Talo is hiring on behalf of a client
Full-time · Remote, UK/EU overlap required
A confidential search run by Talo for one of its clients. The full brief is shared with shortlisted candidates.
This role is stated at $1,500+ USD/month plus performance bonuses, varying by location and demonstrated ability. Please give a single monthly figure or a narrow range in USD.
If you are serving notice, give the first date you could realistically begin full-time.
For example: "Portugal — yes, permitted to invoice as a self-employed contractor." Contracts and payment arrangements depend on this.
Be realistic — production deadlines depend on live overlap with the pod.
Answer no if you intend to keep retainer clients or ongoing freelance work.
Count only paid-media editing, not organic social, YouTube or corporate work.
Pick the single closest description.
One per line, e.g. "Agency name — Senior Video Editor — Mar 2022 to present — supplements and beauty accounts". Include whether it was in-house, agency or freelance.
Select all where your edits ran as paid media.
Select all that apply. Claim-sensitive categories are a bonus, not a requirement.
Personally edited means you did the edit, not that you supervised or briefed someone else.
Account-level monthly spend in USD on the account your ads ran in. Choose the honest option if you never had visibility of the figures.
Select only what you executed yourself, hands-on.
For example an Ads Manager screenshot showing hook rate, hold rate, CTR, ROAS or spend, a case study, or a written reference. Remove or blur client-confidential details if needed. Use a public or unrestricted link (Drive, Dropbox, Notion).
One link to a folder or page containing both: the paid DTC ads and your best AI-generated video creative. Label each file with the brand and your exact role in the edit. Check sharing permissions before submitting.
Cover the hook decision, pacing choices, what you cut or added beyond the brief, and what the numbers did after launch (hook rate, hold rate, CTR, ROAS or spend). Around 150–250 words. Write it yourself — pasted AI text is easy to spot and counts against you.
Select only tools you have used on work that shipped, not tools you have trialled.
Select all you are fluent in.
Our standard is roughly 3–5 UGC ads or 1–2 AI ads per day, with around three hook variants per concept.
One paragraph. We are testing judgment, not a process diagram — tell us what you would decide alone, what you would flag, and how you would still deliver on time.
The paid test project follows the portfolio review and edit walkthrough.
Record on your phone or webcam, unedited, speaking to camera. Tell us who you are, the DTC brands or accounts you have edited for, and one editing decision you made that improved hook or hold rate. Upload to Loom, YouTube (unlisted) or Drive and check the link is viewable by anyone.
Optional. For example adjustments you need for interviews or the test project, notice period constraints, or planned time away. Share only what you are comfortable sharing.
