UGC Video Ads Editor

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.

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

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
