Our growth runs through paid social - Meta and TikTok at a serious scale, which means video is at the center of everything we do. We produce a high volume of UGC-style and direct-response ad creative, and we need editors who can keep up without the output quality slipping. This isn't a passion project or a content agency. The videos we edit run as paid ads, and the numbers tell us immediately what's working and what isn't. If you're the kind of editor who gets better with every round of feedback and wants to understand why something performs, not just how it looks, this is the environment for you. We operate across multiple brands and categories, which means if needed, our editors must have the ability to switch between brand voices and audience types without losing quality or pace. ### The Role As an **AI-Focused Video Editor**, you'll be responsible for creating and editing AI-assisted video content primarily for paid social advertising. This includes AI-generated visuals, AI _UGC_\-style creatives, product-focused videos, direct-response ads, and variations of existing winning concepts across Meta and TikTok. You'll work closely with Creative Strategists, Video Editors, and the wider creative team to turn concepts and briefs into platform-ready ad creatives. You'll be expected to actively use and experiment with AI video generation and editing tools to create more creative variations, improve turnaround time, and expand what can be produced from a single concept. This is a high-output and high-feedback role. Your work will be reviewed not only on visual quality but also on how effectively it supports creative testing and campaign performance. ### What You'll Be Doing ### AI Video Creation & Editing - Create AI-generated and AI-assisted video creatives for paid social advertising across Meta and TikTok -

Create multiple versions of the same concept efficiently, including _hook_ variations, visual variations, CTAs, and different creative angles - Produce fast-paced edits with strong visual changes, pacing, captions, text overlays, sound design, music, and motion graphics where needed - Ensure AI-generated content feels natural, engaging, and platform-native rather than obviously artificial or repetitive - Continuously experiment with new AI video tools and workflows that can improve creative quality, speed, and production capacity ### Creative Testing & Iteration - Work from creative briefs, scripts, winning ad references, and performance insights provided by Creative Strategists - Translate creative concepts into multiple AI-generated visual approaches for testing - Produce variations of winning concepts without simply duplicating existing ads - Apply feedback quickly and accurately to improve creative output - Repurpose high-performing concepts into new formats, angles, audiences, or visual styles - Identify opportunities where AI can help produce stronger or more scalable creative variations - Understand the relationship between editing, visual storytelling, _hook_ structure, attention retention, and ad performance ### Workflow & Collaboration -
