About BRAVE Books

At BRAVE Books, our mission is to secure the hearts and minds of the next generation when they are the most malleable, before the harmful agendas of this world can try leading them astray. We do this by creating faith- and values-based stories, TV shows, games, and resources that equip families to raise the next generation of courageous, truth-filled leaders. We publish bold, meaningful content every month—from picture books and chapter books to graphic novels, TV series and more—all designed to captivate children and support parents in the battle for their kids' hearts and minds.

About BRAVE Culture

At BRAVE Books, we've built a team of reliable, relentless high-performers who are loyal to the mission, driven to win, and selfless in execution. We hire individuals who show up hungry, take ownership, and grind with consistency — the kind of people who carry more than their share without needing the spotlight.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Videos can be the difference between a profitable campaign and a wasted budget. A scroll-stopping first three seconds, engaging edit, and a strong CTA can carry the weight of our paid acquisition across Meta, YouTube, and TikTok. We partner with creators whose audiences live on video, and we launch dozens of books every year. Every one of those launches needs multiple videos that perform.We're looking for an editor who thinks like a media buyer and wants to understand the data on the videos they've edited, and is driven to apply the data to their future edits.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Edit ad creatives at volume. You'll produce a constant stream of new cuts, hooks, and variations for Meta, YouTube, and TikTok, and you'll understand that creative volume is key in this landscape.
• Own the hook. The first three seconds decide everything. You'll test opening frames, pattern interrupts, text overlays, pacing, captions, and audio, and you'll develop a formula for what actually stops the scroll for our audience.
• Iterate off the data. You'll sit with the Paid Media Buyer and read the performance data, hook rate, watch time, CTR, ROAS. When an ad wins, you'll know why and produce new variations. When it loses, you'll know why and not repeat it.
• Find new ways to use video. Ads are the floor, not the ceiling. Organic social, YouTube pre-roll, landing page assets, UGC-style content, creator collaborations, product demos, are all ways we can utilize video. You'll bring ideas for where video can open up a channel we've not optimized yet.
• Work with creator footage. Many of our authors are YouTubers and podcasters with libraries of existing content. You'll mine that footage, pull the moments that land, and turn them into ads that feel native to their audience rather than like a commercial.
• Repurpose ruthlessly. You'll build systems for cutting long-form video into shorts, verticals, thumbnails, and frames, enabling us to turn one creative into many finished products.

QUALIFICATIONS & COMPETENCIES

• Performance-first instincts. You care whether the video performs. A non-aesthetic ad that sells is better than a beautiful edit that doesn't convert.
• High energy. This is a high-volume, high-energy seat. We want someone who will take it on and be excited to drive results.
• Editing experience. You know DaVinci, Premiere Pro, After Effects, or other post-production, editing, and motion graphic software well enough that execution isn't the bottleneck.
• Happy to take feedback. Notes will come from copywriters, media buyers, and leadership. You'll take them, make the work better, and move on.
• Mission alignment. You believe in what BRAVE is building, and you want your work pointed at it.
• Proven experience editing video ad creative, with a reel or portfolio of work that ran on paid channels
• Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects (or equivalent)
• Strong grasp of platform-native formats across Meta, YouTube, and TikTok
• Comfort working from performance data and iterating quickly
• Ability to manage multiple deadlines in a fast-paced, in-office environment

PREFERRED SKILLS & EXPERIENCE

• 2–4+ years editing direct-response or performance video
• Experience with eCommerce or subscription brands
• Motion graphics and sound design capability
• Experience shooting as well as editing
• UGC and creator-content fluency
• Background working with faith-based or values-driven brands
