•AI Performance Video Editor
•COMPANY
•ROLE & RESPONSIBILITIES

We’re looking for a performance-minded AI Video Editor to help power RYZE’s paid social advertising engine on Meta.

This is a highly executional, fast-paced role at the intersection of performance marketing, video editing, and generative AI. You’ll take raw footage, scripts, concepts, and creative briefs and turn them into high-performing social ads - using both traditional editing techniques and the latest AI video, image, voice, and creative-generation tools.

We’re especially interested in people who actively experiment with tools such as Higgsfield, Kling, OpenArt, and other emerging AI video and creative platforms and understand how to turn them into useful assets for performance advertising.

This is not a brand-only editing role. Performance, speed, experimentation, iteration, and creative problem-solving matter here.

Responsibilities will include

•Edit raw footage into high-quality, conversion-focused social ads for Meta.
•Transform scripts, concepts, storyboards, and creative briefs into compelling short-form ads.
•Use generative AI to create and enhance video, images, animations, product visuals, backgrounds, transitions, b-roll, and other creative assets.
•Explore and actively use AI video and creative tools such as Higgsfield, Kling, OpenArt, and emerging platforms to develop new advertising concepts.
•Create multiple creative variations quickly - including different hooks, openings, visual concepts, pacing, CTAs, and messaging.
•Add captions, sound design, music, transitions, effects, b-roll, and motion graphics to maximize engagement and clarity.
•Develop strong first 1-3 second hooks designed to stop the scroll.
•Maintain strong pacing, flow, timing, and visual hierarchy optimized for paid social performance.
•Write and apply clear, accurate, compelling English captions and on-screen messaging.
•Use Adobe Premiere Pro as the primary editing tool, with After Effects and Photoshop as needed.
•Manage multipe ads and creative iterations simultaneously while maintaining speed and quality.
•Incorporate creative feedback quickly and efficiently.
•Review basic performance metrics such as thumb-stop rate, hold rate, CTR, and conversion performance to inform future creative iterations.
•Turn performance insights into new creative tests and variations.
•Stay ahead of emerging AI video, animation, and creative-generation technologies and identify tools that can improve RYZE’s creative output.

PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS

•2+ years of hands-on video editing experience, ideally in performance marketing, paid social, DTC, or e-commerce.
•Proven experience creating short-form paid social ads for platforms such as Meta.
•A strong portfolio demonstrating performance-driven creative and AI animation - not just polished brand videos.
•Strong proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro; working knowledge of After Effects and Photoshop.
•Experience with tools such as Higgsfield, Kling, OpenArt, Veo3, or similar AI creative platforms.
•A strong understanding of how to use AI-generated content in service of advertising performance, rather than simply creating visually impressive AI videos.
•Strong understanding of hooks, pacing, retention, storytelling, captions, sound design, and direct-response creative.

CHARACTERISTICS

Performance-first creative mindset

•every edit is evaluated against whether it will convert, not whether it looks impressive. Understands the difference between a beautiful video and an effective ad.

AI-native workflow

•doesn't use AI as a novelty or shortcut. Has a genuine, considered point of view on which tools earn their place in a production pipeline and how to integrate generated assets into polished, conversion-ready creative.

Hook obsession

•the first 1–3 seconds are not an afterthought. Approaches every brief by identifying the strongest possible scroll-stopper before anything else gets built.

Iteration velocity

•can produce multiple creative variations — different hooks, pacing, CTAs, visual concepts — quickly and without treating each as a fresh creative project. Volume and speed are part of the job.

Data-literate creative

•reads performance metrics (thumb-stop rate, hold rate, CTR, conversion) and translates them into creative decisions. Doesn't wait to be told what the data means.

Tool curiosity

•actively experiments with emerging AI video and creative platforms before being asked to. Knows what Higgsfield, Kling, Veo3, and OpenArt can and can't do right now, and updates that view regularly.

Structured under speed

•manages multiple ads and iterations simultaneously without losing track of versions, feedback states, or delivery timelines. Fast doesn't mean disorganized.

Feedback-efficient

•incorporates direction quickly, asks clarifying questions upfront rather than mid-execution, and doesn't require the same note twice.
