Descripción del empleo

Natura Labs is a fast-growing performance marketing agency managing paid social programs across a portfolio of DTC brands. We have a library of high-impact scripts and direct-response frameworks, and we need a hands-on video editor with strong editing fundamentals who also lives and breathes the latest AI video tools -- and understands direct-response editing well enough to turn our scripts into scroll-stopping ads of various formats (UGC, mini-VSL, long-form VSL, problem/solution, and more).

What You'll Do

AI Video Production

• Use AI avatar and lip-sync tools (ArcAds, LipDub, D-ID, DeepBrain, or equivalent) to create lifelike spokesperson and UGC-style videos
• Generate and integrate synthetic voiceovers and AI-generated video via Google VO3, ElevenLabs, or similar
• Work with AI generation platforms like Higgsfield, RunwayML, or ComfyUI to produce and enhance footage
• Recreate viral reference videos with high fidelity in pacing, visual structure, and editing style
• Adapt scripts into 1-10 minute vertical ads for Facebook, with on-screen captions, kinetic text, and strong hooks
• Implement proven DR elements: first-3-sec pattern interrupts, clear CTAs, and scroll-stopping overlays
• Long-form VSL editing experience (20 min+) is a strong bonus -- we have scripts ready to produce

End-to-End Workflow

• Assemble assets (stock B-roll, UGC clips, AI-generated footage), apply color grading, sound design, and motion graphics
• Organize and upload completed videos to shared folders with clean naming conventions
• Maintain and update a shared creative tracking spreadsheet
• Submit structured daily EOD updates via Slack
• Iterate fast on feedback -- new cuts delivered within 12-24 hours
• Optimize exports for platform specs

Must-Have

• 2+ years editing direct-response VSL/UGC ads for DTC e-com brands
• Strong foundation in traditional video editing -- pacing, cuts, color grading, sound design, and motion graphics
• Comfortable in Premiere Pro, Final Cut, or DaVinci as your primary editing tool
• Hands-on experience with AI video and avatar tools (D-ID, DeepBrain, Higgsfield, RunwayML, or similar) -- AI is a core part of the workflow, not optional
• Proven portfolio showing both traditional edits AND AI-assisted videos -- share links or screenshots
• Strong sense of pacing, hook placement, and DR storytelling in 30-120 second formats
• Expected to deliver multiple video outputs daily with fast turnaround
• Comfortable working async with a remote team -- we run on Slack EODs and shared trackers
• Fast turnaround, high attention to detail, and solid async communication

Nice-to-Have

• Prior work on health or wellness DTC brands with compliance-clean visuals
• Experience with caption styling for mobile-first platforms
• Familiarity with Vidalytics or Wistia for VSL embedding
• Ability to spin up quick A/B variant edits (color, text, hook angle)
• ComfyUI or LoRA experience is a big plus
