About the Role
We're looking for a skilled and creative video editor experienced in crafting UGC and VSL ads for Meta.
This role goes beyond simple cutting — it's about storytelling, pacing, and psychology of direct-response advertising.
You'll be producing high-impact ad creatives that combine authentic UGC footage, persuasive copy, and AI-generated elements (voice, visuals, or transitions).
Each 1-minute video can take 4–8 hours from concept to final export.
Responsibilities
* Edit and adapt UGC/VSL creatives for Meta Ads according to briefs and scripts
* Build strong hooks (first 3 seconds) and maintain high engagement throughout
* Integrate AI-generated assets (voiceovers, visuals, transitions) when relevant
* Apply direct-response logic: problem → solution → proof → CTA
* Collaborate closely with creative strategists, copywriters, and content managers
* Implement feedback quickly, keeping high creative output under SOPs
Compensation & Conditions
* Contract type: Contractor (~40 hours/week, tracked via Hubstaff)
* Schedule: Monday–Friday, 8:00–17:00 GST (Dubai time), with a 1-hour break
* Compensation: Negotiable, paid twice monthly via Payoneer
* Bonuses: Performance-based rewards for high-performing ads
* Tools provided: Paid access to Storyblocks, Runway, ElevenLabs, and other creative platforms
* Paid Time Off: Available upon request, subject to business needs
Requirements
* Proven portfolio of UGC/VSL ads (Meta, TikTok, or YouTube Shorts)
* Strong understanding of direct-response ad structure and storytelling
* Proficiency in video editing tools (Premiere Pro, After Effects, CapCut, etc.)
* Basic familiarity with AI-assisted tools (Runway, ElevenLabs, etc.)
* Attention to detail, sense of rhythm, and understanding of ad psychology
* Comfortable working in a fast-paced, feedback-driven environment
* English fluency required
Tools & Workflow
* Hubstaff time tracking
* ClickUp for task management
* Access to premium tools (Storyblocks, Runway, ElevenLabs, etc.)
Samples Required
Please include links to your most relevant video ads — ideally:
* UGC / VSL ads in vertical 9:16 format
* Duration up to 30–60 seconds
* Showcase hooks, pacing, CTA, and storytelling
