If you understand what video hooks work, why pacing matters, and how editing decisions move performance metrics, this role was built for you.
This is not an execution role. You won't be handed timestamps or told what footage to pull. You'll read a brief, make strong editorial calls, and ship high-performing paid social creatives at volume across Meta and TikTok.
The creative strategists own the concept and messaging. You own the pacing, footage selection, hook strength, platform feel, and variations fast enough to fuel aggressive testing cycles.
This is a fully remote, full-time role.
WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU
- Work with fast-growing DTC brands: Join ecommerce teams scaling aggressively through paid social advertising
- Multiple immediate openings: Get matched with brands actively looking for editors right now
- Creative ownership: Make real editorial decisions instead of acting as a production executor
- Performance-focused environments: Work on ads designed specifically for testing, iteration, and measurable results
- AI-driven workflows: Use modern AI tools for voiceovers, captioning, B-roll generation, and production acceleration
- Growth opportunities: Potential to evolve into Senior Editor, Creative Strategist, or leadership roles as the brands continue scaling
- Remote flexibility: Fully remote opportunities focused on output and execution rather than micromanagement
