[Hiring] Direct Response Video Editor @AI Acquisition

Role Description

You'll edit performance ads for our Meta campaigns. High volume, fast turnaround, results-driven.

• This is not a YouTube editing role.
• This is not a cinematic filmmaking role.
• This is a direct-response advertising role.
• Success is measured by speed, output, testing velocity, and whether the ads work.
• If you need two weeks to edit one ad, this isn't your role.
• If you can ship multiple variations in a day and iterate based on data, keep reading.

• Founder-style spokesperson ads
• UGC ads
• Testimonial ads
• VSLs
• Webinar promos
• Talking-head ads

What you'll actually do:

• Edit high-volume Meta ads daily
• Build multiple hook variations from existing footage
• Repurpose VSLs into short-form ads
• Produce UGC-style variations fast
• Add captions, graphics, and visual callouts that strengthen the message
• Use AI tools to produce faster without losing quality
• Collaborate with copywriters — take a brief and execute it cleanly
• Iterate based on performance data, not personal taste
• Keep project files organised and meet daily and weekly deadlines

• Strong English comprehension
• Premiere Pro, CapCut, After Effects, Higgsfield or equivalent
• Fast, reliable internet

• AI animation experience
• AI workflow knowledge
• Ability to read and respond to performance metrics

Benefits

• $120K – $180K total comp
• Base + performance bonus, geography-adjusted
• Strong senior-level compensation, geography-adjusted
• Fully remote
• High-volume testing environment with real spend behind your work
• Direct access to operators, offers, performance feedback, and customer data
• Massive upside if you become truly irreplaceable
