Performance Video Editor

ecom.jobs; United States; Remote; USD 55,000 - 83,000; Full time

Job summary

ecom.jobs is seeking a long-term contractor to scale a paid-creative engine that leverages AI-generated video ads for Meta and TikTok. You will generate, assemble, and optimize ads at volume, focusing on hook, pacing, and message over polish.

You will rapidly ship multiple concept variants using AI tools, and you’ll be responsible for quick iteration and performance-driven edits in a remote LATAM setup while aligning with US business hours.

Qualifications

• AI video generation is your daily workflow and you have hands-on experience.

Responsibilities

• Generate video ads with AI tools (Runway, Kling, Veo, Sora, HeyGen, ElevenLabs): hyper-realistic UGC-style, animated, product-led.
• Direct the tools with intent: prompt, iterate, control realism and style consistency across shots.
• Cut for the hook and the hold: stop the scroll in two seconds, keep them to the CTA.
• Ship variants at volume: a winning concept needs five hook variants, not five days.
• Assemble AI footage, real UGC, and product shots into finished ads in 9:16, 4:5, 1:1.
• Captions and sound that work sound-off and support pacing.
• Iterate on performance feedback: refine what's working, kill what isn't.

Job description

Our client is a fast-growing DTC pet brand with hundreds of thousands of customers across North America. They're building a paid-creative engine around AI-generated video and need people who can direct the tools to make ads that convert, at volume.

This is not a brand film role and it's not a traditional editing role. Polish doesn't convert; hook, pacing, and message do. You'll generate and assemble video ads for Meta and TikTok using AI, fast, and built to perform.

What you'll do

• Generate video ads with AI tools (Runway, Kling, Veo, Sora, HeyGen, ElevenLabs): hyper-realistic UGC-style, animated, product-led
• Direct the tools with intent: prompt, iterate, control realism and style consistency across shots
• Cut for the hook and the hold: stop the scroll in two seconds, keep them to the CTA
• Ship variants at volume: a winning concept needs five hook variants, not five days
• Assemble AI footage, real UGC, and product shots into finished ads in 9:16, 4:5, 1:1
• Captions and sound that work sound-off and support pacing
• Iterate on performance feedback: refine what's working, kill what isn't

What we're looking for

• AI video generation is already your daily workflow, not a tool you tried once
• 2+ years making video ads for DTC or paid social; you know what a hook is and why it matters
• A portfolio of ads built to perform, including AI-generated work
• Comfortable in Premiere, CapCut, or DaVinci for assembly and finishing
• Speed and volume: you can tell us how many ads you ship a week
• US business hours, self-directed, moves across briefs without hand-holding

Who you're not

• Your background is brand film, corporate, or event work
• You need detailed direction for every cut
• You'd rather make one perfect edit than twenty test-ready ones
• AI video is something you're planning to learn

Setup

Long-term contractor role, remote anywhere in Latin America, room to grow as the creative engine scales.
