You turn raw UGC into high-converting direct response ads that scale across paid channels. The role is fully remote, requires fluent English and 3+ years of experience.

Key responsibilities

• Work autonomously, meeting deadlines without frequent check-ins, and keep proactive communication with the founders and executive team
• Learn new tools and editing techniques quickly as social media trends evolve
• Troubleshoot underperforming campaigns by testing different edits, structures and hooks

Required profile

• 3+ years of experience, including proven work on Meta/Facebook paid ads and Meta VSLs (long form is the bulk of what they run)
• Proven experience creating short-form direct-response videos for DTC brands, naming the brands and spend levels behind your work
• Comfortable producing 8 ad briefs per week
• Runs a current AI stack in production, not one tried once
• Delivers volume and quality in the same week without being chased
• Willingness to work overtime or on weekends; excellent cultural fit

Required skills

• Professional video-editing software, with a strong preference for Adobe Premiere Pro
• Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro
• Fluent in English
• Ability to combine storytelling with data-driven feedback

What we offer

• Salary of USD 1,000 - 1,500 per month depending on experience and expertise
• A performance bonus based on a percentage of ad spend
• The chance to shape a fast-growing company and work closely with the founders

Hiring is on a rolling basis, with three stages: application review and screening, a short practical interview, and a culture-fit interview with the founder.
