Video Editor for High Retention Direct Response Ads

We’re looking for a video editor who knows how to create fast-paced, high-retention ad creatives for both short-form and longer-form videos up to 3 minutes.

Ideally, you’ve worked on direct response ads before and understand what actually matters in ad creative editing like building strong hooks, keeping attention, and helping move the viewer towards clicking through.

We’re also looking for someone who is comfortable using AI tools as part of the creative process, including things like AI avatars, AI-generated b-roll, and other AI-assisted workflows that can help improve speed and creative output.

You’d be a great fit if you:

* Have experience editing short-form ad videos
* Can also edit longer-form ads up to around 3 minutes
* Understand direct response marketing
* Know how to structure videos for retention
* Can make videos feel dynamic with quick cuts, captions, b-roll, callouts, zooms, and pattern interrupts
* Understand how the first few seconds can make or break a video
* Are comfortable using AI tools to support the editing and creative process

Bonus points if you have experience with:

* AI avatars
* Creating AI-generated b-roll
* AI-assisted video workflows
* UGC ads
* Ecommerce ads
* VSL-style creatives
* Health, beauty, or direct response offers

What we need:

* Someone who can take raw footage or existing assets and turn them into compelling ad creatives
* Someone who understands hooks, pacing, and how to keep viewers engaged
* Someone who can produce multiple variations and test different angles when needed
* Someone who can bring new ideas to the table using both traditional editing and AI-assisted creative workflows

Compensation:
We’re willing to pay well for the right person, especially if you have strong direct response experience and can consistently deliver high quality work. We also offer performance-based bonuses for creatives that perform well.

To apply, please send:

* A short intro
* Your portfolio
* Samples of ad creatives you’ve edited
* Any examples of direct response work
* Examples of any AI avatar, AI b-roll, or AI-assisted creative work you’ve done
* A few sentences on how you approach hooks and retention
* Your preferred editing software and AI tools
* Your availability

Please start your application with the word "DR". Applications that do not include this may not be reviewed.

We’re looking for someone who really understands ad creative and performance, not just basic video editing.
