Job Description:

We are seeking a Senior Paid Social Video Editor to join a creative-first growth partner working with leading DTC brands across the US, Canada, and Europe. This role is strictly execution-focused and centered on producing high-performing paid social video ads that meet a clearly defined quality bar.

You will work from approved concepts, scripts, and creative briefs provided by Creative Strategists and Copywriters. Your responsibility is to execute at a high creative and technical level, delivering performance-ready ads that match or exceed provided reference examples.

Key Responsibilities:

Video Editing & Production (Primary Focus)

• Edit paid social video ads for platforms including Meta and TikTok
• Transform raw footage, UGC, AI-generated assets, and supplied materials into polished, conversion-focused ads
• Execute edits with strong pacing, visual hierarchy, and storytelling aligned to performance marketing best practices
• Add motion graphics, captions, subtitles, hooks, and overlays where appropriate
• Ensure all deliverables meet platform specs and internal quality standards
• Maintain premium visual quality, no low-effort or “dropshipping-style” edits

AI-First Creative Execution (Baseline Requirement)

• Generate and integrate AI video, image, voice-over, and music assets using tools such as Higgsfield, Nanobanana, ElevenLabs, Suno.ai, and similar platforms
• Use AI intentionally to enhance creative output, not as a shortcut for low-quality production
• Continuously improve AI workflows to increase efficiency, iteration speed, and creative range

Execution Within Creative Direction

• Execute strictly within approved briefs, concepts, and reference examples
• Ask clarifying questions when inputs are unclear to avoid rework
• Apply initiative to elevate edits while staying aligned with brand and strategy
• Adapt visual style per brand (e.g., premium, minimal, bold, playful)

Creative Collaboration

• Collaborate closely with Creative Strategists and Copywriters during production cycles
• Review scripts, storyboards, and shot lists and flag execution considerations early
• Share relevant creative trends, AI techniques, and production improvements
• Contribute to improving internal video workflows and standards

Qualifications:

• 2+ years of hands-on experience editing paid social video ads
• Ability to produce work equal to or better than the following reference quality: https://app.air.inc/a/crQiK85HS
• Strong, practical experience using AI tools in video/image/audio production workflows
• Proven portfolio of Meta and TikTok ads, ideally with ad spend or performance context (USD)
• Advanced proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro
• Solid understanding of pacing, hooks, retention, and performance-driven editing
• Ability to follow briefs precisely while thinking independently
• Experience handling multiple projects with consistent on-time delivery
• Fluent written and spoken English

Nice-to-Have

• Experience with After Effects / motion graphics
• Background working with DTC e-commerce brands
• Familiarity with creative testing frameworks and iterative ad production
• Ability to explain why past ads performed well (creative reasoning, not strategy ownership)

Benefits:

• Fully remote role
• Generous PTO and holiday allowance
• Collaborative, high-performance creative environment
• Access to training, paid courses, and conferences
• Annual international team retreats
• Clear growth path with regular reviews and bonus opportunities
