Performance Video Editor

**Performance Video Editor**

**Remote — Australia (Melbourne-based team) | Full-time, 38 hours/week AEST**

### **Not all editors make ads. The best ones make blinds look like the most exciting thing on the feed.**

We're 5 Minute Blinds. We sell custom-made blinds and curtains that Australians can measure, order, and install themselves in minutes, not weeks. We don't sell window coverings. We sell **taste**.

We're looking for a Performance Video Editor who can turn fabric, light, and transformation into scroll-stopping creative that actually drives sales.

About Us

We're a Melbourne-based DTC brand reshaping how Australians buy window furnishings. Custom-made, expertly crafted right here in Australia, designed to be installed by anyone with a cordless drill.

We're growing fast across Meta, TikTok, Google, and Pinterest. Every room transformation, install demo, and fabric close-up is an opportunity to win a customer — and we need an editor who treats it that way.

The Role

This isn't a "make it look pretty" editing role. You'll sit at the intersection of creative and conversion, cutting video that stops

thumbs mid-scroll, drives new customer acquisition, and helps us achieve our mission of becoming the experts in the window furnishings industry.

You'll work directly with our performance marketing team, turning campaign data into creative decisions and shipping new ad variants at the pace performance media demands.

What You'll Actually Do

Turn performance data into visual strategy by working with the paid media team to understand what's converting (and what isn't), then design edits that double down on what works

Edit conversion-focused video across Meta, TikTok, Reels, YouTube, Shorts, Pinterest, and Google — optimised for each platform's aspect ratios, sound conventions, and viewer behaviour

Master the 3-second hook — our products are visual, but the feed requires virality. You'll craft openings that earn the next 30 seconds

Rapidly iterate and A/B test design concepts based on performance data and real-time campaign feedback

Design scroll-stopping videos and motion graphics that capture attention within 3 seconds and drive engagement

Participate in creative reviews to analyse top-performing creative elements and extract replicable design principles

Multiply creative output through AI tools — leverage cutting-edge AI technologies to enhance asset generation and production efficiency

Meet performance benchmarks including click-through rates, engagement rates, and conversion metrics across all campaigns

Deliver assets on deadline while maintaining quality standards and organised documentation systems


What Sets You Apart

Proven experience — Minimum of 2–3 years in a similar role. You've got a strong grasp of design fundamentals and know your way around Adobe Creative Cloud.

You analyse data before designing — You don't just want to know what looks good; you want to know what converts and why

You've mastered rapid iteration — You can produce multiple high-quality variants quickly, not precious about your work

You understand the psychology behind conversions — You know why certain visuals trigger action and how to implement those principles

You can translate performance metrics into design decisions — CTR, Hook Rate & CVR aren't just acronyms to you; they're design briefs

You think like a growth marketer, not just a designer — You care about business outcomes, not just aesthetics

You make decisions fast — You're comfortable with speed, can manage multiple projects, and deliver quality under tight deadlines
