[Hiring] AI Performance Video Editor @RYZE

Role Description

We’re looking for a performance-minded AI Video Editor to help power RYZE’s paid social advertising engine on Meta. This is a highly executional, fast-paced role at the intersection of performance marketing, video editing, and generative AI.

• Edit raw footage into high-quality, conversion-focused social ads for Meta.
• Transform scripts, concepts, storyboards, and creative briefs into compelling short-form ads.
• Use generative AI to create and enhance video, images, animations, product visuals, backgrounds, transitions, b-roll, and other creative assets.
• Explore and actively use AI video and creative tools such as Higgsfield, Kling, OpenArt, and emerging platforms to develop new advertising concepts.
• Create multiple creative variations quickly - including different hooks, openings, visual concepts, pacing, CTAs, and messaging.
• Add captions, sound design, music, transitions, effects, b-roll, and motion graphics to maximize engagement and clarity.
• Develop strong first 1-3 second hooks designed to stop the scroll.
• Maintain strong pacing, flow, timing, and visual hierarchy optimized for paid social performance.
• Write and apply clear, accurate, compelling English captions and on-screen messaging.
• Use Adobe Premiere Pro as the primary editing tool, with After Effects and Photoshop as needed.
• Manage multiple ads and creative iterations simultaneously while maintaining speed and quality.
• Incorporate creative feedback quickly and efficiently.
• Review basic performance metrics such as thumb-stop rate, hold rate, CTR, and conversion performance to inform future creative iterations.
• Turn performance insights into new creative tests and variations.
• Stay ahead of emerging AI video, animation, and creative-generation technologies and identify tools that can improve RYZE’s creative output.

Qualifications

• 2+ years of hands-on video editing experience, ideally in performance marketing, paid social, DTC, or e-commerce.
• Proven experience creating short-form paid social ads for platforms such as Meta.
• A strong portfolio demonstrating performance-driven creative and AI animation - not just polished brand videos.
• Strong proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro; working knowledge of After Effects and Photoshop.
• Experience with tools such as Higgsfield, Kling, OpenArt, Veo3, or similar AI creative platforms.
• A strong understanding of how to use AI-generated content in service of advertising performance, rather than simply creating visually impressive AI videos.
• Strong understanding of hooks, pacing, retention, storytelling, captions, sound design, and direct-response creative.

Benefits

• This isn’t just an editing role, it’s an opportunity to become a stronger performance creative, understand what makes ads convert at scale, and grow within a fast-moving creative team.
• Learn directly from performance data - see which ads are winning, understand why they’re working, and use those insights to improve your own creative decisions.
• Learn from top-performing creatives - join weekly creative and learning sessions where we break down winning ads, consumer psychology, performance marketing principles, trends, and new creative approaches.
• Work with the latest AI creative tools - get access to leading AI video, image, voice, and generation platforms and learn how to integrate them into real-world performance creative.
• Continuous learning & development - gain access to courses, internal resources, tutorials, workflows, and ongoing experimentation with new tools and techniques.
• Performance-based bonuses - strong-performing creatives can earn additional bonuses when their ads reach key performance milestones.
• Grow beyond the editor role - as RYZE’s creative team continues to expand, there are opportunities for strong performers to step into leadership, management, training, reviewing, and specialized creative roles.
• High creative ownership - contribute ideas, experiment with new formats and approaches, and help shape how RYZE approaches performance creative.
