Remote Video Editor (Paid Ads) | U.S. DTC Marketing Agency
About the position A U.S.-based growth marketing agency is looking for a Video Editor who lives and breathes UGC-style paid social content. You’ll be editing videos that look native to TikTok, Instagram, Meta, and YouTube—but are strategically built to convert. This is a remote, full-time opportunity with flexible hours and async collaboration, perfect for someone based in Latin America who’s excited to edit thumb-stopping content for DTC brands across fashion, beauty, wellness, and more. You'll work closely with a small, fast-moving team—including the founder—to turn raw footage into high-performing ads that don’t feel like ads.

- Collaborate with strategists and designers to align content with campaign goals and audience insights
- Stay ahead of platform trends, ad formats, and viral content styles
- Manage quick turnarounds, revisions, and asset delivery with strong attention to detail
