Senior AI Video Editor - 26052802

This a Full Remote job, the offer is available from: Africa, United States, Saudi Arabia, Cyprus, Armenia, Qatar, Estonia, Latvia, Ukraine, North Macedonia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Albania, Poland, Romania, Uzbekistan, Philippines, Portugal, Spain, Morocco, Malta, Belgium, Germany, France, Slovakia, Czechia, Italy, Slovenia, Montenegro, Croatia, Serbia, Georgia (USA), Tennessee (USA) Our client is a fast-growing DTC brand obsessed with what makes customers click and creative that actually performs. They don’t just “make content”. They build videos that drive real revenue. We’re hiring a Senior AI Video Editor to both make winning ads AND lead the editing team as we grow. For the first 2–4 weeks you’ll be working on videos only so we can see your craft and you can learn our brand, our hooks, and our winning formats. After that, you’ll keep editing your own videos while also leading the rest of our editing team, tracking their KPIs, holding them accountable, and hiring or letting people go as the team grows. This is not a position for someone looking to simply execute briefs and clock out. We’re 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 You’ll Own As an editor (Weeks 1–4, then ongoing while you also manage):

• Make 15–20 short-form ads per week (15–60s, 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 doesn’t 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: https://drive.google.com/file/d/19jIHnOl2SicNgF6nw_4vGcvVMAk6KZh2/view?usp=drive_link
• 3D animated ad: you should be able to make videos that look like this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XKrBwNtnZtowzeGJ8tz2cCEJjFceWIrZ/view?usp=drive_link
• AI 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: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1t7bwPlMxjBOC8NVEvBwfXAoM15WjJ0vu/view?usp=drive_link

As a manager (Month 2+ onward):

• Manage a team of editors (currently small, growing). Make sure each one is hitting weekly output and quality KPIs.
• Run weekly 1:1s and team check-ins. Spot underperformance early and deal with it.
• Comfortable hiring and letting go of low performers. You bring on new editors when volume calls for it, and you let people go when they aren’t meeting the bar.
• Own the creative output KPIs. Work with the marketing team to spot patterns in winners and fix creative problems at the root.
• Be available on weekends when volume requires it.

Must-Haves

• 3+ years editing short-form paid ads (UGC, DTC, performance creative, not wedding videos, not YouTube vlogs).
• 1+ year managing other editors or creatives in a paid-media or agency setting.
• Heavy, hands-on use of AI video tools: Higgsfield, Runway, Kling, Flow, Sora.
• Good with CapCut or Adobe Premiere + After Effects.
• Able to source footage, B-roll, and reference clips from the internet quickly. You know where to look and don’t waste hours hunting.
• You can blend an AI shot and a real product so a viewer can’t 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. You’ll be running meetings, giving feedback, and coaching editors, so being comfortable in front of a team matters.
• 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).

Nice-to-Haves

• You understand ad metrics.
• You’ve personally edited a video with real Meta ad spend behind it.
