About the Role

We are hiring a performance-focused Video Editor to produce high-converting ad creatives for local service businesses.

This is not a "make it look cool" role.

What You’ll Do

• Edit short-form and mid-form video ads from raw footage, UGC, talking heads, screen recordings, and stock to deliver scroll-stopping creatives optimized for Meta, YouTube Shorts, and Reels.
• Turn winning ads into high-volume variations (new hooks, pacing, captions, visuals).
• Repurpose organic content into paid ads that actually convert.
• Implement modern editing patterns: fast hooks, pattern interrupts, captions, punch-ins, b-roll overlays, utilizing AI assets when necessary.
• Light graphic design in Canva (thumbnails, simple overlays, text slides, brand-aligned visuals).
• Edit with direct-response intent, not vibes.
• Follow scripts, hooks, and angles rooted in avatar psychology and offer positioning.
• Collaborate with media buyers to iterate based on CTR, CPL, hook retention, and ROAS.
• Understand when new creative is required (fatigue, scaling, new offers).
• Hit tight turnaround times without sacrificing quality.
• Follow and improve existing creative SOPs.
• Keep ad accounts stocked with fresh creatives as necessary.
• Name files, versions, and variations cleanly (we scale—sloppiness kills speed).

What We Look For (Skills & Fit)

• Fluent in English (written and verbal) — strong communication is a must.
• Based in Latin America (Mexico, Buenos Aires, or similar regions preferred).
• Comfortable making basic graphic design edits in Canva.
• Strong understanding of short-form ad content and social media trends.
• Able to take feedback, iterate quickly, and improve creatives over time.
• Organized, proactive, and able to work independently without micromanagement.

KPIs & Accountable For

• Volume of ad-ready creatives delivered weekly.
• Turnaround time from request to final export.
• Creative iteration velocity (variants per winner).
• Performance contribution (ads you edit that scale).

What You Bring (Tools & Mindset)

• Strong proficiency in Premiere Pro (CapCut experience a plus).
• Comfortable with Captions App and subtitle-based editing.
• Familiar with AI tools (Descript, ElevenLabs, basic AI video workflows).
• Performance mindset: understand direct-response ads, pacing, hooks, captions, and framing impact.
• Comfortable editing ads for local services (contractors, home services, land clearing, etc.).
• Execution style: take feedback fast, apply immediately, data wins, independent work, no micromanagement.
• Cultural fit: no ego, performance > aesthetic.

What You’ll Get

$1,500 USD / month base salary (with opportunities for growth and bonuses). Work with an experienced US-based marketing team. Hands‑on learning environment with mentorship from top‑performing media buyers. Growth‑oriented company culture built on excellence, creativity, and collaboration.
