Video Editor — DTC Ecommerce VSLs & Direct Response Social Ads (Long-Term)
We run a portfolio of fast-growing DTC brands in skincare, health, and beauty. We're hiring a video editor who actually understands direct response — not someone who makes pretty videos, but someone who knows why a hook works, why people keep watching past second 3, and why one edit converts and another doesn't.
This is a long-term role with real growth potential. If you're the right person, this turns into a Head of Production / Lead Editor seat as our brands scale.
What you'll be editing:
Direct response video ads for Facebook and Instagram (short and long form)
vsl-style creatives, typically 2–5+ minutes
ugc-style testimonial edits
ai talking-head videos and product explainers
before/after transformation creatives
hook variations and creative tests
repurposed winners turned into new angles and formats
how we work (important — read this)
our workflow is built around speed and ai. For most ads, we send you a brief and a script. You then generate the clips yourself using tools like Kling, Higgsfield, Veo, Nano Banana, HeyGen, and ElevenLabs — we cover the credits. From there you assemble the main track, generate b-roll and overlays, add sound design, and deliver.
This means we need someone who:
Is fluent with AI video/image/voice tools, not just experimenting
Can move fast — a typical 60-second ad should come together in hours, not days
Doesn't need us to hand over polished footage to make a polished ad
Treats prompt iteration as part of editing, not a separate skill
Communicates clearly and proactively in English
If you're slow with AI tools, expect us to provide all the raw footage, or go silent for days at a time, this role isn't for you.
What good looks like
Strong opening hooks that stop the scroll
Pacing, music, text overlays, b-roll, sound design that holds attention
Native ugc feel when needed, polished vsl feel when needed
multiple variations from a winning concept
fast turnarounds with clean, organized files
strong written english and clear, proactive communication — updates without being chased, questions asked early, briefs understood the first time
improvement over time based on performance data
tools we use
adobe premiere pro, capcut, kling, higgsfield, veo, nano banana, heygen, elevenlabs, chatgpt,
frame.io. You don't need every tool, but you should be comfortable with AI generation tools and a real editing suite.
Compensation
$30 per short ad (under 90 seconds)
$70 per standard vsl (90 seconds to 3 minutes)
$100 per long vsl (3 to 5 minutes)
includes 3 hook variations (2–5 seconds each) per ad — not counted separately
we cover all ai tool credits (kling, higgsfield, elevenlabs, etc.) — You never pay for generations
Performance bonuses when ads hit roas/cpa targets
rates increase with volume and consistency
path to full-time + head of production role for the right person
long-term opportunity
we're not looking for a one-off freelancer. The right person grows into Head of Production / Lead Creative Editor across the portfolio — higher pay, more ownership, and a real seat in building the creative engine behind multiple brands.
Don't apply if:
Your experience is mainly YouTube edits, podcasts, or generic social content
You're slow with AI tools or unwilling to learn them quickly
You need every clip handed to you
Your written English isn't strong enough to fully understand a detailed brief
You go quiet for days or need to be chased for updates
Turnaround over 48 hours on a single ad is normal for you
To apply, send:
2–3 examples of DR video ads, VSLs, or UGC-style ecommerce ads you've edited
Any performance data (ROAS, CTR, CPA, hook rate) if you have it
Your editing workflow in 3–5 sentences (this also helps us gauge your English)
The AI tools you use and how often
Your typical turnaround for a 60s ad and for a 3–5 min VSL
Your time zone and typical hours of availability for communication
Confirmation you reviewed the example videos above
The word "kling" somewhere in your application so we know you read this
