We’re a small digital agency based in California, USA that designs Shopify sites, Meta ads, and emails for direct-to-consumer ecommerce brands.

We work with food, wellness, and lifestyle brands — helping them tell better stories through clean design and thoughtful creative.

We’re looking for a video editor who can clip and assemble short ads from the footage we already have — UGC, influencer clips, and brand videos. No shooting required.
You’ll take the raw assets and turn them into shortads that grab attention fast and look on-brand.

This isn’t about flashy effects or heavy motion design. It’s about knowing how to find the right moments in the footage, match them with music, and build pacing that feels natural and scroll-stopping.

You’ll collaborate directly with our creative team and help turn concepts and scripts into high-performing ad variations for Meta and TikTok.

What You’ll Do

  • Edit short ads (6–120 seconds) for Meta, TikTok, and Reels
  • Select the best hooks, trim videos, add captions, text overlays, and background music
  • Use tools like CapCut, Descript, or Canva
  • Keep pacing tight, visuals engaging, and branding clean
  • Export in multiple aspect ratios (9:16, 1:1)
  • Organize source clips in shared folders and Notion

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong English comprehension — you’ll need to follow briefs, understand tone, and add on-screen text accurately
  • Solid grasp of storytelling and pacing — knows how to make a clip feel right
  • Comfortable using tools like CapCut, Descript, Canva, or Premiere
  • Understands modern ad formats and what performs on Meta or TikTok
  • Reliable, organized, and great at async communication (email, Loom, Notion)
  • Optional but nice: basic design or typography sense for captions and on-screen text

Why You’ll Like Working With Us

  • Freelance / hourly
  • Roughly 5–10 edits per month to start, potential for more
  • Fully remote role — no meetings, flexible hours.
  • Rate DOE (typically $15–25/hr USD depending on skill and experience)
  • No meetings, flexible schedule — work when you want, deliver when ready
  • Consistent flow of interesting projects from growing DTC brands
  • Creative freedom to test ideas, pacing, and music styles
  • Direct feedback, clear briefs, and realistic expectations
  • Small, tight-knit team that values communication and autonomy
