WANTED! The Worlds Fastest Ad Video Editor

When you apply, please make sure the subject line of your reply is:
"I actually read the instructions"

----------------------------------------

WHO WE ARE

We're DTC LABS — a small startup team with serious experience and drive in e-commerce, paid media, and physical products.

We used to operate as a holding company with multiple brands. Now we're laser-focused on a single brand and we're scaling it to $100M over the next few years.

You'll work directly with the founders. No middle managers, no waiting on permission. Just briefs, edits, feedback, and ship.

----------------------------------------

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Someone who's fast, detail-obsessed, and eager to learn. You take feedback without flinching and apply it the same day. You adapt quickly — we're constantly testing new AI tools and the editors who win here are the ones who pick them up fastest. Speed matters, but sloppy doesn't ship.

----------------------------------------

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

- Edit 3-4 short-form UGC-style ads per day (15-90 sec) for Meta and TikTok
- Edit 1 long-form video (VSL, infomercial, testimonial — 3-7 min) every 2-3 days
- Source supporting clips from TikTok, YouTube, and stock libraries
- Use the latest AI tools (we'll provide training — we're at the edge of what AI can do for editing)
- Implement revision feedback within the same day
- Track your work in Notion and upload finals to ---------- c using our naming convention

----------------------------------------

QUALIFICATIONS

- Proficient in Premiere Pro and CapCut (we use CapCut across the company)
- 2+ years editing experience, ideally with paid social
- Strong written English
- Portfolio showing UGC-style ads OR long-form VSLs (ideally both)
- Available for 3-hour daily overlap with 15:00-18:00 Europe/Athens time

----------------------------------------

COMPENSATION AND GROWTH

Base: Starting from $1,300 USD/month (40 hrs/week)
Bonuses: Down the line, $500+/month in performance bonuses for ads that hit KPIs

Growth path:
- Top performers grow into senior and lead roles as the company scales
- We promote from within. Always.

SUCCESSFUL VIDEO EDITOR PERSONALITY PROFILE

You care more about whether the ad converts than whether it wins a design award. You break your head brainstorming hooks that force people to stop scrolling — not the lazy kind, the kind that actually work. You take blunt feedback without flinching, ship fast, and iterate faster. Tight deadlines energize you instead of stressing you out.

----------------------------------------

MAKE SURE YOU'RE COMFORTABLE WITH...

- Remote working: This is a remote (work-from-home) position. If you don't have a quiet environment with reliable power and internet, this isn't the right role.
- 30-day trial period: All offers start with a 30-day trial. If you're in a comfortable job, don't quit unless you're confident in your ability to perform.
- Fast revision cycles: Sometimes 3 rounds in a day. Constructive feedback comes directly and quickly.
- Output-only environment: We don't care about hours — we care about output. This is a demanding environment where what you ship is what counts.
- Camera on for our weekly call.

----------------------------------------

OUR VALUES

1. COMMUNICATION AND FEEDBACK
Clear and fast. You implement specific feedback within hours, not days. We don't bury problems; we surface them.

2. SPEED
Deadlines are tight, priorities shift, urgency is the default. We'd rather ship and iterate than polish and miss the window — but speed without craft is just sloppy, and sloppy doesn't ship.

3. PERFORMANCE
Aesthetics don't pay; conversions do. Every cut is a decision in service of a metric.

----------------------------------------
