AI Video Editor (VSL-focused)
AI Video Editor (VSL-focused)
Our client is a fast-growing DTC jewelry brand selling waterproof, everyday-wear pieces - necklaces, bracelets, rings, and earrings - direct to consumers worldwide.
About the Role
We're hiring on our client for an AI Video Editor to generate raw AI video/UGC-style content and edit it into finished, ready-to-run VSL and UGC-style ad variants. This is a pure briefing-execution role - you'll bring their Senior Creative Strategist's briefs to life, not originate your own creative concepts.
What You'll Own
Generate raw content using Higgsfield and similar AI video-generation tools, then edit it into polished, ready-to-run ad creative
Decide independently which tools within the toolset to use, the order you work through edits and angles, and pacing/structure choices within a given brief
Ship multiple high-quality ad variants per week - this is a volume-driven role, not a one-piece-at-a-time role
Execute someone else's creative direction precisely, translating a brief into finished video exactly as intended
What's Explicitly Not Part of This Role
The underlying script/angle strategy (owned by the Creative Strategist)
Review or approval of finished creative (also the Strategist's call)
Media buying, launching, or testing ads (handled by a separate media buyer)
Must-Haves
Real D2C/ecommerce ad experience - you've worked on ads that actually ran for a direct-to-consumer brand, at meaningful advertising spend, and you understand what makes an ad convert at that level. Brand recognition isn't what matters here - real experience at real spend is.
Same type of role before - ideally at a DTC brand or an agency producing ad video at volume, not a single polished piece over a long timeline
Fluency across the finishing workflow - not just AI generation, but real comfort with editing software, captions, pacing, and motion needed to turn raw AI output into a polished, ready-to-run ad
Built for volume - you can consistently ship multiple variants per week
A genuine AI-generation portfolio - real ad examples showing hands-on use of AI video-generation tools, not just a generic editing reel
Fully AI-generation workflow - 100% comfortable with an AI-first process (generate, then edit/finish); no traditional filming or production involved, and no interest in staying purely in a traditional filming/production workflow
Nice-to-Have
Hands-on Higgsfield experience - a very strong plus at this level, close to a must-have where we can find it
Comparable experience with other AI video-generation tools if not Higgsfield specifically
Freelance or in-house background both work - what matters is the caliber of the work, not the employment structure you did it under.
