Performance Video Editor | DTC E-commerce

Performance Video Editor | DTC E-commerce

Work Schedule: Full-Time (40 Hours/Week) | 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM EST

Location: Remote | LATAM & Philippines

Type: Full-Time / Long-Term Contract

About the Role

We are hiring a high-volume Performance Video Editor to join a fast-growing US Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) e-commerce brand specializing in physical products (cleaning, household, pet, and consumer goods).

You will work directly within a dedicated creative pod (alongside a Creative Strategist) to produce, iterate, and test high-converting video ads for Meta (Facebook/Instagram) and TikTok.

This role is not about traditional corporate videography, documentary filmmaking, or organic social media content. We are strictly looking for an editor who understands direct-response (DR) advertising—someone who knows how to hook a viewer in the first 3 seconds, structure visual problem-solving narratives, leverage UGC (user-generated content), and optimize edits based on campaign performance data.

What You'll Do

• Direct-Response Editing: Edit short-form video ads (15–60 seconds) using raw UGC footage, creator clips, product demos, voiceovers, and dynamic text overlays.
• Hook & Pattern Interrupts: Conceptualize and execute high-converting visual hooks, re-hooks, pacing, transitions, and clear Call-to-Actions (CTAs) that stop the scroll.
• Volume & Variation: Turn single creative concepts into multiple variations (testing different hooks, pacing, B-roll, and music) to support rapid Meta ad testing (1 completed ad concept per day / 5 ClickUp tasks per week).
• AI-Assisted Workflow: Utilize modern AI tools (Firefly, Runway, ChatGPT/Claude, etc.) to generate missing B-roll, streamline subtitle workflows, and accelerate asset organization.
• Pod Collaboration: Work asynchronously and synchronously in ClickUp with your Creative Strategist to iterate quickly on feedback and scale winning creative angles.

Key Requirements (Non-Negotiables)

• 1+ Year of DTC E-commerce Experience: Proven track record editing paid video ads for direct-to-consumer physical products.
• Direct-Response & Paid Social Expertise: Clear understanding of direct-response performance creative vs. organic social videos.
• Software Mastery: Expert-level proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro (After Effects, Photoshop, or Canva skills are a plus).
• Meta/TikTok Native: Deep understanding of current ad formats, placement ratios (9:16, 4:5), hook strategies, and native platform aesthetics.
• Timezone & Language: Fluent written/spoken English and full availability to work 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM EST from LATAM or the Philippines.
• Portfolio Required: A portfolio or drive link featuring paid social video ads (preferably showing physical product UGC/demos and clear hooks).

Technical Setup Required

• Hardware: Processor equivalent to Intel i7 (or Apple M-Series) with a minimum of 16GB RAM (32GB RAM preferred for heavy 4K/Premiere workflows).
• Internet: Stable high-speed connection (100 Mbps download minimum).

What We're Looking For

The ideal candidate is not necessarily the most senior editor in the market. We are looking for someone with strong performance instincts, creativity, and good judgment who can understand a product, identify what will grab attention, and turn that insight into effective advertising creative.

Hiring Process

1. Initial Screening Call (15–20 mins)
2. BRYQ Skills & Logic Assessment
3. Paid Trial Project (Evaluates editing speed, hook choices, and performance instincts)
4. Hiring Manager Interview
5. Final Offer
