About This Role: We are hiring a Video Editor for an eCommerce brand in the healthcare apparel industry. You will create 8–12 short-form videos per week for Meta using customer content, product footage, and AI-generated visuals, with strong opening hooks and engaging storytelling that entertain, inform, keep viewers watching, and drive sales.

Key Responsibilities:

• Create short-form video ads: Edit real customer content and product footage into engaging, well-paced videos for Meta, including organic-style, direct response, and user-generated content (UGC) formats. • Build strong hooks and maintain viewer attention: Make the first 1–3 seconds compelling, especially through AI-generated content. Use captions, text overlays, sound, transitions, and motion graphics to keep viewers engaged. • Produce complete AI videos: Create AI UGC and AI animation ads from start to finish, including writing prompts, generating content, choosing the best takes, and editing the final video. • Create realistic AI supporting footage: Generate b-roll, such as a nurse walking through a ward or a close-up of socks being pulled on, to fill gaps in edits. Match the lighting and tone of real footage and deliver usable clips within hours. • Deliver consistent, on-brand work: Complete 8–12 finished videos per week, follow creative briefs independently, communicate clearly, and meet deadlines while managing multiple projects. • Apply relevant video trends: Research TikTok, Reels, and the Meta Ad Library, and bring effective hooks and formats to the team while keeping up with platform requirements.

Software/Platforms/Tools:

• CapCut and at least one professional video editor: Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut Pro • AI video and image tools such as Kling, Veo, Higgsfield, Runway, Midjourney, Nano Banana, or similar • Meta, TikTok, Instagram Reels, and the Meta Ad Library for creative research • ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini for ideas, scripts, and captions; Canva or similar for quick graphics (nice to have)
