Performance Video Editor (Ecommerce Ads, AI-First)

GrowthEdge is a Google and YouTube Ads agency built by ecommerce operators. We manage around $3M a month in ad spend across 50+ ecommerce brands, and we’re growing fast. We’re hiring a performance video editor to join our creative team and make the ads that drive that spend.

This is not a video editing job in the traditional sense. You’re not cutting content, you’re building ads that have to convert. Every piece of creative you make gets measured on hook rate, hold rate, CTR and the revenue it produces. You’ll see that data and you’ll be expected to act on it.

What you’ll do

• Edit short-form video ads for YouTube, Shorts, Demand Gen and paid social for ecommerce brands across beauty, health, home and consumer products

• Build ads from a mix of UGC, product footage, stock and AI-generated clips. A large part of this role is generating AI clips, stitching them together with real footage and making the result look like a cohesive, believable ad

• Own the first three seconds. You’ll write, test and iterate hooks, and you’ll know which ones are working because you’ll be checking the numbers

• Produce variations at volume: new hooks, new openers, new angles, resized formats, so our media buyers always have fresh creative to test

• Work from briefs and swipe files, but bring your own ideas on angles, structure and pacing

• Review creative performance with the strategy team and feed what you learn into the next round

Who we’re looking for

• 2+ years editing direct response video ads for ecommerce brands, either in-house, at an agency or freelance. Creative strategist backgrounds are welcome if you also edit

• Hands-on experience with AI video and image tools (Higgsfield, Runway, Kling, Veo, Midjourney or similar) and real examples of ads you’ve built by combining AI clips with live footage

• Strong understanding of hook rate, hold rate and what makes a paid ad perform versus what makes a video look nice

• Fast and fluent in Premiere Pro, CapCut or DaVinci Resolve, with solid motion graphics and captioning

• Outcome driven. This is the most important one. We don’t want someone who completes the brief and moves on. We want someone who asks what the ad needs to do, builds toward that, checks whether it worked and goes again. If you’d rather be judged on results than on effort, you’ll fit in here

• Comfortable working remotely with a distributed team and communicating clearly in writing

• Fluent English

What you get

• Fully remote, work from anywhere in Latin America, Europe, Canada or the US

• Direct access to performance data on everything you make, and the freedom to act on it

• A creative engine with AI tooling, competitive research and swipe libraries already built out

• A founder-led team that moves fast and gives you real ownership

How to apply

Send a portfolio of 5 to 10 ads you’ve edited for ecommerce brands. For at least three of them, tell us what role you played, what the ad was trying to achieve and how it performed (hook rate, CTR, ROAS, anything you have). Include at least one example where you used AI-generated footage. Applications without performance context won’t be shortlisted.
