[Hiring] Performance Video Editor @Soar With Us

Role Description

We’re looking for an experienced performance-driven Video Editor to produce high-converting paid social ads for leading e-commerce brands. This is not a generalist editing role - you will create, iterate, and optimise short-form video ads designed specifically for Meta and TikTok performance marketing.

You’ll work inside our creative division to turn concepts, UGC, and brand assets into scroll-stopping, conversion-focused ads. The role requires a strong understanding of paid social frameworks, direct response principles, hook development, retention editing, and platform-native best practices.

Responsibilities

• Editing high-converting paid social ads for Meta & TikTok
• Creating multiple variations for testing (hooks, angles, CTAs, formats)
• Turning UGC and raw footage into structured, performance-driven ads
• Applying retention editing techniques (pattern interrupts, pacing, captions, visual hooks)
• Following platform-native best practices and short-form trends
• Collaborating with strategists to iterate based on performance data

Qualifications

• Proven experience editing paid social ads for e-commerce brands
• Strong understanding of direct response and performance marketing
• Experience creating short-form ads (9:16, 1:1, 4:5)
• Ability to edit at pace without compromising conversion quality
• Comfortable working in a fast, test-and-iterate environment

Mindset & Approach

• Extreme ownership over creative performance — you care about results, not just aesthetics.
• Performance-driven thinker who understands that creative exists to convert.
• Proactive and solution-oriented — you identify what’s not working and improve it.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, test-and-iterate environment.
• Strong attention to detail, especially in hooks, pacing, retention, and structure.
• Able to self-manage workload and hit deadlines without constant oversight.

Experience & Skills

• 2+ years editing paid social ads, ideally for e-commerce brands.
• Proven experience creating high-converting ads for Meta and TikTok.
• Strong understanding of direct response principles (hooks, angles, CTAs, UGC structuring).
• Expert in Adobe Premiere Pro; strong working knowledge of After Effects for motion graphics.
• Skilled in retention editing techniques (pattern interrupts, dynamic captions, pacing, visual overlays).
• Comfortable producing multiple creative variations for testing at scale.
• Able to interpret performance feedback and iterate based on data.
• Clear communicator with strong written and spoken English.

Benefits

• You will be part of a world-class team made up of high-performing individuals.
• You will gain deep insight into how high-growth brands scale using creative strategy and paid social.
• Extra Holiday – take your birthday off.
• Structured training and development plans.
• Monthly team incentives.
• Kudos system to stack points and spend on vouchers like Deliveroo, Just Eat, Amazon etc.
