Mid Weight Video Editor & Producer (AI & Performance Ads)
Core Compensation: $58,000–$70,000 (Base and Bonus)
Location: Remote in USA
About the Role
PetLab Co. is a leader in the DTC pet supplement market, with 9-figure revenue. We're profitable and growing fast around the world.
In performance marketing, a Video Editor does more than make things look good. Every cut, hook and caption you make exists to stop the scroll, hold attention and drive a purchase. You'll be judged on how your ads perform, not on how cinematic they are.
This is a Mid weight, editing-led role for someone with a proven track record of AI-powered performance ads. You'll produce high volumes of ads for Meta, TikTok and YouTube that are built to convert. You'll mix UGC, creator footage, stock, and AI-generated video, avatars and voiceovers.
You'll work closely with our Creative Strategists, Paid Media, Video Producers, Organic Social and Influencer teams. This isn't a cut-to-brief role. You'll bring your own ideas, write scripts and hooks, and help shape the creative strategy behind ads that scale customer acquisition and revenue.
Who Will You Report Into?
Hi, I'm Michael, Head of Innovation. We're looking for an experienced, fast editor who's obsessed with direct response and has already built a career on AI-powered ads. You'll be a core part of our in-house creative engine, working day to day with industry-leading creative strategists. You'll see exactly how your ads perform, and you'll have a direct impact on how we acquire customers. If you've made hundreds of AI ads that convert and want to do your best work at a 9-figure DTC brand, let's talk.
What You'll be Responsible For:
1. Performance Video Editing – You'll spend most of your week in the timeline, turning briefs and raw footage into ads that convert. This will include:
• Editing short-form video ads for Meta, TikTok and YouTube from briefs supplied by our Creative Strategists • Writing hooks for the first 3 seconds, keeping the pacing tight, and making sure something visual changes every 2–3 seconds to hold attention • Adding captions, text overlays, sound design, music and clear calls-to-action that suit each platform • Cutting UGC, creator, influencer, studio and stock footage into native-feeling ads • Exporting in 9:16, 4:5, 1:1 and 16:9, with files named and organized so media buyers can launch right away • Testing new AI tools to give you that extra edge!
