VIDEO EDITOR (PAID MEDIA)
at IncubatorLab ||| Remote - Worldwide except for Lahore, Pakistan (hybrid)
Incubator Lab is looking for a talented Video Editor to join our thriving team!
Role Objective:
As a Video Editor at IncubatorLab.ai, you will edit short-form paid social ads designed to drive performance across platforms such as Meta, TikTok, and YouTube. This role is ideal for editors who understand performance-first creative, work quickly, and iterate effectively based on feedback and results.
What You’ll Do:
- Edit short-form paid social video ads
- Iterate on creative based on performance insights
- Apply best practices around hooks, pacing, clarity, and CTAs
- Collaborate asynchronously with Creative Strategists and Growth teams
- Maintain quality and consistency across high-volume output
Requirements we are looking for:
- 2+ years experience specializing strictly in direct-to-consumer (D2C) and e-commerce video editing.
- Must present a portfolio showcasing high-performing paid social ad creatives and conversion-focused assets explicitly built for e-commerce brands.
- Proven track record editing for health, wellness, and supplement brands.
- Deeply proficient with generative AI video suites, specifically demonstrating portfolio work that features AI animations, advanced asset generation, and highly engaging talking-head enhancements.
- Strong proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and Media Encoder
- Working knowledge of After Effects
- Strong fundamentals in pacing, color correction, audio mixing, and music selection
- Strong English communication skills
- Comfort working remotely in a fast-paced environment
Working Hours: Async-First We are a global, remote team. We don’t care when you do the work, provided deadlines are met and the quality is top-tier. We do ask for a few hours of overlap with US-based EST working hours each day to facilitate team meetings and Slack communication. This ensures we stay agile and can iterate on winning ads in real-time.
HOW TO APPLY
We value high-retention storytelling over cinematic flair. To be considered, please submit a link to your portfolio or reel specifically highlighting your work with DTC (Direct-to-Consumer), UGC-style, or Direct Response video ads.
We are particularly interested in seeing:
- The First 3 Seconds: Examples of aggressive, scroll-stopping hooks that immediately grab attention.
- UGC Integration: Proof that you can take raw, "low-fi" phone footage and edit it into a high-converting, native-feeling social ad.
- Pacing & Retention: Ads that demonstrate a mastery of "pattern interrupts"-using captions, zooms, and sound design to keep viewers engaged until the CTA.
- Iteration Ability: If possible, show us two versions of the same ad where you tested different hooks or visual styles.
Note: We are specifically looking for a "Performance Creative" reel-please do not send long-form documentaries, wedding films, or cinematic shorts. We want to see fast-paced, high-retention, short-form ads that drive conversions.
Bonus points if you include a link to a TikTok or Reel you’ve edited that went viral.
