Video Editor | Direct Response Ads

Catch Creation is hiring a Video Editor for Direct Response Ads, working fully remote from anywhere in the USA. This is a post-production role embedded in a DTC eCommerce operation, where the primary output is vertical short-form video ads built for Meta and TikTok paid social campaigns. It suits an editor who has cut performance-driven creative before and wants real visibility into how their work actually converts.

About the Role

You’ll work inside the creative department at Catch Creation, cutting direct response ads for in-house DTC brands including Muddy Mat and Cloud K9. The post-production workflow here is tightly tied to paid social advertising spend, meaning every cut you deliver goes live with real budget behind it and performance data comes back within days. A typical week involves cutting eight to twelve ads from Creative Director briefs, turning revision rounds in under twenty-four hours, and developing your own variations on concepts that are already performing.

Key Responsibilities

• Cut eight to twelve vertical direct response ads per week using Creative Director briefs as a starting point, shaping the final concept through active collaboration rather than passive execution.
• Assemble UGC and influencer footage into short-form ads engineered to hold viewer retention past the three-second drop-off threshold.
• Build subtitles, text overlays, motion graphics, and sound design that serve message delivery rather than aesthetic decoration.
• Deliver revision rounds within twenty-four hours, incorporating notes without losing the structural logic of what makes each ad work.
• Develop original angles and variations on winning ads, adapting top performers into new formats, lengths, and platform-specific cuts.
• Bring informed opinions about hook construction and retention editing into creative conversations, and argue for them when the work supports it.

What You Bring

• Demonstrated experience cutting paid social ads for DTC or eCommerce brands, specifically on Meta or TikTok, not only long-form or corporate video production.
• Fluency in Premiere Pro, After Effects, or both, applied to short-form direct response formats.
• The ability to articulate why a hook works and diagnose exactly where viewer attention breaks down in the edit.
• A track record of turning around fast revision cycles without losing creative judgment in the process.
• Comfort operating inside a high-volume direct response creative workflow where most tests lose and that outcome is treated as information, not failure.

Why This Role

Catch Creation gives editors something most paid social jobs do not, which is direct access to performance data on every cut they deliver, creating a feedback loop that sharpens editorial instincts faster than guessing in the dark. The creative function here is treated as the primary growth driver of the business, not a support service, which means the work carries genuine weight. For a Video Editor for Direct Response Ads who wants to get unusually good at a specific and marketable discipline, this is a serious opportunity to do exactly that.
