AI Video Editor- Performance Ads

We're hiring an AI Video Editor (Performance ) to build high-performing UGC-style ad creatives at scale. This is not a traditional editing role. We're looking for someone who deeply understands performance creatives for Meta, knows what makes users stop scrolling, and can leverage AI-first video workflows to create, iterate, and optimize winning ad creatives faster. You'll work closely with the Growth and creative team to produce UGC-style performance ads using AI tools, experiment with new creative formats, and help build scalable AI-led content systems.

This role is ideal for someone who:

• Understands UGC ad psychology and conversion-focused storytelling
• Has strong experience creating Meta-first performance creatives
• Is deeply hands-on with AI video creation/editing tools
• Thinks in hooks, retention curves, and conversion metrics
• Moves fast and thrives on experimentation.

What You'll Do

• Create and edit high-performing UGC-style ad creatives using AI tools
• You will own end-to-end creative execution for performance ads - from interpreting briefs to generating, editing, iterating, and optimizing creatives using AI-native workflows.
• Turn performance insights into new creative iterations
• Rapidly test hooks, pacing, delivery styles, and visual formats
• Optimize creatives based on CTR, hook rate, hold rate, and CAC
• Build repeatable prompt systems and AI workflows for scale
• Experiment with moonshot creative concepts and new AI capabilities

What You Bring

• 2-4 years of experience in performance video editing / creative production
• Strong understanding of Meta ad creative best practices
• Hands-on expertise with AI video models (Seedance 2.0 , Veo3.1, Nano Banana Pro, Cling 3.0, Higgsfield, Claude)
• Proven experience creating UGC / direct-response ad creatives
• Strong creative judgment around hooks, retention, and pacing
• Ability to move fast, iterate quickly, and work data-first
