About the role

Our client is a fast-growing DTC pet brand with hundreds of thousands of customers across North America. They're building a paid-creative engine around AI-generated video and need people who can direct the tools to make ads that convert, at volume.

This is not a brand film role and it's not a traditional editing role. Polish doesn't convert; hook, pacing, and message do. You'll generate and assemble video ads for Meta and TikTok using AI, fast, and built to perform.

What you'll do

  • Generate video ads with AI tools (Runway, Kling, Veo, Sora, HeyGen, ElevenLabs): hyper-realistic UGC-style, animated, product-led
  • Direct the tools with intent: prompt, iterate, control realism and style consistency across shots
  • Cut for the hook and the hold: stop the scroll in two seconds, keep them to the CTA
  • Ship variants at volume: a winning concept needs five hook variants, not five days
  • Assemble AI footage, real UGC, and product shots into finished ads in 9:16, 4:5, 1:1
  • Captions and sound that work sound-off and support pacing
  • Iterate on performance feedback: refine what's working, kill what isn't

What we're looking for

  • AI video generation is already your daily workflow, not a tool you tried once
  • 2+ years making video ads for DTC or paid social; you know what a hook is and why it matters
  • A portfolio of ads built to perform, including AI-generated work
  • Comfortable in Premiere, CapCut, or DaVinci for assembly and finishing
  • Speed and volume: you can tell us how many ads you ship a week
  • US business hours, self-directed, moves across briefs without hand-holding

Who you're not

  • Your background is brand film, corporate, or event work
  • You need detailed direction for every cut
  • You'd rather make one perfect edit than twenty test-ready ones
  • AI video is something you're planning to learn

How we hire

A paid test project: two AI-generated 9:16 ads (one hyper-realistic, one animated) plus a short walkthrough of your workflow. Paid on submission regardless of outcome.

Setup
