Job description

GrowthAssistant connects top marketing and operations talent with fast-growing companies that depend on great execution to scale. Founded in 2021 and named by Forbes as one of the best startups to work at, we're a permanently remote team that runs on integrity, proactive candor, and a bias toward action — and we prioritize the human experience in everything we do. We hire for skill and for heart, and we invest in our people for the long haul.

The Opportunity

We're hiring a UGC Video Editor for a fast-growing consumer brand — editing hook-driven, conversion-focused UGC-style video ads for paid social, with real creative autonomy to turn light briefs and raw footage into multiple ad variations.

What Your Day-to-Day Will Look Like

• UGC Ad Editing: Edit UGC-style video ads for paid performance channels (Meta, TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts) — hook-driven and conversion-focused, not brand film.
• Working from Light Briefs: Turn raw creator B-roll, a script, or a general concept into multiple ad variations with real creative autonomy.
• Direct Response Fundamentals: Apply judgment and experience to every edit — scroll-stopping hook, narrative arc, clear CTA, and pacing tuned for retention.
• Independent Creative Calls: Scan raw footage, select clips, structure transitions, and choose text overlays and pacing without heavy direction.
• Variation Production: Produce multiple ad variations from a single footage set to fuel rapid creative testing.
• AI Creative Tools: Use AI creative tools (e.g. ElevenLabs, Arcads, Veo3, Nano Banana, Adobe Firefly) to accelerate production and expand variation output.
• Pre-Submission QA: Catch typos, blank frames, off-brief edits, and workflow errors before anything reaches the client.
• Proactive Communication: Flag blockers, delays, and tech issues in real time; keep daily updates tight and proactive.
• Performance-Driven Iteration: Iterate on creative based on ad performance data — interpret what's working and adjust future edits accordingly.

What You Bring

• Performance Ad Editing Experience: 2+ years editing performance video ads for DTC brands or performance creative agencies.
• Real Ad Portfolio: A portfolio with diverse paid ad work for DTC/ecom brands — not just branded content, narrative film, or organic social.
• Direct Response Fluency: Deep fluency with hook structure, narrative arc, and CTA design in paid UGC creative.
• Tool Proficiency: Proficient in Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, and CapCut (or equivalent).
• Footage Judgment: Strong footage judgment — able to scan raw footage, select clips, and build an ad independently.
• High-Volume Comfort: Comfortable in high-volume, fast-turnaround environments with multi-client context switching.
• Self-Sufficiency: Self-sufficient on light briefs — makes strong creative calls without heavy direction.
• Proactive Communication: Flags issues and delays in real time, not at the end of the shift.

Bonus Points if:

• You have formal direct response training.
• You have hands-on experience with AI creative tools — ElevenLabs, Arcads, Veo3, Nano Banana, Descript, Adobe Enhance.
• You have experience building multiple ad variations from a single footage set at scale.
• You have experience interpreting ad analytics (CTR, hook rate, retention curves) to inform creative iteration.
• You have an agency background with multi-brand portfolio experience.
