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.

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

Schedule: Monday–Friday, 8:00–17:00 GST (Dubai time), with a 1-hour break

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
