Looking for Philippines-based candidates

Job Role: AI Video & Ad Creative Editor 

Compensation range: $100 AUD - $140 AUD per completed video/project, depending on complexity (Open to discussing a monthly arrangement depending on workload and ongoing requirements)

Engagement type: Independent Contractor Agreement (Project-based)

Work Schedule: This role is expected to align with the AU business hours (approx. 9 AM - 5 PM, Monday to Friday) for collaboration, but as a contractor, you’ll have flexibility in how you manage your time.

Who We Are: At Hunt St, we help Australian companies hire top remote talent in the Philippines. For this role, you will be engaged directly by the client as an independent contractor. We are not an outsourcing agency. All of our roles are 100% remote so you'll be able to work from home.

Role Overview: We're looking for an internal AI Video Editor & Performance Creative Specialist to support a project creating engaging 30–60-second video advertisements for Meta (Facebook and Instagram). You'll combine existing founder-led footage with AI-generated B-roll, motion graphics, graphic overlays and other creative elements to produce polished, attention-grabbing ads. Beyond technical editing, we're looking for someone with a strong understanding of digital marketing and advertising who can bring creative input, apply effective storytelling and pacing, and understand what makes short-form ads engaging to their target audience.

Key Responsibilities: 

• Edit short-form video advertisements (30–60 seconds) for Meta platforms, including Facebook and Instagram.
• Combine founder footage with relevant and engaging AI-generated B-roll to support the messaging and storytelling.
• Create eye-catching graphic overlays, text animations, transitions and motion graphics.
• Use creative editing techniques, faster cuts and varied visual elements to maintain viewer attention.
• Source or generate relevant AI visuals and B-roll that feel natural, specific and aligned with the ad's message rather than generic stock footage.
• Apply marketing principles when editing ads, including strong hooks, storytelling, audience engagement and clear calls to action.
• Provide creative input on video concepts, visual approaches and ways to make advertisements more engaging.
• Ensure all video content aligns with the brand's messaging and visual identity.
• Deliver completed videos and revisions within agreed project timelines.

Requirements

• Proven experience editing short-form marketing videos, particularly paid social media advertisements.
• Strong understanding of Meta advertising creatives and what makes video ads engaging and effective.
• Hands-on experience using AI video generation tools to create B-roll, supporting visuals or other creative assets.
• Proficiency in professional video editing software such as Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro or similar.
• Experience with motion graphics, animated text, graphic overlays and transitions.
• Strong storytelling skills, with an understanding of pacing, hooks and audience retention.
• Good creative judgement and the ability to turn a brief into engaging visual content.
• A portfolio demonstrating high-quality short-form video ads, preferably combining real footage, AI-generated visuals and motion graphics.
• Ability to work independently, manage project deadlines and incorporate feedback.

Preferred/Nice-to-Have:

• Experience working with recruitment, professional services or B2B brands.
• Familiarity with AI creative tools such as Runway, Kling, Google Veo, Sora or similar.
• Experience creating and testing different ad variations, hooks and creative angles.
• Understanding of direct-response marketing and conversion-focused advertising.

Work Arrangement & Expectations:

This is a remote role that will be set up as an independent contractor engagement.

To ensure alignment and transparency, successful candidates will be expected to:

• Disclose any existing ongoing roles or client work
• Reflect this engagement on their LinkedIn profile (clearly marked as “Independent Contractor”)
