Job Description
A US-based performance marketing company is seeking a short-form video editor to produce 15-20 direct-response ads weekly for social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat). The role focuses on fast-paced, hook-driven creative with emphasis on quick turnaround and performance metrics. Compensation includes $1,200 USD/month base plus 5% profit share tied to ad performance.
About Us
We're a US-based performance marketing company. We run paid advertising across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, and native platforms to connect Americans struggling with credit card debt to companies that can help them. We spend real money on ads every single day, which means the creative we produce directly drives the business.
We're not looking for someone to make pretty videos. We're looking for someone who understands that a video's job is to stop a scroll, hold attention for 30 seconds, and make someone pick up the phone.
What You'll Do
•Edit 15–20 short-form direct-response ads per week for Facebook, Instagram Reels, TikTok, and Snapchat
•Cut fast-paced, hook-driven creative: strong first 3 seconds, hard cuts, zooms, pattern interrupts, no dead air
•Build UGC-style ads, testimonial edits, text-on-screen ads, and longer-form video sales letters
•Add captions, sound design, b-roll, stock footage, motion graphics, and on-screen text overlays
•Produce multiple variations of winning ads — new hooks, new intros, new angles — so we can test at volume
•Take direct feedback and turn around revisions quickly
What We Need From You
•2+ years editing short-form video, ideally for ads, social content, or a marketing agency
•Ability to cut fast — turnaround matters more here than perfection
•Excellent eye for pacing, rhythm, and timing to music
•Fluent written and spoken English — you'll be editing English-language ads for a US audience and need to understand the script, the tone, and the emotion
•Reliable internet and generator or backup power — this is a daily-output role
•Available to overlap with US Eastern Time hours for feedback and calls
•Comfortable working independently with a task list, not waiting to be managed
Bonus Points
•Experience editing direct-response or performance ads with understanding of hooks, CTAs, and testing
•Familiarity with AI tools such as ElevenLabs, Higgsfield, etc.
•Familiarity with Meta's advertising policies and what does and doesn't get flagged
•Basic motion graphics and animated text presets you've built yourself
Compensation
•$1,200 USD/month base, plus 5% of profits
•Profit share is tied directly to the performance of your creative — when an ad you cut wins and we scale spend behind it, you earn more
•Full performance data on your edits: which hooks held attention, which ads drove calls, which ones were cut
Why This Role Is Good
•Full-time, stable, paid in USD every month
•Real ownership — your creative directly moves the revenue number
•Long-term position with room to grow into a lead creative role as we scale
•Building an in-house content operation, not hiring one-off gigs
How to Apply
Send the following to info@leadbycall.com:
•Your reel or portfolio — link to Google Drive, Vimeo, YouTube, or Instagram (short-form ads and social content preferred)
•One paragraph on the fastest turnaround you've handled and what your typical weekly output looks like
•Your setup — computer specs, internet speed, and whether you have backup power
•When you could start
Shortlisted candidates will be paid for a test edit. You'll receive raw footage and a script and have 72 hours to deliver. Hiring is based on that edit.
