About this AI Video Editor role at OnHires
We’re looking for an AI Video Editor who knows how to turn creative briefs into high-performing paid social ads at speed.
This is a hands-on execution role for someone who already works with AI-generated video, UGC-style creatives, direct-response editing, and performance advertising. You’ll work closely with a Senior Creative Strategist, who will provide the angles, scripts, and creative direction. Your job is to turn those briefs into polished, ready-to-launch video ads.
This is not a creative strategy or media buying role.
What You’ll Do
Create high-performing video ads for Meta, TikTok, and other paid social channels
Generate AI video, UGC-style footage, product visuals, avatars, and supporting assets using tools such as Higgsfield, Kling, Veo, Seedance, Runway, ElevenLabs, and similar platforms
Edit raw and AI-generated assets into finished UGC, direct-response, VSL, and short-form ad creatives
Build multiple hooks, openings, cuts, pacing variations, and creative iterations from the same concept
Add captions, motion graphics, sound design, B-roll, transitions, product callouts, and other finishing elements
Work from scripts, references, and detailed creative briefs provided by the Senior Creative Strategist
Produce multiple high-quality creative variants every week for ongoing testing
Adapt winning concepts into new versions without losing the core creative strategy
Maintain a fast, organized production workflow and deliver consistently on deadline
What We’re Looking For
Strong hands-on experience producing paid social video ads
Experience with DTC, e-commerce, direct-response, or performance marketing
A portfolio containing real ads created for Meta, TikTok, or similar acquisition channels
Strong experience with AI video generation workflows
Hands-on experience with Higgsfield is highly preferred
Experience with tools such as Kling, Veo, Seedance, Runway, HeyGen, ElevenLabs, or similar
Strong editing skills in Premiere Pro, After Effects, CapCut, or comparable professional editing software
Experience creating UGC-style ads
VSL / Video Sales Letter experience is a strong advantage
Ability to produce and iterate creative at high volume
Strong understanding of hooks, pacing, retention, CTAs, and conversion-focused editing
Ability to follow someone else’s creative direction precisely rather than needing to own the strategy yourself
Strong Candidates Typically Have
Worked as a Video Editor, Performance Video Editor, Paid Social Video Editor, UGC Editor, AI Video Editor, or similar
Produced hundreds of paid ad creatives or worked in an environment where new ads were shipped every week
Worked directly with performance marketing teams, media buyers, creative strategists, or growth teams
Experience working with scaled DTC brands or performance creative agencies
Used performance feedback and A/B testing insights to create new iterations of existing ads
A portfolio showing ads that actually ran — not only cinematic, branding, YouTube, or organic social content
This Role Is Probably Not a Fit If
Most of your experience is traditional filming, videography, VFX, or cinematic production
Your portfolio is primarily YouTube videos, podcasts, music videos, brand films, or organic social content
You have little or no experience with paid acquisition creatives
You have not worked with AI video-generation tools
You prefer developing the overall creative strategy rather than executing detailed briefs
You focus on producing one highly polished video over several days instead of creating multiple strong variants quickly
You want to own media buying or campaign management
What Success Looks Like
Within your first months, you’ll be independently producing a consistent weekly pipeline of new AI-first UGC, VSL, and paid-social ad variants ready for testing, with minimal involvement required from the founder or Senior Creative Strategist in the editing process.
