About the role

We are looking for a creative and reliable Video Editor / UGC Ad Creator to help us produce high-performing video ads for social media. The role can be part-time or full-time, and we are open to remote candidates as well as people who can work locally.

Romanian language skills are a plus, but not required. Strong English is enough.

About the Role

You will help create and edit short-form videos for platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, Facebook, YouTube Shorts, and paid ads. We are looking for someone who understands fast-paced social media content, strong hooks, UGC-style editing, and how to make videos that feel natural but also sell.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys testing different creatives, improving video performance, and working with a team to create ads that grab attention.

Responsibilities

  • Edit short-form video ads for social media and paid campaigns
  • Create UGC-style videos using raw footage, voiceovers, captions, product clips, and b-roll
  • Add captions, transitions, music, sound effects, graphics, and motion elements
  • Turn ideas and scripts into engaging ad creatives
  • Create multiple video variations for testing different hooks, angles, and calls-to-action
  • Improve videos based on feedback and performance data
  • Stay up to date with TikTok, Instagram, and paid ad creative trends
  • Organize files and deliver videos on time
  • Optional: help record simple UGC-style content, voiceovers, or product demos

Requirements

  • Experience editing short-form videos, ads, or UGC content
  • Strong understanding of social media video formats and trends
  • Good sense of pacing, storytelling, hooks, and direct-response ad structure
  • Ability to create clean, modern, engaging edits
  • Comfortable working with feedback and making revisions quickly
  • Good English communication skills
  • Reliable, organized, and able to meet deadlines
  • Portfolio or examples of previous video work

Step 1: Application & Portfolio Review

Please apply with examples of your previous work. We are especially interested in:

  • UGC-style ads
  • TikTok / Instagram Reels / YouTube Shorts
  • Paid social ads
  • Product videos
  • E-commerce or direct-response creatives
  • Videos with strong hooks, captions, pacing, and clear calls-to-action

We will review your portfolio to understand your editing style, quality, and experience with short-form content.

Step 2: Short Intro Call

Selected candidates will be invited to a short call of around 20–30 minutes.

We will discuss:

  • Your previous experience
  • The type of videos you have edited
  • Your editing process
  • Tools you use
  • Availability: part-time or full-time
  • English and/or Romanian language level
