MEX – Video Editor

Tidal is hiring a Video Editor based in Mexico City to work remotely on short-form paid social content for an eCommerce healthcare apparel brand. This role sits firmly in the post-production workflow, with the editor responsible for delivering 8 to 12 finished video ads per week for Meta placements, cutting real customer footage, product clips, and AI-generated visuals into direct-response and UGC-style creative. It suits an editor who already works in social video advertising and knows what it takes to hold attention in the first three seconds of a paid social ad.

About the Role

The Video Editor works independently within a remote post-production setup, executing against creative briefs without hand-holding. Weekly output includes organic-style ads, AI UGC spots, and AI animation pieces, all formatted for Meta and researched against what is actually performing on TikTok and Reels. A typical day involves pulling selects from customer-submitted footage, generating and refining AI b-roll, writing prompts for AI video tools, and assembling finished cuts that are on-brand and deadline-ready.

Key Responsibilities

• Edit real customer content and product footage into short-form video ads across organic-style, direct-response, and UGC formats for Meta placements.
• Produce complete AI video ads from prompt writing through content generation, take selection, and final edit, using tools such as Kling, Veo, Higgsfield, or Runway.
• Generate realistic AI supporting footage, including contextual b-roll like healthcare workers in motion or product close-ups, matched to the lighting and tone of real clips.
• Build strong opening hooks in the first one to three seconds of every cut, using captions, text overlays, sound design, transitions, and motion graphics to sustain viewer retention.
• Research the Meta Ad Library, TikTok, and Instagram Reels regularly to identify effective hooks and formats and bring those findings back into the creative rotation.
• Manage multiple video projects simultaneously, follow briefs independently, and deliver 8 to 12 finished videos per week on schedule.

What You Bring

• 2 to 4 years of professional or freelance experience editing short-form video ads for paid social or organic distribution.
• A portfolio that includes finished AI UGC and AI animation ads, not experiments, alongside AI-generated b-roll that integrates naturally with real footage.
• Proficiency in CapCut and at least one professional editing platform, Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut Pro.
• Hands-on experience with AI video and image generation tools such as Midjourney, Runway, Higgsfield, Kling, or comparable platforms.
• Demonstrated understanding of pacing, beat cutting, and sound design within a short-form social video post-production workflow.
• Familiarity with direct-to-consumer eCommerce product storytelling and the formats that convert on Meta.

Why This Role

Tidal works with stable, remote-experienced consumer brands and places editors directly with those teams, meaning the working relationship is built for long-term consistency rather than project-to-project churn. This contractor position is full-time at approximately 40 hours per week, with compensation set at $2,000 to $2,500 USD per month. The schedule runs Monday to Friday with flexible hours and some overlap with Australian business hours preferred.
