools. Complete fluency in Adobe Premiere Pro, CapCut pacing, audio mixing, visual rhythm, and clean assembly.
• AI Tool Experimentation & Fluency: Hands-on experience with modern generative video platforms, specifically Higgsfield, alongside a broad generative toolkit (Runway, Kling, Midjourney, Suno, etc.).
• Performance Marketing Mindset: Strong grasp of direct-response ad structures, customer psychology, retention-driving cuts, and clear calls-to-action.
• Format Versatility: Proven ability to jump between wildly different visual treatments (realistic, animated, narrative, or hybrid) without losing quality.
• Reliable Delivery Pace: Ability to handle high-velocity ad pipelines while keeping visual, color, and audio standards consistently sharp
