Direct Response Video Editor

Jobgether is hiring a Direct Response Video Editor based in Portugal, sourcing on behalf of a partner company operating in the paid social advertising space. This role sits within a performance creative department focused on producing short-form video ads and static creatives for platforms including Meta and TikTok, with output measured directly against conversion metrics. It suits an editor who has built a career in direct-to-consumer paid social production and thinks about creative decisions in terms of hooks, testing volume, and cost per acquisition.

About the Role

The Direct Response Video Editor works inside a growth-oriented creative team alongside strategists who manage campaign performance and identify winning angles for further iteration. Day to day, this means cutting user-generated content, founder footage, testimonials, and product demonstrations into conversion-focused ad creatives, then producing multiple variations of each concept to support structured creative testing. AI-assisted production tools including ChatGPT, Runway, Pika, and Descript are part of the standard post-production workflow here, used to accelerate output without reducing effectiveness.

Key Responsibilities

• Edit short-form direct response video ads for Meta, TikTok, and other paid social platforms, optimising each cut for audience retention and conversion at every stage of the funnel.
• Transform raw user-generated content, testimonials, and product demo footage into polished, audience-focused advertising assets that meet platform specifications.
• Develop multiple hook and call-to-action variations per concept to support ongoing performance testing across active paid social campaigns.
• Write and adapt scripts and ad copy that communicate product benefits clearly and support the visual storytelling in each creative.
• Design static ad creatives for Meta campaigns, adjusting layouts, headlines, and offers to generate testable variations at volume.
• Source, organise, and manage a library of UGC footage, stock material, B-roll, and creative assets to keep production moving efficiently.

What You Bring

• At least two years of professional experience editing direct response video advertisements for direct-to-consumer brands, with a portfolio showing paid social work.
• Proficiency in CapCut, Adobe Premiere Pro, or Adobe After Effects, plus working knowledge of Photoshop for static creative production.
• Demonstrated experience designing static ad creatives specifically for Meta advertising campaigns.
• Hands-on familiarity with AI-powered creative tools such as ChatGPT, Runway, or Pika in a production context.
• Strong working knowledge of direct response principles including hook construction, messaging angles, and call-to-action strategy.

Why This Role

Jobgether’s partner company operates with a creative testing culture that gives editors real ownership over iteration and production decisions, rather than locking them into a single creative direction handed down from above. The Portugal location offers flexibility within a team that values measurable output and creative experimentation in equal measure. This is a position for someone who wants their editing decisions to show up directly in campaign data.
