Social Ad Video Editor (Short-form, TikTok & Meta)

Fast‑growing direct‑to‑consumer brand in the health & wellness space is seeking a talented Video Editor to transform user‑ and creator‑generated content (UGC / CGC) into highly engaging, high‑performing short‑form ad creatives for platforms such as TikTok and Meta.

Responsibilities

  • Edit long‑form user / creator content into second‑ad creatives for paid media campaigns.
  • Identify strong hooks and key value propositions within the first few seconds of footage.
  • Apply text overlays, motion graphics, and dynamic transitions to increase retention and impact.
  • Stay on top of evolving platform trends and storytelling techniques for short‑form video on TikTok, Instagram and Facebook.
  • Use performance feedback to iterate and refine creatives regularly.
  • Work closely with marketing and media buying teams to understand KPIs, performance data and creative testing strategies.
  • Adjust pacing, visuals and messaging based on A / B testing outcomes and audience behavior insights.
  • Proactively suggest creative variations to improve return on ad spend (ROAS).
  • Partner with UGC and influencer teams to repurpose raw footage into strategic marketing assets.
  • Coordinate with graphic designers to align video output with branding, templates and visual identity.
  • Contribute to building a library of evergreen and campaign‑specific ad creatives.

Qualifications

  • 2+ years of video editing experience, ideally in a performance marketing or eCommerce setting.
  • Strong ability to repurpose long‑form CGC / UGC into high‑converting short‑form content.
  • Deep understanding of short‑form video trends, pacing and structure for social platforms.
  • Skilled in Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, CapCut or equivalent software.
  • Proven track record of producing high‑engagement video ads.
  • Familiarity with performance metrics and creative testing methodologies.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast‑moving, content‑heavy production cycle.
  • Compelling portfolio demonstrating editing expertise in paid media or branded short‑form video.
