Job Title: High-Volume Video Editor for E-commerce Brands
Job Summary:
We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced video editor to join our team. As a High-Volume Video Editor, you will be responsible for producing high-quality video content for e-commerce brands at scale.
Key Responsibilities:
* Transform raw footage into engaging short-form ads (15-90 seconds) and VSLs that convert cold traffic into buyers.
* Craft hooks that stop thumbs in the first 3 seconds using pattern interrupts, bold claims, and visual glitches.
* Deploy engagement disruptors such as kinetic typography, callout graphics, progress bars, and emoji reactions.
* Optimize pacing for platform algorithms (Meta 9:16, YouTube Shorts).
* A/B test visual approaches based on performance data.
* Post-produce color grading, sound design, motion graphics, and seamless transitions using Premiere Pro, After Effects, or DaVinci Resolve.
* Rapidly iterate and test new concepts weekly with our Creative Strategist.
* Leverage tools like Descript, Runway, and AI caption generators to maximize output without sacrificing quality.
Requirements:
* Strong level of fluent English fluency (hard requirement).
* 2+ years editing for DTC/eCommerce brands (beauty, health, or supplements ideal).
* Portfolio demonstrating direct response ads that drove conversions.
* Expert-level proficiency in Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve + After Effects.
* Deep understanding of Meta/YouTube Shorts specs and algorithm-friendly editing patterns.
* Native fluency with UGC aesthetics (raw, authentic, relatable) vs. polished brand content.
* Proven ability to produce 8-12 ads per week without compromising quality.
* Ability to think critically and recommend new approaches, ad formats, and tools (outside the box).
Bonus Points:
* Experience editing short-form VSLs (2-3+ minutes) or long-form VSLs (25+ minutes).
* Motion design skills (After Effects, Cinema 4D).
* Understanding of direct response copywriting principles.
* Familiarity with CapCut, Descript, or AI editing tools.
Why You'll Love This Role:
* Transparent compensation tied to ad performance metrics.
* Career growth path: Senior Editor → Lead Editor → Creative Director as we scale.
* Direct access to campaign metrics. You'll know exactly which of your ads are crushing it (and which aren't).
What We Value:
* Fast turnaround times (24-48 hour revisions).
* Self-directed work ethic in a remote environment.
* Obsessive attention to detail.
* Ego-free collaboration and receptiveness to feedback.
