[Hiring] Senior Video Editor & Ad Designer @Assist World

Role Description

Are you a senior video editor who understands that great advertising is about more than making content look good? Do you know how to build a strong hook, maintain viewer retention, and turn raw footage into creative that drives conversions? We are looking for a Senior Video Editor & Ad Designer with strong experience in Direct Response, DTC, and Performance Marketing.

This is not a traditional video editing role. You will be responsible for creating, analysing, and continuously improving high-performing advertising creative.

  • Create ads that feel native to the platform while maintaining a high standard of production quality.
• Build Strong Hooks and Retention
  • Strong visual and audio hooks

  • Product cutouts and screen replacements
  • Strategic visual effects

Qualifications

• 5–10+ years of professional video editing or creative experience.
• Strong experience in Direct Response, DTC, e-commerce, paid social, or performance marketing.
• Agency or DTC experience is highly preferred.

Requirements

• Direct-Response Expertise
  • Understanding of consumer psychology, hooks, pattern interrupts, retention, creative angles, calls to action, and conversion-focused storytelling.
  • Understanding of why an advertisement works, not simply how to make it look good.
