We're hiring a performance-driven UGC Video Editor who understands one thing clearly: ads are meant to convert—not just look good.

This is not a general video editing role.

You'll be focused on creating high-performing, test-ready paid social creatives for fast-scaling DTC and e-commerce brands.

What You'll Do

You'll take existing footage, raw UGC, and creative briefs and turn them into scroll-stopping ads built for performance testing and conversion.

Your day-to-day will include:

Editing hook-first short-form video ads (Meta, TikTok, YouTube Shorts)
Improving pacing, retention, and clarity
Producing multiple variations of winning creatives
Adapting content across different formats and placements
Supporting a consistent pipeline of fresh, testable ads
Applying direct-response principles to every edit

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who understands performance creative—not just editing.

Must-have:

5+ years of video editing experience (DTC, e-commerce, or direct-response ads)
Strong experience editing UGC-style paid social ads
Deep understanding of:
Hooks (first 3 seconds win or lose)
Retention & pacing
Conversion-focused storytelling
Proven track record of creating high-performing ad variations
Proficiency in:
Adobe Premiere Pro
After Effects
CapCut
DaVinci Resolve

Nice-to-have:

Experience with AI-assisted editing workflows
Familiarity with performance metrics (CTR, CPA, ROAS)

Role Details:

Fully Remote
Working hours: Canada Pacific Time (PST)

Who this Role is Perfect For:

Editors who've worked with DTC brands or performance marketing teams
Creatives who think like media buyers
Editors who enjoy testing, iterating, and optimizing ads—not just polishing videos
