Job Description

We are seeking a highly creative Performance Video Editor to help us produce high-converting video advertisements that drive customer acquisition across Meta and other paid social channels.

As we continue to grow our ecommerce brand globally, we're looking for someone who can become our primary video editing resource, transforming raw footage, UGC, creator content, and existing brand assets into compelling direct-response advertisements. You'll work closely with our marketing team to bring campaign ideas to life while continuously producing creative assets that improve advertising performance.

This role is responsible for editing paid social advertisements, developing multiple creative variations for testing, repurposing existing content into fresh marketing assets, and applying performance marketing principles to every piece of creative produced. While creative direction will initially come from our team, we're looking for someone who understands what makes advertising creative successful and can contribute ideas that improve execution over time.

This is not a traditional video editing role focused solely on creating visually appealing content. Success requires someone who understands direct-response marketing, consumer attention, retention, and performance creative. We're looking for someone who enjoys creating ads that generate measurable business results, not just beautiful edits.
