Performance Video Editor

Base Power Company is hiring a Performance Video Editor based in Austin, Texas. This is a post-production role sitting inside the marketing department, focused entirely on producing and iterating paid social video ads across Meta, YouTube, and Instagram. It suits an editor who treats direct-response advertising as a craft discipline, not a step down from narrative work.

About the Role

The Performance Video Editor at Base works within the creative marketing team, owning the full paid social video workflow from raw footage to finished ad unit. Day to day, that means cutting testimonials, product demos, and interview footage into conversion-focused ads, then using performance data to build the next round of tests. This is an editing-first position, with real creative input into hooks, narrative structure, and visual approach, not just assembly work.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end post-production workflow for paid social video, from first cut through creative iteration and final delivery across multiple platforms.
• Develop and test hooks, pacing structures, and visual pattern interrupts that drive measurable audience retention and conversion in direct-response advertising.
• Transform raw interview footage, customer testimonials, and product demonstration footage into multiple distinct creative concepts from a single shoot.
• Apply motion graphics, typography, color work, and sound design in Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve, with After Effects used for more complex graphic executions.
• Work directly with performance marketers to interpret campaign results and translate creative learnings into new ad concepts and structured creative tests.
• Use AI-assisted production tools to increase creative testing velocity and expand what is achievable within tight turnaround timelines.

What You Bring

• A portfolio demonstrating paid social video editing with a clear focus on direct-response and customer-acquisition advertising.
• Proven experience building performance creative for Meta, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube ad environments.
• Advanced proficiency in Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve, with working motion graphics skills in After Effects or a comparable tool.
• The ability to turn limited footage and loose briefs into multiple creative directions without close oversight.
• Comfort moving quickly in response to live campaign data, shifting priorities, and direct feedback from marketing partners.

Why This Role

Base Power Company is building distributed battery infrastructure across the United States, and video is a primary channel for explaining a genuinely complex product to a consumer audience. This role sits at the center of that effort, with direct influence over creative strategy, not just execution. The company is early-stage, which means the work shapes the brand rather than maintaining one that already exists.
