Summary: Seeking a Senior Direct-Response Video Editor to create high-converting short-form ad creative for a performance marketing agency's diverse clientele. Highlights: 1. Own short-form ad creative for top performance marketing agency 2. Work directly with CEO on high-impact ad campaigns 3. Clear path for growth and leading a creative team SENIOR DIRECT\-RESPONSE VIDEO EDITOR — ADS THAT CONVERT AT SCALE We're hiring one senior video editor to own short\-form ad creative for our agency. You'll cut the ads that drive millions in revenue for our clients across the US, UK, and Canada. This is not an entry\-level role. We're paying top\-of\-market offshore rates because we want top\-of\-market output — ads that produce verifiable, measurable ROAS in cold paid traffic, not pretty videos. If your portfolio includes ad creatives that ran on accounts spending $50K\+ per month and you can prove the results, keep reading. ABOUT US Leads Expert is a performance marketing agency serving aesthetic clinics, medical spas, dental practices, and high\-ticket local service businesses across the US, UK, and Canada. Our clients spend $5K\-$80K/month on paid ads. Creative is the \#1 lever for their results — which is why we're hiring a senior editor to own it full\-time. You'll work directly with the CEO. No middle layers, no bureaucracy. Your edits will be tested across dozens of ad accounts, and you'll see real performance data on every creative you produce. WHAT YOU'LL BE EDITING 100% short\-form vertical (9:16\) ad creative built to convert cold traffic: * Facebook and Instagram paid ads (15\-60s) — 6\-10 per week * TikTok ads (9\-30s) — 3\-5 per week * Testimonial compilations and case\-study reels (30s\-2min) — 1\-2 per week * VSL\-style talking\-head ads with B\-roll overlays — weekly * Organic Reels designed to convert, not just go viral — weekly * Founder content for our CEO and client brands Our editing style is direct\-response — the visual school Alex Hormozi popularized and IAG Media, Right Hook Digital, and Common Thread refined. Bold word\-by\-word captions with color highlights. Money\-color palettes (yellow, orange, neon green on black). Grid and topographic backgrounds. Animated stat counters. Layered B\-roll. Kinetic typography. Aggressive rhythm tied to the voiceover. Tight hooks. Zero dead air. Every frame earns its place. WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY DO * Cut 8\-12 short\-form ad creatives per week from raw footage we provide * Build caption and motion\-graphic systems that scale across brands without looking templated * Layer in B\-roll, money graphics, dollar counters, location callouts, and animated stats that reinforce the verbal claim frame\-by\-frame * Color\-grade for consistency across each client's brand (we provide LUTs and brand kits) * Mix and master audio cleanly: VO clarity, music ducking, SFX on emphasis beats * Maintain a shared template library in Premiere, After Effects, and CapCut so the team can iterate fast on winners * Spin 5\-15 variants off a winning ad (new hook, new CTA, new opening pattern) within 24\-48 hours * Review weekly ad performance data with the CEO and adjust creative direction accordingly * Over time, train and oversee 1\-2 junior editors as we scale MUST\-HAVES (NON\-NEGOTIABLE) EXPERIENCE * 4\+ years editing direct\-response short\-form ads for paid social (Meta, TikTok, YouTube Shorts). Not weddings. Not vlogs. Not corporate. Performance ads. * At least one of: 2\+ years in\-house or contract at a US/UK/Canada\-based DR or growth agency; OR 2\+ years editing for a D2C/info brand spending $50K\+/month on paid ads; OR worked under a known DR editor or creative director. PORTFOLIO * 10\+ ad creatives you personally edited that ran on live paid campaigns * For at least 3 of those creatives, you can share: the platform and audience it ran to, the ad spend, ROAS, CPL, CPA, or hook rate, and a direct link to the ad in Meta Ad Library or an archived screenshot. * We verify. Inflated claims auto\-disqualify. SOFTWARE * Expert in Adobe Premiere Pro — you can rebuild a 60s ad from scratch in under 4 hours * Expert in Adobe After Effects — motion graphics, kinetic typography, animated logos, custom caption systems * Strong in CapCut Pro for rapid iteration * Working knowledge of DaVinci Resolve for color grading LOGISTICS * Native or near\-native English — fluent enough to catch US/UK/Canadian cultural references and humor in raw founder footage * Fast, reliable internet (100\+ Mbps down, 30\+ up) * High\-spec editing rig: 32GB\+ RAM, dedicated GPU (RTX 3060 or better, or M1 Pro\+), 1TB\+ SSD * 3\+ hours of daily overlap with US Eastern Time for live review sessions * Fluent in Slack, Frame.io, Google Drive, Dropbox, and either ClickUp or Notion STRONGLY PREFERRED * Background in copywriting or performance marketing — you understand WHY a hook works, not just how to make it look polished * Familiarity with Meta and TikTok ad policy (you know which visual cues get accounts flagged) * Direct experience editing for aesthetic, medical, healthcare, dental, or local service verticals * Comfort with AI tools: ElevenLabs, Runway, Pika, Sora, CapCut auto\-caption, Topaz, Adobe Firefly * Personal subscriptions to Storyblocks, Artgrid, or Envato Elements * Sound design instincts — you treat SFX as a conversion lever, not decoration * Have worked on at least one ad creative that crossed $100K in spend AUTO\-REJECT CONDITIONS * Portfolio is mostly wedding, real\-estate, music video, or YouTube vlog work * Captions are auto\-generated CapCut defaults * You cannot name a single direct\-response editor, agency, or brand whose creative you study * You quote a rate above $25/hr in your application (we set rates after portfolio audit and interview, not before) * You do not submit the required Loom walkthrough (see HOW TO APPLY below) * Your portfolio uses generic stock transitions instead of intentional cuts * You list "video editor" as one of 8\+ services you offer (we want a specialist) COMPENSATION AND GROWTH Starting rate: $15\-$25/hr USD ($2,400\-$4,000/month), negotiated with the selected candidate based on portfolio strength, output speed, and verifiable ad\-performance track record. Be ready to explain — with numbers — why you sit at the top or bottom of that range. * 90\-day reviews with raises tied to output quality and ad performance metrics * Performance bonuses: $200\-$500 when a creative you edited becomes a top performer in a client account (defined ROAS or CPL threshold) * Top performers reach $30/hr within 12 months as we expand and you take on junior editors * 15 paid days off per year after 90\-day probation * $500 equipment stipend after 6 months * Software stack provided: Adobe Creative Cloud, Frame.io, Storyblocks (or your stock provider of choice — we reimburse) This is a long\-term role.
