Job Description

Short-form video editor for TikTok and Meta Ads, focusing on creative performance and high engagement. Editing, clipping, and remixing footage to produce high-retention ads.

Responsibilities:

  • Edit high-retention, high-engagement short-form videos for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and Meta Ads
  • Write and cut strong hooks (visual + text) and test multiple hook variations per concept
  • Develop and execute different creative angles for the same product (problem/solution, social proof, UGC, listicle, "TikTok made me buy it," etc.)
  • Clip, repurpose, and remix existing videos and older creative into fresh, native-feeling ads
  • Cut multiple variations of winning ads for A/B testing (hook swaps, different intros, aspect ratios, lengths)
  • Add captions, sound design, trending audio, on-screen text, and pacing that keeps viewers watching
  • Stay current on TikTok/Meta trends, formats, and what's working in the ad account
  • Collaborate with the media buying / marketing team, iterating quickly based on ad performance data
  • Deliver on fast turnaround timelines with a high volume of creatives

Requirements:

  • Proven experience editing for TikTok and/or Meta Ads (please share a portfolio, reel, or examples of ads you've cut)
  • Deep understanding of hooks, angles, and retention — you can explain why a video works, not just edit it
  • Strong grasp of what makes short-form content native and scroll-stopping (not corporate or overproduced)
  • Ability to repurpose and reframe existing footage into new, high-performing clips
  • Proficiency in editing tools (CapCut, Premiere Pro, After Effects, or equivalent)
  • Fast, self-directed, and comfortable producing a high volume of creative
  • Bonus: experience editing direct-response / DTC e-commerce ads, working with UGC creators, or a track record of ads that actually drove results
  • Nice to Have Basic understanding of ad performance metrics (hook rate, hold rate, CTR, ROAS)
  • Experience with home décor, lifestyle, or product-based brands
  • Ability to source trending audio and formats before they peak.
