We are seeking a high-velocity, detail-oriented Performance Video Editor to lead our ad creative production.

• High-Velocity Video Editing: Edit, package, and deliver 40+ core video ad concepts per week (yielding ~60 total ad variations through modular hook swaps, aspect ratio cuts, and text overlay variations).
• Script & Brief Execution: Transform Creative Strategist briefs into production-ready Meta ads - following detailed time-cuts, visual cues, sound design, and text callouts.

• Software Mastery: Expert proficiency in Premiere Pro, CapCut Desktop, After Effects, or Final Cut Pro.
• Direct-Response & Pattern Interrupt Mindset: Deep understanding of 3-second visual hooks, text placement, fast pacing, and kinetic typography that drives conversions.
• Systems-Minded & Organized: Ability to manage high-volume export pipelines, standardized file naming conventions, and template components.
