Video Editor | Paid Social and Ad Creative

Job Position(s): Video Editor | Paid Social and Ad Creative

Gordon Digital is hiring a Video Editor for paid social and ad creative in Brisbane, Queensland, with a focus on Meta ad campaigns for Australia’s residential construction sector. This role sits inside a specialist digital agency post-production workflow, cutting short form ad creative, case studies, and organic reels that run as live paid media the moment they are approved. It suits an editor who wants to go deep on social ad creative and paid social production rather than spread thin across shooting, producing, and client management all at once.

About the Role

The Video Editor position at Gordon Digital works directly alongside strategists and a copywriter in the Newstead office, cutting finished paid social creative from brief to delivery for home builder clients across Australia. The output is almost entirely short form, with Meta ads, hook variants, project walkthroughs, and interview-driven case studies making up the bulk of the edit workload. Because every cut runs as paid media, performance data comes back quickly and feeds directly into the next round of creative decisions.

Key Responsibilities

• Edit Meta ad creative from strategist briefs and scripts, building hooks engineered to hold attention within the first three seconds of playback.
• Cut hook variants from proven top-performing ads to extend the life of successful paid social creative.
• Deliver finished edits across 9:16, 4:5, and 1:1 formats for use across Meta placements and organic reels.
• Edit client case studies, on-camera interviews, and architectural project walkthroughs into polished short form content.
• Apply captions, motion graphics in After Effects, sound design, and colour grading to a finished broadcast standard on every deliverable.
• Review post-campaign performance data with strategists and contribute creative ideas for the next production cycle.

What You Bring

• Two to four years of editing experience with a portfolio that demonstrates short form ad creative or paid social production.
• High proficiency in Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve, with working knowledge of After Effects for motion graphics and caption work.
• A demonstrable understanding of pacing, hook structure, and the editing principles that drive performance in paid social formats.
• The output quality and turnaround speed to handle multiple edits per week without a drop in finish.
• Comfort receiving feedback from multiple stakeholders and reprioritising without requiring close supervision.

Why This Role

Gordon Digital has spent more than ten years building a reputation as the specialist marketing partner for leading Australian construction brands, which means the creative here has real context and real stakes attached to it. Editors rarely get direct access to performance data on the work they cut, and this role is structured specifically so that feedback loop exists. The agency operates with flexible hours, two work-from-home days per week, and four additional wellness days per year on top of standard leave.
