Video Editor (UGC) - 19288

Location: Remote (Preferred for timezone overlap with UK)
Type: Full-Time (Independent Contractor)
 

We are looking for a UGC Video Editor who thrives in a performance marketing environment—someone who can produce high-volume, scrappy, conversion-driven content rather than polished brand films.

You will work alongside a UK-based team to create short-form video ads that drive measurable results across paid channels. This role is ideal for an editor who understands how to turn raw footage into engaging, high-converting creatives quickly and efficiently.

This is not a traditional cinematic editing role. Instead, success in this position comes from speed, iteration, and performance mindset.

• Edit short-form UGC-style videos for paid social (Meta, TikTok, etc.)
• Turn raw footage into engaging, conversion-focused ad creatives
• Produce both:
  • Lo-fi, fast-turnaround edits (core focus)
  • Occasional higher-production edits when needed
• Incorporate hooks, captions, pacing, and storytelling optimized for performance

• Understand what makes ads convert, not just look good
• Iterate on creatives based on performance feedback
• Apply best practices for:
  • Hook optimization (first 3 seconds)
  • Retention pacing
  • Clear messaging and CTAs

• Work in 2-week sprint cycles with structured briefs
• Deliver approximately:
  • ~10 briefs per sprint (mix of low and higher production)
• Manage time effectively across:
  • ~0.5–1 day for scrappy edits
  • ~2 days for higher production pieces
• Maintain consistency, organization, and timely delivery

• Join team meetings with UK-based stakeholders (reasonable timezone overlap required)
• Collaborate with creative and marketing teams on briefs and iterations
• Take feedback quickly and apply changes efficiently

• Proven experience editing UGC-style or performance marketing video content
• Strong understanding of paid social creative best practices
• Ability to produce high-volume output without sacrificing effectiveness
• Comfortable working with lo-fi, fast-paced content styles

• Proficiency in tools such as:
  • Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, CapCut, or similar
• Experience with:
  • Subtitles, motion graphics, and quick visual hooks
  • AI tools for editing or content enhancement (nice to have)

• Scrappy, fast, and highly execution-oriented
• Performance-driven (cares about results, not just aesthetics)
• Strong attention to detail and organization
• Comfortable working in structured sprint environments
• Open to feedback and rapid iteration

• Experience editing for DTC or health/wellness brands
• Familiarity with ad testing frameworks and creative iteration cycles
• Understanding of UGC creator workflows and formats

• Fully remote, async-friendly with some scheduled collaboration
• Long-term opportunity for high performers
• Fast-paced environment with clear output expectations and structured workflows
• Focus on volume + performance, not perfection

• Join a growing team investing heavily in performance-driven creative
• Opportunity to own a critical function in paid media growth
• Work on content that directly impacts revenue and scaling
• Clear path to long-term engagement and expansion
