Direct Response Video Editor (VSL Ads) – Remote / Contract

Are you a killer video editor who knows how to sell with a timeline?
We’re Built To Scale, a performance marketing agency obsessed with driving conversions. Our creatives power 7- and 8-figure brands. Right now, we’re looking for a Direct Response Video Editor who lives and breathes VSL ads—and understands how the right B-roll can make a viewer stop scrolling and start buying.

???? What You’ll Be Doing:
Editing high-converting VSL-style ads for Facebook, YouTube, and native platforms (1–5 mins long)

Sourcing and syncing scroll-stopping B-roll that adds emotion, context, and energy

Weaving together voiceovers, testimonials, product clips, and motion text into ads that sell

Collaborating with our copy and creative strategy team to build compelling storylines

Delivering multiple variants per ad with different hooks, CTAs, and pacing

???? You’re A Fit If You:
Have 3+ years of experience editing direct response video ads (NOT just pretty brand videos)

Know how to match B-roll to emotional and logical buying triggers

Understand funnels, hooks, CTAs, and offer positioning in a VSL context

Have access to licensed stock libraries (or know where to find gold)

Work fast, take feedback like a pro, and aren’t precious about revisions

Can handle multiple projects and hit tight deadlines without sacrificing quality

Bonus: You’ve edited for health, finance, supplements, or high-ticket coaching brands

???? Example Projects:
“Whistleblower” style ads that open with a strong hook and tease a secret
Quiz-style UGC/VSL hybrids for skincare or weight loss
Native-style advertorial breakdowns that sell without screaming “ad”

???? Tools You Should Know:
Adobe Premiere (bonus if you dabble in After Effects for light motion graphics)
---------- , Slack, and Google Drive
Dropbox, Google Docs, and Notion (for briefs & assets)
AI Platforms (Huge Plus): ChatGPT, Claude, ElevenLabs, Pictory, Runway, or any AI tools that speed up editing, scriptwriting, voiceovers, or B-roll sourcing

???? Why Work With Built To Scale?
We’re not just pushing pixels—we're scaling brands with serious budgets

Our creative team is tight, fast, and performance-obsessed

You’ll work with producers who get it, clear briefs, and ZERO scope creep

Opportunity to turn freelance into ongoing retainer if you deliver

???? To Apply:
Send 3–5 examples of direct response VSL ads you’ve edited (not sizzle reels)
