Senior DTC Performance Video Editor — AI Ads — Hard Requirements (Read Before Applying)

We're a fast-scaling US DTC health brand on the path to 8 figures, hiring a full-time performance video editor to own ad creative.
We currently scale at $30–50k/day on Meta, and creative output is our growth bottleneck.

This is a senior, direct-response, conversion-first seat. We are NOT hiring a generalist editor.

?? READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. APPLICATIONS THAT DO NOT MATCH WILL BE REJECTED INSTANTLY ??
You should NOT apply if:


? You have never edited a paid Meta ad for a DTC ecommerce brand.

? Your creative has had less than $100,000 USD in ad spend tested behind it (collective spend across all the ads you've edited — own money, or money the brand or agency spent running your ads).

? You have not worked with a 7–9 figure DTC brand directly, OR an agency that serves 7–9 figure DTC brands.

? You are applying to "explore opportunities" or "learn the industry." This role is for senior operators, not learners.

? You cannot show a portfolio of actual DTC Meta ads (UGC ads, hooks, B-rolls, exclamation videos, VSLs).

If any of the above describes you, please do not apply. We will reject your application within seconds and it will waste both our time.

You SHOULD apply if:

? You have edited DTC Meta direct-response ads as your primary role for at least 2 years.

? The ads you've personally edited have had $100,000+ in collective ad spend tested behind them.

? You've worked at a 7–9 figure DTC brand OR an agency serving 7–9 figure DTC brands.

? You are fluent in AI video tools — Veo3, Sora, HeyGen, Higgsfield, Runway.

? You think in conversions, not "cool transitions."

? Health/wellness brand experience is a strong bonus (call this out if you have it).


What you'll do:

— Cut 6-8 ad concepts per week from briefs
— Iterate fast on winning ads, kill what isn't working
— Work directly with copywriters on direct-response concepts
— Use AI video tools alongside traditional UGC editing workflows
— Keep source files clean and organized
— Run weekly performance analysis on your ads against KPIs

Must already be strong at:

— CapCut, Premiere, After Effects
— DTC ad editing for Meta (not YouTube, not cinematic)
— UGC and direct-response formats specifically
— AI video tools: Veo3, Sora, HeyGen, Higgsfield, Runway

Non-negotiables:

— Fast and responsive — communication is the #1 thing
— Reliable on deadlines, no chasing
— Organized with files and process
— Coachable under direct, no-fluff feedback
— Comfortable in a high-accountability environment


???? HOW TO APPLY (REQUIRED — applications missing any item will be auto-rejected) ????

To prove you've read this post and that you actually have the experience, your application MUST include ALL FOUR items below. Generic cover letters will be ignored.

1. Start your application with the exact phrase: "DTC DR Ready" (this is a comprehension check — applicants who skip this clearly didn't read the post)

2. Link to the best DTC Meta direct-response ad you have personally edited in the last 90 days (Google Drive, Vimeo, ---------- , or YouTube unlisted — make sure it's accessible)

3. A clear $ figure: total ad spend that has been tested behind ads YOU have personally edited (example: "~$2.5M across 3 brands" or "$450k across one supplement brand")

4. A short paragraph (3–5 sentences) breaking down WHY that ad converted — what the hook did in the first 2 seconds, why the structure worked, where the emotional pivot landed, and what made the call-to-action close

What we offer:

— $2,000-$3,000 USD/month base salary (based on your experience)

— Uncapped performance bonus on every winning ad (structure discussed on call)

— Remote, work from anywhere in the Philippines

— Long-term role with growth path — we want to bring you up with the brand

— A founding team that moves fast, scales fast, and respects craft


We hire fast and we onboard fast. The right person will be moved through to a paid trial week within 1-2 days.

Cheers!
