Video AI Editor
Job Summary
Our client is a fast-growing DTC brand obsessed with what makes customers click and creative that actually performs. They dont just make content. They build videos that drive real revenue. Were hiring an AI Video Editor to produce winning short-form ads at volume.
A core part of this role is being highly proficient with AI and sourcing footage from the internet efficiently. You know which AI tools to reach for where to look for B-roll reference clips and stock and you find what you need fast without wasting hours hunting
This is not a position for someone looking to simply execute briefs and clock out. Were looking for someone genuinely obsessed with the craft of video editing.
We give you the scripts briefs and reference videos. You bring them to life with AI tools: fast technical and at volume.
What Youll Own
Make 1520 short-form ads per week (1560s depending on how complex they are) for Meta.
Create UGC-style ads without any real UGC using ElevenLabs (voice) Higgsfield Runway Kling Flow Sora and whatever new AI tool drops next month. We expect you to be comfortable picking up new tools and staying on top of trends on your own.
Be able to integrate the product into AI scenes so it doesnt look fake: AI actor holding the bottle clean overlays matched lighting.
Scroll-stopping hooks tight pacing captions matching audio and sound.
Example videos of what success looks like:
AI UGC talking head: a fully AI-made UGC-style talking head with graphics and everything: animated ad: you should be able to make videos that look like this: product integration: no real UGC; the product is integrated into the scene using AI. Look at 1:43 to 2:08 and 2:45 to the end. Those are product-integrated shots that can be created using AI. You should be able to pull this off too: years editing short-form paid ads (UGC DTC performance creative not wedding videos not YouTube vlogs).
Heavy hands-on use of AI video tools: Higgsfield Runway Kling Flow Sora.
Good with CapCut or Adobe Premiere After Effects.
You can blend an AI shot and a real product so a viewer cant tell where one ends and the other begins.
Speed under pressure. This is a fast-paced ad environment. Briefs change winners get reworked the same day and turnaround matters more than perfection.
Strong written and spoken English.
A solid computer that can handle rendering and heavy edits plus a stable internet connection.
Comfortable in Slack Google Drive and a project tracker (ClickUp).
Available to work on weekends when ad volume requires it.
Nice-to-Haves
Youve personally edited a video with real Meta ad spend behind it.
