Video Editor

About us:

We're a US-based performance marketing company. We run paid advertising across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, and native platforms to connect Americans struggling with credit card debt to companies that can help them. We spend real money on ads every single day, which means the creative we produce directly drives the business.

We're not looking for someone to make pretty videos. We're looking for someone who understands that a video's job is to stop a scroll, hold attention for 30 seconds, and make someone pick up the phone.

What you'll do:

Edit 15-20 short-form direct-response ads per week for Facebook, Instagram Reels, TikTok, and Snapchat

Cut fast-paced, hook-driven creative: strong first 3 seconds, hard cuts, zooms, pattern interrupts, no dead air

Build UGC-style ads, testimonial edits, text-on-screen ads, and longer-form video sales letters

Add captions, sound design, b-roll, stock footage, motion graphics, and on-screen text overlays

Produce multiple variations of winning ads - new hooks, new intros, new angles - so we can test at volume

Take direct feedback and turn around revisions quickly

What we need from you:

2+ years editing short-form video, ideally for ads, social content, or a marketing agency

You can cut fast. Turnaround matters more here than perfection - a good ad shipped today beats a great ad shipped next week

Excellent eye for pacing, rhythm, and timing to music

Fluent written and spoken English - you'll be editing English-language ads for a US audience and need to understand the script, the tone, and the emotion

Reliable internet and generator or backup power - this is a daily-output role

Available to overlap with US Eastern Time hours for feedback and calls

Comfortable working independently with a task list, not waiting to be managed

Bonus points:

You've edited direct-response or performance ads before and understand hooks, CTAs, and testing

You know your way around AI tools - ElevenLabs, Higgsfield, etc...

Familiarity with Meta's advertising policies and what does and doesn't get flagged

Basic motion graphics and animated text presets you've built yourself

Compensation:

$1200 USD/month base, plus 5% of profits.

The profit share is the important part. Most editing jobs pay you the same whether your work performs or not. Here, when an ad you cut starts winning and we scale spend behind it, you get paid more. Your upside is directly tied to the quality of your creative - and we'll show you the numbers so you can see exactly what's working.

You'll get full performance data on your edits: which hooks held attention, which ads drove calls, which ones we killed. Very few editing roles give you that feedback loop.

Why this role is good:

Full-time, stable, paid in USD every month

Real ownership - your creative directly moves the revenue number

Long-term position with room to grow into a lead creative role as we scale

We're building an in-house content operation, not hiring one-off gigs

How to apply:

Send the following to our email at [email protected] or apply here.

Your reel or portfolio - link to Google Drive, Vimeo, YouTube, or Instagram. We care most about short-form ads and social content, not weddings or corporate videos.

One paragraph on the fastest turnaround you've handled and what your typical weekly output looks like.

Your setup - computer specs, internet speed, and whether you have backup power.

When you could start.

Shortlisted candidates will be paid for a test edit. We'll send you raw footage and a script, and you'll have 72 hours to deliver. We hire based on that edit.
