About This Role:
We are hiring a Video Editor for an eCommerce brand in the healthcare apparel industry. You will create 8–12 short-form videos per week for Meta using customer content, product footage, and AI-generated visuals, with strong opening hooks and engaging storytelling that entertain, inform, keep viewers watching, and drive sales.

Key Responsibilities:

• Create short-form video ads: Edit real customer content and product footage into engaging, well-paced videos for Meta, including organic-style, direct response, and user-generated content (UGC) formats.

• Build strong hooks and maintain viewer attention: Make the first 1–3 seconds compelling, especially through AI-generated content. Use captions, text overlays, sound, transitions, and motion graphics to keep viewers engaged.

• Produce complete AI videos: Create AI UGC and AI animation ads from start to finish, including writing prompts, generating content, choosing the best takes, and editing the final video.

• Create realistic AI supporting footage: Generate b‑roll, such as a nurse walking through a ward or a close‑up of socks being pulled on, to fill gaps in edits. Match the lighting and tone of real footage and deliver usable clips within hours.

• Deliver consistent, on‑brand work: Complete 8–12 finished videos per week, follow creative briefs independently, communicate clearly, and meet deadlines while managing multiple projects.

• Apply relevant video trends: Research TikTok, Reels, and the Meta Ad Library, and bring effective hooks and formats to the team while keeping up with platform requirements.

Software/Platforms/Tools:

• CapCut and at least one professional video editor: Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut Pro

• AI video and image tools such as Kling, Veo, Higgsfield, Runway, Midjourney, Nano Banana, or similar

• A strong portfolio of finished short‑form videos for Reels, TikTok, Shorts, or paid social that shows effective hooks, storytelling, and viewer retention.

• Hands‑on experience creating finished ads using AI UGC, AI animation, and realistic AI b‑roll. Your portfolio should include completed AI videos, beyond experiments, and supporting footage that blends naturally with real clips.

• Strong editing skills, including pacing, cutting to the beat, sound design, and knowing when to hold a shot or move to the next one.

• Proficiency in CapCut and at least one professional video editing platform.

• Ability to work independently from a brief, manage multiple projects, meet deadlines consistently, and communicate clearly.

Nice to Have:

• Experience using ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini to develop hooks, scripts, and captions, or creating original ad concepts from a brief.

• Experience editing video sales letters (VSLs) or longer‑form ads designed to drive purchases or other customer actions.

• Understanding of direct‑to‑consumer (DTC) and eCommerce product storytelling.

• Familiarity with Canva or similar tools for quick overlays and graphics.

• Experience in creative strategy or media buying.

Shift Schedule:

• Monday to Friday, with flexible working hours.
