Job Description

Direct Response Video Editor (AI-First) SLDDRVE003

We spend over $1M/month on Meta and we're looking for editors who care about performance, not just pretty videos.

This is not a traditional video editing role.

We're not looking for someone who wants to sit in Premiere all day making things look beautiful.

We're looking for someone who understands that every edit has one purpose:

Get attention. Hold attention. Drive performance.

You'll work directly with a Creative Strategist inside a dedicated creative pod, turning proven concepts into ads that generate real revenue.

If you're obsessed with direct response marketing, love AI tools, and want to eventually grow into a Creative Strategist role, keep reading.

About Us

We are a fast-growing DTC advertising team currently spending over $1M/month on Meta.

Our primary focus is helping women experiencing hair loss, particularly menopausal women and women using GLP-1 medications.

We test aggressively.

We launch constantly.

We optimize based on data.

Our editors are not production assistants.

They're a critical part of creating winning ads.

Many companies hire editors to cut footage.

We hire editors to help scale performance.

What You'll Actually Do

You'll receive concepts, scripts, and creative direction from your Creative Strategist.

Your responsibility is turning those ideas into ads that perform.

You will:

  • Create direct response video ads for Meta
  • Build ads using existing assets, creator content, AI-generated content, and stock footage
  • Use AI tools to create both A-roll and B-roll content
  • Produce multiple creative variations for testing
  • Organize and maintain creative assets
  • Upload, name, and document completed ads
  • Collaborate closely with Creative Strategists
  • Analyze feedback and creative performance
  • Iterate based on performance data
  • Stay current with emerging AI tools and editing workflows

This is a high-volume creative environment where speed matters.

Why This Role Is Different

Most editing jobs stop at execution.

This role gives you exposure to:

  • Creative strategy
  • Consumer psychology
  • Performance marketing
  • Ad account data
  • Creative testing systems
  • AI-driven creative production

You'll work directly under experienced Creative Strategists who will help you develop.

In fact, members of our team have successfully grown from editing roles into Creative Strategist positions.

If your long-term goal is becoming exceptional at direct response marketing, this is one of the fastest ways to get there.

What Winning Looks Like

You're succeeding when:

  • You consistently ship high-quality ads
  • Your ads contribute to scalable winners
  • You understand what makes ads perform
  • You require minimal revisions
  • You move quickly without sacrificing quality
  • You continuously improve through feedback and testing

Core KPIs

  • Minimum 5 ads produced per week
  • 8% ad hit rate
  • Consistent delivery speed
  • High execution quality

You'll Probably Love This Role If...

  • You care about outcomes more than aesthetics
  • You constantly study winning ads
  • You enjoy figuring out why ads work
  • You move quickly
  • You enjoy testing and experimentation
  • You love AI tools
  • You want to become better every month
  • You enjoy working in high-performance environments

This Role Will Be Painful If...

  • You only care about making videos look pretty
  • You dislike feedback
  • You move slowly
  • You avoid learning new AI tools
  • You don't care about performance metrics
  • You prefer low-volume production environments

Requirements

You must have:

  • Full-time availability (40+ hours per week)
  • Experience creating direct response content for ecommerce brands
  • Strong understanding of video pacing and attention retention
  • Experience creating content for Meta and TikTok-style platforms
  • Fluent English communication skills
  • Experience using AI tools in your editing workflow

You should ideally have experience with:

  • AI-generated video workflows
  • Veo
  • Higgsfield
  • Creative testing environments
  • Consumer psychology
  • Video virality principles

You do not need to be a Creative Strategist.

But you should be interested in understanding creative strategy.

Tools & Environment

Use whatever editing software allows you to create winning ads efficiently.

Common tools include:

  • CapCut
  • Premiere Pro
  • After Effects
  • Veo
  • Higgsfield
  • Creative analytics platforms
  • Meta Ads Manager
  • Atria

We're tool-agnostic.

We care about outcomes.

Compensation & Bonus Structure

Base Compensation

$1,300–$1,800/month

Based on experience and demonstrated ability.

Performance Bonuses

We reward editors whose ads become winners.

For every ad that reaches:

  • $10,000+ spend $275 bonus
  • $20,000+ spend additional $125 bonus

Winning ads create meaningful upside on top of your base salary.

The better your ads perform, the more you earn.

Team Structure

You'll work inside a dedicated creative pod and report directly to a Creative Strategist.

Current pod leaders include:

  • Hassan
  • Athena

Your working hours will generally align with the Creative Strategist leading your pod.

Applicants should be located at GMT+1 or later.
