The listing
About Us
We're a company running 7–8 figure DTC brand portfolios operating across the US, Malaysia, and the Philippines. Our growth runs through paid social - Meta and TikTok at a serious scale, which means video is at the center of everything we do. We produce a high volume of UGC-style and direct-response ad creative, and we need editors who can keep up without the output quality slipping.
This isn't a passion project or a content agency. The videos we edit run as paid ads, and the numbers tell us immediately what's working and what isn't. If you're the kind of editor who gets better with every round of feedback and wants to understand why something performs, not just how it looks, this is the environment for you.
We operate across multiple brands and categories, which means if needed, our editors must have the ability to switch between brand voices and audience types without losing quality or pace.
The Role
You'll be editing video content primarily for paid social - UGC ads, direct-response creatives, product-focused content, AI visuals generation, and repurposed organic clips across Meta and TikTok. You'll work from briefs and raw footage provided by our creative strategists and UGC creators, and you'll be expected to turn around polished, platform-ready ads at a reliable pace.
This is a high-output, high-feedback role. You'll be part of a structured creative production workflow, briefs, revisions, performance reviews and the feedback you get will be based on how the content actually performs, not just how it looks.
What You'll Be Doing
Core Editing
• Editing UGC-style and direct-response video ads from raw footage – fast edits [minimum 1.5sec-2 seconds frame changes on visuals], aggressive visuals, clean cuts when needed, strong pacing, and hooks that don't lose the viewer in the first three seconds
• Applying motion graphics, captions, text overlays, sound design, and music to produce platform-ready content across Meta and TikTok
• Working from creative briefs and script references you follow the direction but you also bring your eye to it
• Producing multiple versions of the same concept (hook tests, CTA variations, format cuts) efficiently
Workflow & Collaboration
• Receiving and interpreting briefs from creative strategists - asking smart questions upfront rather than going back and forth after the first cut
• Submitting first cuts on time and responding to revision notes quickly and accurately
• Staying current on UGC trends, editing styles, and platform-native formats and flagging when you see something worth testing
• Keeping your project files, exports, and asset folders organized according to team SOPs
• Supporting the team in repurposing high-performing content into new formats when needed
Requirements
What We're Looking For
• A strong portfolio of edited video ads - UGC, direct-response, or DTC brand content; we want to see cuts that are designed to perform, not just look good
• Proficiency in Premiere Pro and/or CapCut - you can work fast in whichever tool the project calls for
• Strong sense of pacing - you know when a cut is too slow, when a hook is burying itself, and when to trim
• Understanding of how paid social video works: hook structure, attention retention, CTA placement, and format differences between Meta and TikTok
• Reliable output - you can handle multiple concurrent edits and hit deadlines consistently
• Receptive to feedback, revision rounds are part of the job; taking notes personally isn't
Strong Advantages
• Experience editing DTC, beauty, wellness, or lifestyle brand content
• Motion graphics skills , text animations, transitions, lower thirds that go beyond basic templates
• Experience with AI-assisted editing tools that improve turnaround without sacrificing quality
• Understanding of what makes a winning ad not just technically clean editing, but structurally effective storytelling
• Familiarity with the UGC content model and how to make creator footage feel polished without losing authenticity
Instant No's
• Your portfolio is full of cinematic, long-form, or brand film content with no paid social or direct-response work we're not doing that here
• You need heavy direction on every edit
• You treat revision notes as optional suggestions - revisions exist to make the content perform better, and accuracy matters
• You can't sustain output at volume - this is a high-output environment and pace is part of the job
Benefits
Compensation & Benefits
• Competitive monthly rate (contractor) based on experience and portfolio quality
• Clear growth path: Graphic Designer → Senior Graphic Designer

• Learning & development budget
• Access to winning ad references and a structured feedback system that actually makes you better
• Exposure to high-volume, multi-market DTC creative production at real scale
• Weekly performance reviews with the Creative Director
📌 We produce a lot of content and we move fast. If you thrive in a structured creative environment where your work gets tested against real numbers and you want to get genuinely better at your craft this is a strong place to be.
