About Affluent Co

At Affluent Co, we partner with ambitious brands to create high-performance creative that doesn't just look exceptional - it drives measurable growth. As a creative agency built for modern consumer brands, we blend strategy, production, and performance insight to deliver work that scales.

We are now looking for a Senior Digital Video Editor who lives and breathes Meta ads. This is a performance-first role focused on editing, iterating, and scaling high-converting paid social video creatives for fast-growing D2C brands.

This role is a mix of brand motion-focus & editing ads designed to sell and scale performance.

What You'll Be Creating

• Meta paid social ads (UGC & motion Ads)
• Performance-led UGC edits, motion graphics
• Multiple creative iterations per concept (hooks, angles, messaging, edits)
• High-volume video ad variations to support creative testing and scaling

Key Responsibilities

• Edit, animate, and iterate paid social video creatives for Meta with a focus on performance metrics such as Purchases, CTR, CPA, and NcCPA.
• Develop multiple hooks and creative angles per concept to support high-volume testing.
• Turn briefs, insights, and raw footage into conversion-focused video ads quickly and efficiently.
• Edit and adapt UGC content into native, high-performing paid social video ads.
• Apply performance insights and feedback to improve creatives and combat ad fatigue.
• Collaborate closely with the creative strategists, and media buyers to align creative output with campaign performance.
• Present work clearly and refine edits based on feedback and performance data.
• Support internal marketing initiatives such as showreels, case study videos, and presentations when required.
• Help maintain and evolve the agency's motion and editing standards aligned with performance goals.

Requirements

• 3+ years experience editing paid social or performance-focused video ads.
• Hands-on experience creating video ads on Meta for D2C brands.
• Strong understanding of performance marketing and creative testing principles.
• Experience working with UGC-style content (subtitles, pacing, overlays, CTAs).
• Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects and/or CapCut.
• Ability to produce multiple edit iterations quickly in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong portfolio showcasing paid social video ad work.
• Ability to use AI softwares such as Higgsfield to create B-roll clips when not readily available
• Excellent communication skills and confidence in presenting creative ideas.
• High attention to detail and pride in polished, performance-driven output.
• Fluent English (written and spoken).

Who This Role Is Perfect For

This role is ideal for someone who

• Thinks in hooks, angles, formats, and iterations
• Has a keen eye for detail & a desire for perfection
• Understands how users behave on Meta
• Enjoys testing, analysing data, and improving creative performance
• Wants to specialise in paid social video rather than general video editing
• Loves D2C brands and understands what makes ads convert
• Has ambition to lead a team of video editors & upskill those around them

Benefits

• Work with a high-growth portfolio of ambitious, premium consumer brands.
• Be part of a performance-driven creative team pushing industry standards.
• 26 days paid holiday (plus public holidays).
• Extra day off for your birthday.
• Structured training and development.
• A culture built on creativity, ownership, and continuous improvement.
