Video Editor - Short-Form Facebook/Instagram Ads

We're a US-based marketing agency that runs paid Facebook and Instagram ads for home service businesses (landscapers, hardscapers, plumbers, electricians). We need a
dedicated video editor to create 15-30 second ad creatives on a daily basis.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:
- Edit short-form video ads (15s and 30s) from raw iPhone footage our clients send us
- Add text overlays, subtitles, transitions, and music
- Create photo slideshow ads from client work photos (Ken Burns effect + text + music)
- Export in 9:16 (Reels/Stories), 1:1 (Feed), and 4:5 (Feed) formats
- Follow brand templates we provide (colors, fonts, CTA placement)
- Turnaround: most edits delivered same-day or next morning

WHAT WE PROVIDE:
- Raw footage and photos from our clients
- Ad copy (headlines, primary text, CTAs) already written
- Brand guidelines per client (colors, logo, fonts)
- CapCut/Canva templates to start from
- Clear feedback with screen recordings, not guessing

TOOLS YOU SHOULD KNOW (at least 2):
- CapCut (preferred for short-form)
- Adobe Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve
- Canva Video
- After Effects (nice to have, not required)

VOLUME:
- Starting at 10-15 ads per week across 3-4 clients
- Scaling to 20-30 ads per week as we onboard more clients
- Each ad is a short edit (15-30 sec), not long-form content

WHAT MAKES YOU STAND OUT:
- You've edited Facebook or TikTok ads before (show me in your portfolio)
- You understand scroll-stopping hooks (big text in the first 2 seconds)
- You can match a brand's visual style from a reference screenshot
- You're fast and don't need hand-holding on basic edits
- You communicate proactively when something is unclear

TO APPLY:
- Send your portfolio or 3 examples of short-form ad edits you've done
- Record a 2-minute Loom showing how you'd edit a raw 30-second iPhone clip into a Facebook ad
- Tell me your typical turnaround time for a 15-second ad edit

This is a long-term position. We want someone who grows with us as we scale from 4 clients to 20+.
