Job description

## About the Role**Why This Role Matters**CommerceLabs runs health and wellness brands doing over $45 million in annual sales. Paid social is a primary acquisition channel, and the creative — specifically the video ads — is what makes or breaks performance. We're building the creative engine for Nusava, one of our supplement brands, and we need an editor who treats a brief as a real execution target, not a starting point for negotiation. This is a high-output, AI-native role where your work runs as a paid ad, gets tracked, and gets iterated. You'll know exactly how your cuts are performing.**What You'll Do*** Cut short-form direct-response ads from a finished script and scene brief — 9:16 vertical for Meta and TikTok* Produce genuine hook variation: every cut in a batch opens on a visibly different scene, not just a different subtitle* Generate and select AI video footage using our internal toolstack and workflows* Make AI-generated footage feel native to the platform — right pacing, sound, and clip selection so it doesn't read as stock* Treat every piece of feedback as a new standard: a note given once applies across the whole batch and every batch after it* Deliver 5–7 finished cuts per day on a Monday/Thursday cadence, handed off before 7 AM EST on launch days* Manage revisions in Frame.io — same-day turnaround, one to two rounds, not four* Flag scenes that can't be executed as written rather than substituting silently**Why You'll Love It*** Your work actually runs — every cut gets tracked against real paid spend, and you'll see the performance data* AI-native from day one — you're not retrofitting AI into an old workflow* Clear briefs, fixed cadence, no ambiguity — you know exactly what's due and when* Fully remote, async-friendly outside of the **8 AM–12 PM EST** overlap window* Path to a long-term retainer based on output quality — this is designed to grow## Requirements**Education & Experience*** Background in short-form vertical direct-response editing — supplements, health and wellness, skincare, or another transformational product category strongly preferred* **Portfolio of exactly 3 ads you personally edited that actually ran as paid ads** — include the brand, platform, and how each performed. Links only, no attachments. This is the first thing we review and the most important part of your application* Fluent with AI video generation tools and able to describe your actual workflow* Comfortable working from a creative brief without needing the concept explained to you* Frame.io experience for receiving and turning around written feedback**Core Skills*** Short-form vertical video editing for Meta and TikTok paid social* AI video generation — frame-to-frame workflows, prompt iteration, clip selection* Hook variation — building genuinely distinct opening scenes from a single script* High-volume output with consistent quality (5–7 cuts/day)* File delivery standards: correct naming, correct specs, clean handoffs* Adobe Creative Suite (own subscription required)* Frame.io — written feedback review and same-day revision turnaround**Soft Skills & Work Approach*** Feedback sticks — you apply a note once and it becomes your new standard, not a one-time fix* Output-oriented — you measure yourself by what shipped and how it performed, not hours logged* Proactive communicator — if a scene can't be executed as written, you say so before you ship something wrong* Reliable without being chased — batches land on schedule because you built the habit, not because someone followed up* Comfortable with iteration — paid social creative is a testing environment; you're not precious about cuts that don't win
