Video Editor, Performance Ads (E-commerce)

About the role

A partner company is looking for a creative, performance-driven Video Editor for e-commerce performance ads, based in the United Arab Emirates. The role turns creative briefs, product assets and user-generated content into video ads for Meta, TikTok, Google and YouTube, combining traditional editing with AI-powered creative tools. It is a fully remote, full-time contractor position across several direct-to-consumer brands, with a paid 60-day trial.

Key responsibilities

• Edit and optimise UGC, creator footage, product demos and product photos into engaging ads, and produce a consistent weekly volume of original concepts and hook variations.
• Create AI-generated ads from scratch, including virtual presenters, synthetic voices and generated scenes.
• Develop and test formats such as problem-solution videos, testimonials, unboxing, founder stories, competitive comparisons and green-screen videos.
• Monitor metrics such as hook rate, hold rate, CTR, CPA and ROAS, and use them to improve, vary or discard creatives.
• Stay up to date with trends and competitor campaigns on TikTok and Meta, and give feedback on internal AI creative tools.
• Support high-priority seasonal campaigns, including Q4 promotions, and contribute to creative testing and planning.

Required profile

• At least 2 years editing direct-response video ads for e-commerce or DTC brands, especially Meta campaigns.
• Portfolio of published e-commerce ads with links to live examples; AI showreels, music videos and brand films are not enough.
• Proven expertise in editing converting UGC ads, with strong English copywriting for US audiences.
• Availability for at least four hours of daily overlap with UK working hours, the rest asynchronous.

Required skills

• Daily practical use of AI tools such as Veo 3, Kling 3, Seedance, Runway, Higgsfield, Nano Banana Pro, Midjourney and ElevenLabs.
• Adobe Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve, and familiarity with CapCut.
• Understanding of Meta creative testing and how to read hook rate, hold rate, CTR and CPA.

What we offer

• Competitive base pay plus a performance-based bonus linked to scorecard results.
• Fully remote work and a full-time contractor opportunity.
• Paid 60-day trial, immediate start and work on high-visibility campaigns.
