• Proven track record of editing successful ads for paid media campaigns.
• Expertise in editing software such as Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Final Cut Pro, or similar tools.
• Strong understanding of storytelling, pacing, and persuasive editing techniques.
• Familiarity with performance marketing metrics (CTR, conversions, hook & hold rates for retention measurement) is a plus.
• Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced, creative environment.
• A strong portfolio showcasing ads and marketing-driven content is required.

• 100% Remote, flexible work.
• Competitive contractor compensation: $1,500–$2,500/month.
• Work on high-growth brands with large-scale ad spend.
