Job summary

Paired is a global staffing and recruiting agency that connects top talent with a fast-growing DTC cordless power tool brand.

This is a remote, full-time contractor engagement with international collaboration.

Qualifications

• Heavily experienced in editing Meta direct response creatives — we need someone who’s cut a lot of paid ads, not general video or reels.
• Obsessed with AI generation and not afraid of hard editing tasks.
• Can produce realistic AI video of any kind — not just talking heads: product in action, physics, mixed real+AI footage.
• Lives and breathes DTC — understands why an ad works, not just how to cut it.

Responsibilities

• AI video generation and editing, around 15-20 a week, but the main priority is always quality!
• The candidate must own the creation of AI footage, not just assemble it.
• Generate realistic AI A-roll and B-roll independently using tools like Google Flow, Runway, Veo, or similar
• Write and refine prompts to control output quality until assets are realistic and usable
• Use AI-powered editing/creative tools to speed up production
• Optimize video flow, hooks, cadence, and pacing for paid social (Meta/TikTok)
• Track performance feedback and adjust creative accordingly
• Deliver polished, on-brand assets within tight turnaround times
