📋 Description

• Editing UGC-style and direct-response video ads from raw footage – fast edits [minimum 1.5sec-2 seconds frame changes on visuals], aggressive visuals, clean cuts when needed, strong pacing, and hooks that don't lose the viewer in the first three seconds • Applying motion graphics, captions, text overlays, sound design, and music to produce platform-ready content across Meta and TikTok • Working from creative briefs and script references you follow the direction but you also bring your eye to it • Producing multiple versions of the same concept (hook tests, CTA variations, format cuts) efficiently • Receiving and interpreting briefs from creative strategists - asking smart questions upfront rather than going back and forth after the first cut • Submitting first cuts on time and responding to revision notes quickly and accurately • Staying current on UGC trends, editing styles, and platform-native formats and flagging when you see something worth testing • Keeping your project files, exports, and asset folders organized according to team SOPs • Supporting the team in repurposing high-performing content into new formats when needed

🎯 Requirements

• A strong portfolio of edited video ads - UGC, direct-response, or DTC brand content; we want to see cuts that are designed to perform, not just look good • Proficiency in Premiere Pro and/or CapCut - you can work fast in whichever tool the project calls for • Strong sense of pacing - you know when a cut is too slow, when a hook is burying itself, and when to trim • Understanding of how paid social video works: hook structure, attention retention, CTA placement, and format differences between Meta and TikTok • Reliable output - you can handle multiple concurrent edits and hit deadlines consistently • Receptive to feedback, revision rounds are part of the job; taking notes personally isn't • Strong Advantages • Experience editing DTC, beauty, wellness, or lifestyle brand content • Motion graphics skills , text animations, transitions, lower thirds that go beyond basic templates • Experience with AI-assisted editing tools that improve turnaround without sacrificing quality • Understanding of what makes a winning ad not just technically clean editing, but structurally effective storytelling • Familiarity with the UGC content model and how to make creator footage feel polished without losing authenticity • Instant No's • Your portfolio is full of cinematic, long-form, or brand film content with no paid social or direct-response work we're not doing that here • You need heavy direction on every edit • You treat revision notes as optional suggestions - revisions exist to make the content perform better, and accuracy matters • You can't sustain output at volume - this is a high-output environment and pace is part of the job

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive monthly rate (contractor) based on experience and portfolio quality • Clear growth path: Graphic Designer → Senior Graphic Designer • Fully remote - no fixed location, flexible setup • Learning & development budget • Access to winning ad references and a structured feedback system that actually makes you better • Exposure to high-volume, multi-market DTC creative production at real scale • Weekly performance reviews with the Creative Director • 📌 We produce a lot of content and we move fast. If you thrive in a structured creative environment where your work gets tested against real numbers and you want to get genuinely better at your craft this is a strong place to be.
