Who We Are
GrowthAssistant connects top marketing and operations talent with fast-growing companies that depend on great execution to scale. Founded in 2021 and named by Forbes as one of the best startups to work at, we're a permanently remote team that runs on integrity, proactive candor, and a bias toward action — and we prioritize the human experience in everything we do. We hire for skill and for heart, and we invest in our people for the long haul.
The Opportunity
We're hiring an Ad Creative Video Specialist to join a fast-paced performance marketing agency producing conversion-focused video ads for e-commerce and DTC brands across TikTok, Meta, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts — someone who operates as a creative thinker, not just an executor, bringing independent judgment and direct response instincts to every edit. You'll work from light briefs, turn raw B-roll or loose concepts into multiple high-performing ad variations, apply scroll-stopping hook structures and retention-focused pacing without heavy direction, and leverage AI creative tools to accelerate output — all while managing a high-volume editing queue, meeting strict launch deadlines, and iterating continuously based on ad performance data.
What Your Day-to-Day Will Look Like
- Performance Ad Editing: Edit UGC-style video ads and short-form content for paid performance channels (TikTok, Meta, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts), applying direct response fundamentals to every edit — scroll-stopping hooks, strong narrative arcs, clear CTAs, and retention-focused pacing throughout
- Creative Brief Execution: Take light briefs — raw creator B-roll, a script, or a general concept — and brainstorm creative approaches to build multiple ad variations for rapid testing; make independent footage and creative calls including clip selection, transitions, and text overlays without heavy direction
- Queue & Deadline Management: Review weekly asset sheets, manage your editing queue proactively, and meet strict weekly launch deadlines while consistently maintaining high-volume output and first-draft quality standards
- AI Tool Integration: Leverage AI creative tools (ElevenLabs, Arcads, Veo3, Nano Banana, Adobe Firefly) to accelerate production timelines and expand ad variation output across client deliverables
- Performance-Informed Iteration: Interpret ad performance data to identify what's working creatively and continuously adjust future edits — treating performance results as a feedback loop for creative improvement
- QA & Proactive Communication: Run pre-submission QA on all deliverables; proactively flag capacity constraints, delays, or tech issues in real time — well before launch day, not after
What You Bring
- Performance Editing Experience: 2–3+ years of professional video editing experience specifically for performance video ads, DTC brands, or agencies — with a strong portfolio of paid ad work demonstrating deep fluency with hook structure, narrative arc, and CTA design
- Tool Proficiency: Expert-level command of Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, CapCut, Photoshop, and Illustrator, or equivalent professional editing software
- Creative Autonomy: Strong independent judgment and self-sufficiency — able to make confident, high-quality creative calls on light briefs without requiring step-by-step direction or heavy oversight
- Proactive Communication: Strong written communication skills with a habit of sending daily updates, flagging issues early, and proactively negotiating timelines when capacity or blockers arise
Bonus Points if:
- You're familiar with interpreting ad analytics (CTR, hook rate, retention curves) and using performance data to inform creative iteration
- You have an agency background with a multi-brand portfolio and the ability to context-switch comfortably across clients
- You have formal direct response training or have graduated from a performance editing accelerator program
