About the Role
We’re looking for a Video Editor who thrives in a fast-paced, high-output creative environment. Your primary focus will be editing UGC-style videos for paid social, with motion graphics layered in to elevate the final product. You’ll iterate quickly on creative concepts and collaborate with Art Directors, Growth Strategists, and creative teammates to deliver a high volume of testable video ad variations. This role requires someone who is performance-minded, detail-oriented, proactive, and comfortable working with speed, feedback, iteration, and results.
You Will:
Edit high volumes of UGC-style, short-form video content in Adobe Premiere Pro for Meta, TikTok, YouTube, Snap, and other paid social platforms.
Add motion graphics, animated text, and visual elements that make ads more engaging and scroll-stopping.
Rapidly iterate and version ads based on testing frameworks and creative briefs, often turning a single concept into multiple testable variants.
Integrate performance feedback and creative testing insights into ongoing iterations to improve ad effectiveness.
Collaborate with Art Directors and Growth Strategists to align creative output with performance goals and audience insights, working from storyboards and creative briefs.
Use templates, CapCut, and AI-enhanced editing tools to scale asset creation quickly and consistently.
Apply strong editing fundamentals including pacing, timing, audio balancing, color correction, and text overlays for direct-response storytelling.
Incorporate UGC content, stock footage, and platform-native trends to drive authenticity and engagement.
About You:
Your Background:
2 to 4+ years of video editing experience in a performance marketing, creative agency, or content production environment.
Advanced proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro, which is where all edits are done. This is essential for the role.
Hands-on experience editing UGC-style video content for paid social.
Experience creating motion graphics, such as animated text, transitions, and overlays.
Strong portfolio demonstrating real-world performance results, including ads that have driven engagement, clicks, or revenue.
Solid understanding of how creative impacts paid performance and media results.
Familiarity with AI or automation tools such as text-to-video, voiceover generators, auto-captioning, and asset versioning workflows.
Excellent communication skills in English and ability to work effectively in a remote, deadline-driven environment.
Self-motivated, fast-moving, able to take feedback constructively, and comfortable operating autonomously while balancing speed, quality, and performance goals.
Nice to Have:
Adobe After Effects experience for motion graphics (the stronger of the two plus points).
Figma familiarity, as the team builds all storyboards there. It is easy to pick up, so this is a smaller plus.
Professional level of Spanish.
Experience working with templates and automated creative production workflows.
Passion for storytelling through video in the context of driving clicks, installs, signups, and sales.
