DTC Performance Video Editor

KittySpout is hiring a DTC Performance Video Editor based in Zagreb, Croatia, working fully remote within a lean direct-to-consumer brand team. This role sits squarely in the post-production workflow, with output focused on paid ad creatives for Meta platforms, including VSLs, short-form hooks, and long-form direct response video. It suits an editor who has built a body of work in DTC paid media and understands the difference between content that looks good and content that converts at scale.

About the Role

The editor works directly within KittySpout’s creative and growth team, producing ad creatives for a brand spending over two million dollars per month on Meta advertising. Day-to-day work involves taking raw UGC footage and shaping it into structured direct response ads, applying hook-first editing logic, problem-solution narrative flow, testimonial sequencing, and hard CTAs. The role also covers iteration work, building variations on winning ads to scale performance across paid channels.

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver a consistent output of eight ad briefs per week across short-form and long-form direct response video formats, maintaining quality without requiring revision cycles.
• Edit raw UGC footage into high-converting Meta ad creatives using direct response post-production principles, including hook structure, testimonial placement, and CTA sequencing.
• Analyze performance metrics from prior video creative to inform editing decisions on future briefs and increase view-through and conversion rates.
• Review and apply direct response copywriting principles to scripts before cutting, ensuring narrative structure aligns with paid media best practices.
• Build ad variations and iterations from proven performers to support scaling across paid social channels.
• Stay current with platform-native editing trends and emerging AI production tools, integrating them into the post-production workflow with minimal ramp-up time.

What You Bring

• Three or more years of video editing experience with a focus on DTC paid media and direct response video production.
• Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro as the primary editing software, used in a professional production context.
• A demonstrable track record of editing Meta and Facebook paid ads that have driven measurable conversion results.
• Comfort producing high editorial volume without sacrificing quality or requiring close supervision.
• Fluency in English, with the ability to apply copywriting and scripting judgment independently.
• An active working knowledge of AI tools integrated into a real production stack, not theoretical familiarity.

Why This Role

KittySpout is a genuine growth-stage brand, having crossed twenty-two million dollars in revenue and targeting forty-five to fifty million in 2026, with a recent expansion into a second product vertical under DoggySpout. The editor here has direct access to founders, real impact on performance outcomes, and a performance bonus structure tied to the results they drive. For an editor who wants to own their output and see it measured against real spend, this is a meaningful step in a direct response video production career.
