What you'll do
- Review every ad before it goes live: watch every first draft from in-house editors and agency partners and leave timestamped notes in Frame.io
- Catch everything: captions, typos, clipped words, audio levels, pacing, weak B-roll, hooks that don't stitch into the body, the product showing too early
- Push past "correct" to "better": stronger hook visuals, music, SFX, text styles and cuts
- Plan 3-6 cutdowns and extra hook variations for each ad, so we test more versions of every idea
- Turn scripts into clear briefs, with a short Loom showing the dream edit
- Give specific feedback ("change X because Y") so the same note never comes up twice
- Run weekly check-ins with your editors, match work to their strengths and keep output on track
- Own the production board in Notion: assign edits, chase deadlines and reassign when someone's off
- Get influencer content over the line: every hook, every file and whitelisting access, tracked and ready
- Hand final files to media buying, named and labelled so launches are clean
- Read the comments on our live ads for objections, questions and new hook ideas
- Know which ads are winning and why, and bring those patterns into the next edit
- Keep a swipe file of the best DTC ads and new formats worth testing
- Help build our AI editing pipeline, using tools like Claude Code, Higgsfield and ElevenLabs
- Keep teaching the system: feed it new formats, references and examples so the output improves every week
- Help editors adopt new tools, and check AI edits as closely as human ones
- Review agency scripts and fix logic or flow issues before anything gets filmed
- Write bottom-of-funnel scripts, hooks and variations using our copy frameworks and AI tools
What we're looking for
- Strong with AI: uses Claude every day, comfortable in Claude Code, and has built automated workflows that save real time
- A ruthless eye for detail: spots a typo, a clipped word or a flicker on the first watch
- Clear, specific feedback: can explain exactly what to change and why, in writing or on a Loom
- Technical confidence: understands how video editing works (Premiere, CapCut, DaVinci or similar) and picks up new tools fast
- Taste for direct response: watches a lot of ads, knows why a hook stops the scroll, and cares whether an ad sells, not just how it looks
- A team player: collaborative, responsive and active on Slack, working under senior strategists
- Ownership and speed: juggles several projects, chases people without being chased, and figures things out before asking
- No ego: takes blunt feedback well and acts on it fast
- Based in the UK or Europe, working remotely
Nice to have
- A background in video editing, content creation or creative strategy
- Experience at a DTC brand or performance agency
- An understanding of acquisition numbers: ad spend, cost per purchase and what makes an ad scale
- An interest in direct response copywriting
- Something you've built yourself: a side project, a small business or a startup
