Direct Response Video Editor

????Role Overview

We’re seeking a talented A-Player Direct Response Video Editor who delivers fast-paced, scroll-stopping ads, follows proven DR principles and platform compliance and thrives in a fast-moving, performance driven environment with direct feedback.

You’ll start with a test period during which you’ll work on several test projects, and once you’ve proven your skills, transition into a steady flow of weekly projects or full-time role.

???? What You'll Do

* Create long form (3-10 minutes) and short form (1-3 minutes) video ads using AI-creators, real spokespersons, B-roll and viral / real online footage
* Follow our detailed guidelines for transitions, B-roll footage, special effects etc.
* Find and craft scroll-stopping, pattern-interrupt scroll stoppers to boots CTRs (weird images, bold visuals, etc.)
* Iterate quickly on hooks / scroll stoppers for winning video ads
* Use AI software to create videos or part of videos
* Find and test new AI tools for video production
* Create multilingual versions (FR, DE, NL, EN, etc.)
* Do competitor research to find top performing Direct Response video ads and stay on top of current trends
* Own your work end-to-end and suggest creative improvements
* Hit agreed weekly output and deadlines reliably
* Nice to have: Motion-graphics skills for simple animated overlays and animations


???? Who We’re Looking For

* Relentless Ownership: You treat each project as your own brand—no excuses, just results.
* Performance-Driven: Your work isn’t “done” until it moves the needle. You understand that every edit impacts CTR, watch-time, and ROI, and you optimize accordingly.
* High Hit-Rate: You consistently deliver videos that outperform benchmarks. Misses are rare after the first feedback loops, and you learn swiftly from feedback to improve.
* Proactive Problem-Solving: You spot creative and technical improvements before we ask, suggesting new hooks, pacing tweaks, or effects to level up our ads.
* Collaborative Yet Autonomous: You thrive in async workflows—clear, timely communication via text or Loom - while owning your deliverables end-to-end.
* Growth Mindset: You welcome the test phase as a proving ground, embrace feedback wholeheartedly, and turn critiques into higher-impact edits.
* You must be available close to full-time after the testing phase. We want someone who can focus and commit to our work.

If you live by these standards, you’re the A-player we’re looking for.
