Job description

ABOUT AI ACQUISITION

We help entrepreneurs build AI-powered businesses. $50M+ ARR, high-volume Meta campaigns, scaling fast. We don’t make pretty content — we make ads that convert.

WHAT THIS ROLE ACTUALLY IS

You’ll edit performance ads for our Meta campaigns. High volume, fast turnaround, results-driven.

This is not a YouTube editing role. This is not a cinematic filmmaking role. This is a direct-response advertising role. Success is measured by speed, output, testing velocity, and whether the ads work.

If you need two weeks to edit one ad, this isn’t your role. If you can ship multiple variations in a day and iterate based on data, keep reading.

WHAT YOU’LL BE EDITING

• Founder-style spokesperson ads
• UGC ads
• Testimonial ads
• VSLs
• Webinar promo ads
• Talking-head ads
• Podcast-style ads
• AI-generated creative
• Motion graphic ads
• Hybrid AI + live-action ads

WHAT YOU’LL ACTUALLY DO

• Edit high-volume Meta ads daily
• Build multiple hook variations from existing footage
• Repurpose VSLs into short-form ads
• Produce UGC-style variations fast
• Add captions, graphics, and visual callouts that strengthen the message
• Use AI tools to produce faster without losing quality
• Collaborate with copywriters — take a brief and execute it cleanly
• Iterate based on performance data, not personal taste
• Keep project files organised and meet daily and weekly deadlines

WHAT YOU NEED

Non-negotiable

• Genuine direct-response editing experience — not just strong technical skills
• You understand Meta ads and what makes them work
• Excellent pacing and retention instincts
• You can build a strong hook, not just follow one
• You produce multiple variations rapidly
• Strong English comprehension
• Premiere Pro, CapCut, After Effects, Higgsfield or equivalent
• Fast, reliable internet
• Full-time availability
• Zero ego — feedback is data, not criticism
• Strong eye for b-roll that serves the script, not just looks good

Good to have

• High-ticket or info-product experience
• Lead generation background
• AI animation experience
• AI workflow knowledge
• Ability to read and respond to performance metrics

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

Fast turnaround. Consistent output. Variations that test real hypotheses. The ability to spot what’s working and replicate it. A real understanding of why people stop scrolling and why they click.

COMP & BENEFITS

$3,000–$5,000/month depending on experience, portfolio quality, and direct-response performance experience. Additional performance incentives available for exceptional candidates. Fully remote.
