Video Editor

Do you love crafting videos that sell, not just look pretty?

Are you obsessed with pacing, hooks, retention, and storytelling and want to work inside a real performance-driven ecommerce company where your edits directly impact revenue?

You might be exactly who we’re looking for.

About Us

My name is Greg, and I’m the founder of Cooke Media.

We build and scale ecommerce brands and digital products using direct-response video, VSLs, and paid ads. Our work lives at the intersection of creative + psychology + performance, not generic content.

We’re now looking for a full-time video editor to join us long-term and grow into a senior / head of editors role as we scale.

The Role

You’ll be editing:

- VSLs for our ecommerce products

- Paid ads (Meta, YouTube, short-form variants)

- Supporting creative based on proven reference examples

We provide:

- Clear briefs

- Reference ads & VSLs

- Creative direction when needed

But we are not looking for someone robotic.

We want someone who:

- Thinks for themselves

- Understands why edits work

- Can suggest improvements, angles, or pacing changes

- You’ll work closely with me and the team to refine creatives until they convert.

What We’re Looking For

Required:

- Strong experience editing VSLs, ads, or direct-response style videos

- Excellent storytelling instincts (hooks, pattern breaks, pacing)

- Comfortable editing talking head, screen recordings, and mixed media

- Ability to follow briefs while still thinking creatively

- Good English and clear communication

Nice to Have (Big Plus):

- Understanding of marketing, funnels, or ad performance

- Curiosity about why ads convert, not just how to edit them

We want editors who want to learn marketing, not just timelines and we'll invest in you back.

Growth & Opportunity

This is not a dead-end editing role.

If you perform well:

- You’ll be trained deeper in marketing & creative strategy

- You can progress into a Senior Editor / Head of Editors position

- You’ll join our performance bonus structure which is $500 per winning ad / VSL

Your work directly ties to upside.

Pay & Commitment:

Pay: $1,000/month

Schedule: Full-time, Monday–Friday

Hours: 8 hours per day (but if you want to create more and earn more then that's fine(

Tools: Use any editing software you prefer

This is a long-term role. Please don’t apply if you’re only looking for short-term freelance work.

How to Apply

Send examples of VSLs or ads you’ve edited

Include the word “NERDS” in your subject line so we know you read everything

Start date: ASAP

If you’re hungry to grow, want stability, and care about doing meaningful work that actually performs, I’d love to see your application.

Thanks,
Greg
