Video Editor

YourMarketingPartners is hiring a Video Editor based in London, England, to join their paid ads creative team. This is a post-production role focused entirely on direct response ad creative, producing Meta and YouTube ad formats including raw footage cutdowns, UGC edits, motion graphics ads, and long-form VSLs. It suits an editor who has spent the last few years inside performance marketing or ad creative workflows, not broadcast or narrative post-production.

About the Role

YourMarketingPartners runs paid media operations for ecommerce, coaching, and info businesses, and this Video Editor sits at the centre of their creative output, turning client-supplied footage into testable ad creative at volume. Day to day, that means working across a post-production workflow that covers everything from chaotic founder talking heads to structured studio shoots, UGC drops, and script-driven VSLs. The role spans both raw footage editing and motion graphics builds, so the work is varied but the output is always the same: ads that hold attention and drive action.

Key Responsibilities

• Cut raw client footage including founder talking heads, product shoots, UGC content, and screen recordings into paid ad formats optimised for Meta and YouTube ad creative performance.
• Build multiple ad variations from a single shoot, varying hooks, angles, lengths, and CTAs to give media buyers proper volume for split testing.
• Engineer the first one to three seconds of every edit with intention, using text overlays, jump cuts, B-roll, and pattern interrupts to stop the scroll.
• Produce motion-led ads from scratch using typography, animated callouts, product motion, and data-driven graphic elements when no raw footage is available.
• Edit long-form VSL scripts into finished videos with clean pacing, integrated B-roll, captions, and music, then produce shorter cutdowns for ad use.
• Manage your own post-production queue in a fully remote setup, flagging capacity issues early and delivering finished cuts within hours to a couple of days.

What You Bring

• Two to four years editing video ad creative specifically for direct response, with a portfolio showing UGC ads, VSLs, motion ads, and raw footage cutdowns.
• Fluency in Premiere Pro and/or DaVinci Resolve for primary editing, plus After Effects for motion graphics work.
• Solid grasp of caption and subtitle workflows, basic colour correction, and audio mixing and levelling to broadcast-ready standards.
• A genuine understanding of ad pacing, retention mechanics, and hook structure, editing for algorithm performance rather than aesthetic approval.
• Comfortable sourcing and integrating stock footage, B-roll, and graphic elements cleanly into a finished cut.

Why This Role

YourMarketingPartners works across two service models serving clients actively scaling paid media, which means the creative demand is real and consistent, not project-to-project. For an editor looking to build serious depth in direct response video production, the volume and variety of briefs here offers genuine craft development across formats. London-based applicants working remotely will find the setup straightforward and self-directed.
