Direct Response AI Video Editor
Fully Remote · Listed 8 days ago
A mid-level direct response video editor role at a performance creative and advertising business, cutting video ads for Meta, TikTok and YouTube every week. Competitive salary based on experience, plus a performance bonus for every winning ad you create.
Our client builds performance creative for established direct-to-consumer brands doing eight and nine figures in revenue. You will sit inside a brand team with creative strategists and media buyers, and every ad you cut is judged on one question: does it sell?
What you will do
- Turn briefs, raw UGC and proven concepts into direct response video ads every week.
- Build edits around hooks, the first three seconds, pacing, captions, social proof and clear offers.
- Scale winners with hook variations, remixes and new formats.
- Use AI tools and a proprietary in-house creative platform for animations, avatars, voice and music.
- Review hook rate, hold rate, CTR and CPA with the team, then push the creative further.
- Keep creator content and production workflows organised without slowing down output.
Who you are
- You have a portfolio of direct response or e-commerce ads you edited, ideally with results you can discuss.
- 2+ years in Premiere Pro, CapCut, After Effects or similar, and at least 1 year on e-commerce ads.
- You have used AI generation tools for video, avatars, voice or music.
- You know TikTok, Instagram Reels and short-form ad trends closely.
- You produce high volume without dropping quality, and action feedback the same day.
- You care about conversions more than cinematic polish. Brand film specialists will not enjoy this.
What you get
- Competitive salary based on experience and capability, plus a performance bonus for every winning ad.
- Fully remote and location-independent work.
- In-house training from experienced media buyers and creative strategists.
- Exposure to major DTC brands with substantial advertising budgets.
- A path toward becoming an elite performance-focused e-commerce editor, in a multicultural team that rewards ownership.

No. Performance is measured by creative output, speed and advertising results, not how polished the videos look.
Do I need to understand ad metrics?

This is not just editing videos. It is creating ads that sell.
