Description:
We’re looking for a Contract Performance Video Editor to support the development and execution of high-performing paid and organic social creative across our marketing channels.
You’ll own the editing, iteration, and optimization of short-form video content and work across Creative Strategy, Growth, and Marketing to deliver high-quality creative that drives engagement, conversion, and business results.
This is a high-ownership, high-impact role for someone who can operate independently, think beyond the brief, and ship high-quality work quickly. You’ll help shape both our creative production function and our broader culture as we grow.
Requirements:
-
Edit conversion-focused video ads for Meta, Google, and YouTube from Creative Strategist briefs and scripts.
-
Cut whitelisted/creator (influencer) footage into platform-native ads that preserve creator authenticity while hitting performance structure.
-
Produce in-house creative ads from internal and stock assets — including hooks, B-roll, motion text, captions, and sound design.
-
Exceptional attention to detail; able to consistently deliver client-ready work with minimal QA, including accurate spelling, grammar, capitalization, asset selection, timing, clip placement, and adherence to brand standards.
-
Build multiple variants per concept (hook tests, length cuts, aspect ratios) to feed the testing roadmap.
-
Iterate quickly against paid performance data, sharpening hooks, pacing, and retention from scroll-stop and hold-rate signals.
-
Maintain platform-native specs and best practices across feed, Reels/Shorts, and in-stream placements.
-
Hold brand consistency — adhere to the Instant Hydration visual system while optimizing for performance.
-
Manage an organized asset library and version control to keep throughput high.
-
Proactively identify and source existing UGC, creator, product, retail, and brand assets from the creative library to execute briefs and maximize content output.
-
Take ownership of creative problem-solving by repurposing existing content into fresh, high-performing advertisements when new footage is unavailable.
-
2+ years editing video for paid social / DTC performance marketing (electrolyte, supplement, wellness, or CPG a plus).
-
Expert in Premiere Pro and/or After Effects (CapCut and Final Cut a plus).
-
A reel demonstrating direct-response ad work — not just brand films — ideally including whitelisted creator content.
-
Strong instinct for hooks, pacing, and retention; you understand why the first three seconds decide everything.
-
Fluency in platform-native formats and specs across Meta, YouTube, and Google.
-
Comfortable working from briefs and treating performance data as a creative input, not an afterthought.
-
High output and fast turnaround in a high-trust, iterative environment.
-
Highly self-motivated and resourceful, with the ability to navigate large asset libraries and execute against briefs with minimal oversight.
-
Demonstrated ability to think beyond execution by proactively identifying opportunities for new creative iterations.
-
Strong ownership mentality and bias toward action; able to independently move projects forward in a fast-paced environment.
-
Bonus: motion graphics, sound design, captioning, and UGC editing chops.
-
Experience with Premiere, motion design, and advanced video editing techniques.
-
Background in CPG, retail, DTC, ecommerce, food & beverage, or wellness brands.
-
Experience working alongside creative strategists, media buyers, or growth marketing teams.
-
Understanding of creative testing frameworks, paid social best practices, and performance marketing principles.
