Job Description:

We are seeking a Paid Social Video Editor to support high-volume, performance-driven video ad production for a fast-growing DTC subscription e-commerce brand in the pet food space. This role is focused on producing and iterating paid social video creatives—primarily for Meta—within sprint-based workflows to support new customer acquisition and creative scaling

This role is focused on producing and iterating paid social video creatives—primarily for Meta—within sprint-based workflows to support new customer acquisition. We are scaling our output from 200 to 500+ ads per month (aiming for 1,000 in Q2). You will work directly with our Creative Strategists to execute high-performing concepts using speed-focused tools like Veed.io

Key Responsibilities

• Produce high-volume paid social video ads (50-100 variations per sprint) optimized for Meta platforms.
• Execute creative briefs and remix existing footage (UGC, shoots) into multiple concepts.
• Prioritize Speed & Volume: Utilize Veed.io (preferred) for rapid iteration and cloud-based collaboration.
• Create multiple video variations (hooks, pacing, text overlays) for structured testing
• Apply hook-driven editing (first 1-3 seconds) to maximize retention and scroll-stopping impact.
• Implement feedback accurately and efficiently to minimize iteration loops ("One-shot" efficiency).
• Collaborate directly with Creative Strategists to suggest new hook ideas and visual angles
• Maintain compliance with aspect ratios and safe-zone requirements (9:16, 1:1, 4:5).
• Organize assets using clear file naming and version control in our cloud library.

Formats & Skills.

• Short-form paid social video editing (Meta-first—Organic/Vlog style is not sufficient)
• Proficiency in Veed.io (Cloud/AI editing) for speed
• Hook-driven editing (first 1-3 seconds)
• Retention- and conversion-focused editing.
• Creative iteration and variant testing.
• Captioning and sound-off optimization.
• Aspect ratio and safe-zone compliance (9:16, 1:1,4:5).
• Feedback implementation and rapid iteration.
• Asset organization, file naming, and version control.

Qualifications:

• Non-Negotiable: Proven experience editing Paid Social Video Ads (Direct Response), with a strong focus on Meta platforms.
• Background in DTC, subscription e-commerce, or performance marketing preferred
• Note: Experience limited to organic social content or YouTube vlogs is not a fit for this role.
• Experience using Veed.io is highly preferred for our rapid iteration workflow (alongside Adobe Premiere Pro/After Effects for complex tasks).
• High-output mindset: Comfortable shipping 20+ variations of a concept in a sprint without sacrificing quality.
• Understanding of "Cat Behavior" or pet ownership is a strong plus (helps in selecting the right footage).
• Comfortable working in a remote, trust-based environment without micromanagement.
• Detail-oriented and precise in following briefs, assets, and feedback.
• Able to overlap with London working hours for collaboration.
