E-commerce/DTC Video Editor - For Ads (Full Time)

Performance-focused · AI-augmented · Long-term

We run paid media at scale for DTC and e-commerce brands across European markets — and we're looking for an editor who gets the why behind every cut, not just the how.

This isn't a role for someone who waits for a brief and assembles clips. We need someone who can watch raw footage and know instinctively which B-roll makes the hook land — who understands that the wrong cutaway kills a conversion and the right one doubles watch time. If you've ever paused an ad you liked just to reverse-engineer why it worked, keep reading.

The basics


Type: Full-time
Location: Remote
Compensation: 900–1,100 USD/month
Start: ASAP
Output: 3–4 finished edits per day


What you'll own


Edit short-form ad creative for Meta and TikTok — fast, punchy, conversion-oriented
Choose and sequence B-roll with intent — every clip serves the hook, reinforces the claim, or deepens the emotional pull
Build visual hooks that stop the scroll — you know the first 1–2 seconds are the entire game
Cut UGC, founder, and testimonial footage into structured formats (Hook ? Problem ? Mechanism ? CTA)
Generate AI video assets in Higgsfield and similar tools — realistic, on-brand footage that blends seamlessly with real clips
Produce modular assets that repurpose cleanly across placements and audiences


Non-negotiables

Proven DTC/e-commerce ad editing. You've edited ads that actually ran on Meta or TikTok for real brands. You understand pacing curves, attention drop-off, and how to build an edit around a conversion goal — not just aesthetics.

Intentional B-roll selection. You don't fill gaps, you amplify the script. You know when a reaction shot beats a product shot, and when on-screen text does more work than either.

Visual hook creation. You think visually first. You can concept and execute an opening that creates immediate pattern interruption — without leaning on the script to carry it.

Higgsfield + AI fluency. You're already comfortable prompting and generating realistic AI video, and you know how to make Higgsfield output that doesn't read as AI. We provide advanced internal training — but you need a real foundation to build on.

Strong English comprehension. Most scripts and voiceovers are in English. You need to catch nuance, not just words, so your edit rhythm matches what's being said and why.

Comfortable in Notion. We run briefs, trackers, and feedback through Notion. You don't need to be a power user, but you need to work inside it day to day without friction.

Nice to have


VSL or long-form ad formats for cold traffic
Direct response frameworks (AIDA, PAS, and similar)
Other AI video tools beyond Higgsfield (Kling, Runway, Pika)
Working knowledge of Meta ad structure — formats, ratios, placements


Who fits here


You think like a marketer, not just a creative — you care about what converts
You bring ideas and push back on a brief when you see a better angle
You ship final-ready work, not "almost there"
Fast iteration energizes you; it doesn't slow you down
You're driven and you work hard — you take pride in output and don't need to be chased
You want to be part of a team, not a solo freelancer — you communicate, share wins, and lift the people around you
You're honest and loyal — we'd rather hear the hard truth early than a polished excuse late, and we build long-term with people who do the same


What we offer

This is a long-term seat, not a gig. We invest in the people who commit to us:


Access to a premium AI tool stack — HeyGen, Higgsfield, ElevenLabs, and more, all on us, so you're never limited by what you can produce
Advanced internal training on our editing systems, AI workflows, and direct response frameworks — you'll get better at this here than almost anywhere else
A real growth path — clear room to take on more ownership, scope, and responsibility as you prove yourself
A team that values honesty and loyalty — we're direct with each other, we back the people who back us, and we keep the people who grow with us


How to apply

Read this part carefully — applications without a portfolio won't be reviewed.


Portfolio. Link 3–5 ad edits you're proud of. DTC/e-commerce strongly preferred. If something ran and performed, tell us the result.
Your workflow. Walk us through how you go from brief to final cut. What do you ask for? What do you need? How do you handle unclear direction?
Your AI work. Include at least one example where you generated or integrated AI video. Higgsfield examples are a bonus.
Logistics. Your availability and timezone.


The trial task

This role comes with a paid-style trial task — and it's where you really win it. If you're hungry for this, don't wait to be asked: complete it, edit the result, and send it in with your application.

If the edit is strong, we'll hire you on the spot. This is your chance to show us — not tell us — that you're the editor we're describing.
