Mid/senior AI Video Editor

Video Editor (Paid Ads) | Fully Remote | €1,600+/month + performance bonuses

MID/SENIOR AI VIDEO EDITOR

We’re looking for a Mid/Senior AI Video Editor who can take ownership of a creative and turn it into an ad that actually performs.

Not just something visually nice. Not just “aesthetic.” And definitely not someone who needs to be told what to do at every step.

You should understand why an ad works, why it doesn’t, and what needs to change to make it better.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

WHAT MAKES THIS ROLE DIFFERENT?

Most of what we produce is generated, not filmed.

AI UGC. AI avatars. AI animation. AI voice. AI B-roll.

Real actors and traditional shoots are the exception, not the default.

We’re looking for someone who can combine strong editing fundamentals, performance marketing thinking, creative judgment, and AI tools to produce ads that feel real, relatable, and scroll-stopping.

If that sounds exciting rather than overwhelming, keep reading.

WHAT YOU’LL ACTUALLY BE DOING

• Create AI UGC — choosing the right environments, voices, delivery, and visual style for the target audience.
• Build AI talking heads that actually feel human — casting the face, voice, personality, movement, and delivery instead of settling for the first acceptable generation.
• Generate realistic, organic-looking AI B-roll, product demonstrations, animations, and motion graphics instead of relying on generic stock footage.
• Prompt, re-prompt, and problem-solve until AI output looks believable enough to ship — not simply “good enough for AI.”
• Edit short-form and long-form performance ads, including talking heads, VSLs, UGC, animation-heavy concepts, and hybrid formats.
• Make independent creative decisions when something in the brief, script, or generated material doesn’t work visually.
• Work closely with Creative Directors and understand the strategy behind the creative instead of blindly following instructions.
• Use hooks, pacing, sound design, captions, B-roll, and visual structure intentionally to improve retention and conversion.
• Review your own work critically and catch problems before someone else has to point them out.
• Test new AI models, tools, and workflows — and turn successful experiments into repeatable processes.
• Deliver consistently and on time without sacrificing quality.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

WHAT WE EXPECT FROM A SENIOR

• Strong video editing fundamentals
• Ability to work independently without constant direction or detailed feedback.
• Strong creative judgment. You should immediately notice when an avatar looks generic, a voice feels lifeless, B-roll doesn’t match, pacing feels weak, or an AI generation looks uncanny.
• Understanding of performance marketing fundamentals — hooks, retention, pain points.
• Ability to explain why a creative works or doesn’t work, rather than simply whether you like it.
• Strong Premiere Pro skills. After Effects and other creative tools are a big plus.
• Hands-on experience with AI image, video, and voice generation — and the ability to adapt quickly as better models appear.
• Ability to create scroll-stopping first 1–3 seconds and understand how important the opening is to the entire ad.
• Strong sense of pacing, sound design, and storytelling.
• High quality standards. You don’t ship something just because the AI technically generated it successfully.
• Speed and consistency without becoming careless.
• Clear communication and the ability to raise problems early.
• Ownership. If something looks bad, you fix it. If something doesn’t make sense, you ask. If you see an opportunity to improve the creative, you act on it.

BONUS POINTS IF YOU

• Have worked specifically with DTC, performance marketing, or paid social advertising.
• Understand how Creative Directors and Media Buyers evaluate and iterate ads based on performance.
• Can study winning competitor creatives
