Job Description

We're an ad agency producing high-volume short-form product videos, and we need an editor who can turn raw footage and clips into scroll-stopping content for TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Speed matters, but so does the instinct for what actually holds attention in the first three seconds.

What You'll Be Editing

Product-focused ads, top to bottom: hooks that stop the scroll, punchy pacing, clean captions and text overlays, sound design and trending audio, b-roll and transitions, and a clear call to action at the end. You'll take direction from creative briefs and cut multiple variations of the same concept for testing — different hooks, different openers, different lengths.

What You Need

  • Strong hands-on experience editing short-form vertical video in CapCut and Premiere Pro
  • A real feel for pacing, retention, and what makes product ads convert — not just technically clean edits
  • Ability to add dynamic captions, on-screen text, and sound design that fits the platform
  • Comfort working fast across a high volume of edits without dropping quality
  • Understanding of TikTok, Reels, and Shorts formats and current trends
  • Good written English to follow briefs and communicate clearly
  • Reliable internet and a machine that can handle video editing smoothly

Nice to Have

  • Motion graphics or basic After Effects
  • Experience editing UGC-style or direct-response ads specifically
  • A sense for A/B testing hooks and variations

This is a full-time role working alongside our creative team, with overlap during US business hours.

To apply, send your portfolio or reel — ideally short-form product or ad work — and tell us which tools you edit in and roughly how many videos a week you're used to turning around.
