[Hiring] Senior AI Video Editor @Sterry

Role Description

We are hiring a Senior AI Video Editor to own AI-accelerated video production for performance and brand: short-form ads, listing/lifestyle cuts, UGC polish, and disciplined creative testing. We care more about tighter, higher-converting cuts than raw volume.

Due to the nature of the brand (women's intimates), we seek someone with visual taste and real empathy for the modern consumer — fit, comfort, body-positive storytelling, and the aesthetic precision required to build authentic brand trust on camera.

You will own end-to-end video editing and AI-assisted production for STERRY’s global growth engine. You will turn briefs, raw footage, UGC, product shoots, and motion assets into high-converting ads and marketplace video — then systematically test hooks, cuts, and formats so winning creative scales across channels.

This is an edit-only seat: you will not be required to shoot or direct talent. You will be both a craft editor and an AI power user — obsessive about timing, typography, color, and brand consistency, and relentless about using AI to multiply quality output without lowering the bar.

You will report to STERRY’s marketing / creative leadership (Head of Marketing or Creative Lead).

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional video editing, with 2+ years in performance creative, e-commerce, or social ads (DTC or marketplaces).
• Hands-on, current experience with modern AI video/image/audio tools and automated edit workflows — not “curious,” but shipping with them weekly.
• Expert in at least one professional NLE (Premiere Pro, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve, or CapCut/Jianying at a professional standard), plus motion typography, color, sound design, and captioning.
• Portfolio of shipped ads or social/video work with clear before/after or performance context (hook tests, CTR/thumb-stop, iterative versions).
• Obsessive attention to detail: frame-accurate cuts, clean audio, typo-free on-screen text, consistent brand kits, and zero broken exports or wrong aspect ratios.
• Fluent English (Mandatory): Full professional proficiency in spoken and written English to join Shenzhen-hours standups, take global briefs, mark up versions, and work with a distributed marketing team.
• Comfort editing women's fashion, beauty, or intimates/body-close product content with taste and respect.
• Ability to work full-time as a contractor, with reliable internet, your own edit setup, and consistent overlap with Shenzhen (UTC+8).

Requirements

• Based in the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, or a closely aligned time zone.
• Direct experience supporting Amazon, Shopify DTC, and TikTok Shop creative in the same org.
• Motion design (After Effects / equivalent).
• Experience building SOPs, templates, and AI prompt libraries other editors can run.

Benefits

• $2,000-3,000 USD per month + performance bonus, as a full-time contractor.
• Direct partnership with marketing / creative leadership, and a clear path to Creative Lead for the right operator.
• Opportunity to define STERRY’s AI video production system, with global creative scope, from a remote SEA base.
