AI-Focused Video Editor for DTC Brands - SEA Applicants

About Us We're a company running 7–8 figure DTC brand portfolios operating across the US, Malaysia, and the Philippines. Our growth runs through paid social - Meta and TikTok at a serious scale, which means video is at the center of everything we do. We produce a high volume of UGC-style and direct-response ad creative, and we need editors who can keep up without the output quality slipping. This isn't a passion project or a content agency. The videos we edit run as paid ads, and the numbers tell us immediately what's working and what isn't. If you're the kind of editor who gets better with every round of feedback and wants to understand why something performs, not just how it looks, this is the environment for you. We operate across multiple brands and categories, which means if needed, our editors must have the ability to switch between brand voices and audience types without losing quality or pace. The Role As an AI-Focused Video Editor , you'll be responsible for creating and editing AI-assisted video content primarily for paid social advertising. This includes AI-generated visuals, AI UGC -style creatives, product-focused videos, direct-response ads, and variations of existing winning concepts across Meta and TikTok. You'll work closely with Creative Strategists, Video Editors, and the wider creative team to turn concepts and briefs into platform-ready ad creatives. You'll be expected to actively use and experiment with AI video generation and editing tools to create more creative variations, improve turnaround time, and expand what can be produced from a single concept. This is a high-output and high-feedback role. Your work will be reviewed not only on visual quality but also on how effectively it supports creative testing and campaign performance.
