Video Editor

Launch Potato is hiring a Video Editor based in San Luis Potosí, SLP, Mexico to join their remote-first digital media team. This role sits in the post-production workflow for short-form paid social content, with the editor owning the full cut from raw footage through final delivery across YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. It suits an editor who has already built a track record on performance-driven accounts and understands how creative decisions translate directly into ad metrics.

About the Role

The Video Editor works within Launch Potato’s content and paid media operation, cutting UGC-style video ads primarily for FinanceBuzz and other brands in the company’s portfolio. A typical day involves reviewing raw footage, building hooks, shaping pacing for short-form platforms, and contributing thumbnail and title concepts before final delivery. This is not a narrative or broadcast post-production role, it is squarely in the performance creative space where every edit is measured against CTR and CPA outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

• Edit UGC-style short-form video ads optimized for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, Facebook, and TikTok, with a clear understanding of platform-specific pacing and hook structure.
• Contribute pre-packaging assets including title copy and thumbnail concepts to support the full creative package for each deliverable.
• Record a-roll, b-roll, and UGC-style footage on an as-needed basis to supplement existing creative assets.
• Use AI tools including ArcAds, VEO, and Claude to develop new hooks, generate b-roll concepts, and build creative from scratch when needed.
• Monitor comments across all active channels and apply performance insights to inform future editing decisions and creative strategy.
• Communicate clearly and quickly through Slack with internal stakeholders and external partners throughout the short-form content production cycle.

What You Bring

• Minimum two years of experience as a video editor with a portfolio of short-form content produced for growing paid social accounts.
• Proficiency in Adobe Premiere, which is a hard requirement for this role.
• Working knowledge of AI tools used in the performance creative space, such as ArcAds, VEO, Nano Banana, and Claude.
• A working understanding of paid advertising KPIs including CTR and CPA, and how editing choices affect those numbers.
• Availability to work 9am to 5pm Mountain Standard Time with occasional on-call hours outside that window.

Why This Role

Launch Potato reaches more than 30 million monthly visitors across its portfolio of brands, giving this video editor real scale and measurable feedback on their work without the long feedback cycles typical of broadcast or episodic television post-production. The company operates with a remote-first structure across more than 15 countries, and the editorial team has genuine ownership over creative output. Compensation for this Video Editor position is $1,500 to $2,500 USD per month.
