Job description

Senior Video Editor (Performance Creative)

🚀 Performance Bonus — Up to RM10,000+

This is a performance-driven role, not a time-based one.

We value results more than hours worked — that’s why we offer large performance bonuses.

• High-performing editors can earn merit-based bonuses up to RM10,000+
• Bonuses are tied directly to:
  • Ads that perform and scale
  • Strong retention and thumb-stop rates
  • Consistent first-edit approvals
  • Ownership, speed, and reliability
• Not tied to seniority or time spent online

If you think like a growth partner, understand how ads convert, and take ownership of outcomes — this role offers real upside, not capped potential.

⚠️ Read This First — Who This Role Is For

Apply only if you are:

• Hungry to grow fast
• Serious about long-term skill and income growth
• Someone who values performance over hours worked
• Comfortable in a high-expectation, fast-moving environment

We are a performance marketing agency managing multiple e-commerce brands and have generated over USD $10 Million in total revenue.

Our growth is rapid. Our standards are high. Our ability to adapt quickly is critical.

This role is not for beginners.

That said — you will not be left alone. We have senior-level strategists and operators who actively review work, give feedback, and help you grow into a top-tier performance editor.

If you want:

• Stability without growth → this is not the role
• Comfort without accountability → this is not the role

If you want to compound skills, income, and career trajectory — keep reading.

🔍 Role Overview

Your job is to turn winning scripts and creative concepts into performance-ready video ads that stop the scroll, hold attention, and convert.

You are not just editing videos. You are helping build ads that are designed to scale on Meta, TikTok, and YouTube.

This role requires speed, structure, and conversion awareness.

You will be responsible for:

• Hitting the hook immediately
• Maintaining engagement through pacing and sequencing
• Visually communicating product + outcome
• Matching each edit to the platform it’s running on

What You Must Be Good At

You should already:

• Understand why ads win or lose, especially in the first 3–6 seconds
• Know how to cut for retention, not aesthetics
• Follow scripts precisely — but improve pacing when needed
• Turn raw UGC, testimonials, and B-roll into clean ad flows
• Spot when visuals slow down the message and fix it without being told
• Work fast without breaking structure or clarity

This is a performance role, not a cinematic or branding role.

Experience & Fit (Read Carefully)

This role is not suitable for junior editors, social media editors, or branding-only creatives.

1. Deep Understanding of Human Psychology (Required)

• You understand how viewers emotionally process ads, not just how to edit clips.
• You know how to use visual pacing, sequencing, and framing to guide emotion.
• You can translate fear, relief, curiosity, urgency, desire, and trust into visuals.
• You actively think about what the viewer feels second-by-second.

2. 3–5+ Years in the E-commerce Industry (Non-Negotiable)

• You have at least 3–5 years of experience in e-commerce.
• You’ve edited ads for products that sell online, not just content for views.
• You understand funnels, presell logic, and why certain creatives scale.

3. E-commerce Performance Editors Only

We are only hiring editors with direct-response e-commerce experience.

You must have experience with:

• Paid social ads (Meta, TikTok, YouTube Shorts)
• UGC-style conversion creatives
• Performance-focused editing (hooks, retention, CTAs)

If your background is mainly:

• Music videos
• Corporate videos
• Brand films
• Long-form YouTube

👉 This role is not a match.

4. English Proficiency (Required)

• Fluent or strong working proficiency in English.
• Able to understand scripts without hand-holding.
• Can match captions, overlays, and pacing to English VO naturally.
• Sensitive to tone, urgency, and emotional nuance.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

• Final Ads Delivered / Week: 18–27 (consists of variations)
• Hook Variations / Week: Minimum 3 per script
• Thumb-Stop Rate (0–3s retention): ≥ 30%
• First-Edit Approval Rate: ≥ 80%
• Re-edit Turnaround Time: ≤ 24 hours

Daily Responsibilities

• Review new scripts and concepts from Creative Strategist
• Study the brief, references, and swipe files
• Request missing footage early
• Cut 2–3 DCTs/day depending on complexity
• Ensure hook lands within 0.5–1.5 seconds
• Add captions, overlays, and brand elements accurately
• Export using correct naming convention
• Upload all trimmed and reusable B-roll into shared Drive

Weekly Responsibilities

• Deliver 5–10 final ads per concept by Friday
• Build multiple hook variations for winners
• Review performance feedback with strategist
• Reverse-engineer winning creatives
• Organize and tag new UGC and B-roll

Collaboration

• Work closely with Creative Strategist and Media Buyer
• Understand angle, awareness level, and emotional intent
• Propose improvements proactively
• Iterate fast based on performance data
