CHL – Video Editor (eCommerce)

Tidal is hiring a Video Editor (eCommerce) based in Santiago Centro, Region Metropolitana, working remotely as a full-time independent contractor. This role sits in the post-production workflow of a healthcare apparel eCommerce brand, where the editor is responsible for turning customer footage, product clips, and AI-generated visuals into short-form paid social ads for Meta at a rate of 8 to 12 finished videos per week. It suits a working editor with real experience in direct response video production who already knows how to move between AI video tools and traditional editing platforms without slowing down a content calendar.

About the Role

The Video Editor (eCommerce) operates within the brand’s creative production pipeline, building short-form ad content across organic-style, UGC, and direct response formats for Meta placements. A typical day involves cutting customer-submitted footage, generating and integrating AI b-roll, writing prompts for AI UGC tools, and delivering finished videos against active creative briefs. The pace is production-level, not editorial, meaning output and consistency matter as much as craft.

Key Responsibilities

• Edit short-form video ads using real customer content and product footage, cutting to a rhythm that holds viewer attention from the first three seconds through to the end card.
• Produce complete AI-generated UGC and animation ads from prompt to final export, selecting the best AI takes and integrating them into a polished, deliverable cut.
• Generate realistic AI b-roll footage, such as a nurse moving through a clinical setting or close-up product handling shots, that matches the lighting and tone of real captured footage.
• Apply captions, text overlays, motion graphics, sound design, and transitions in line with platform best practices for Meta, Reels, and TikTok formats.
• Research the Meta Ad Library, TikTok, and Reels regularly to identify effective hooks and formats and bring those findings into active creative briefs.
• Manage multiple projects simultaneously, meet weekly delivery targets of 8 to 12 finished videos, and communicate clearly on timelines and creative questions without needing close supervision.

What You Bring

• 2 to 4 years of professional or freelance experience editing short-form social video ads with a portfolio that includes finished paid social work, not just spec or experimental cuts.
• 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 tools including Kling, Veo, Higgsfield, Runway, Midjourney, or similar platforms, with completed AI ads in your portfolio.
• Strong command of pacing, beat-cutting, and sound design in the context of direct response video production.
• Experience with VSL editing or longer-form eCommerce ad formats is a plus, as is familiarity with DTC product storytelling and the Meta ad ecosystem.

Why This Role

Tidal places contractors with established eCommerce brands that have real remote hiring infrastructure, which means the working relationship is structured and the expectations are clear from day one. The contractor fee for this Video Editor (eCommerce) position is $2,000 to $2,500 per month USD, with a Monday to Friday schedule and flexible working hours. Tidal is operated by consumer brand owners, so the people assigning briefs understand production workflow and are not learning on the job.
