Senior AI Video Editor

Senior AI Video Editor — Performance Creative & Social Commerce

About [Employer]

[Employer] is a high-growth, cross-border women's intimates brand and e-commerce group scaling rapidly across the US, APAC, and global marketplaces (Shopify DTC, Amazon Worldwide, and TikTok Shop). We combine high-performance digital acquisition with lean, high-velocity global execution — and video is a core growth lever across Meta, TikTok, YouTube, Amazon, and social commerce.

We are hiring a Senior AI Video Editor to own AI-accelerated video production for performance and brand: short-form ads, listing/lifestyle cuts, UGC polish, and disciplined creative testing. We care more about tighter, higher-converting cuts than raw volume.

Due to the nature of the brand (women's intimates), we seek someone with visual taste and real empathy for the modern consumer — fit, comfort, body-positive storytelling, and the aesthetic precision required to build authentic brand trust on camera.

The Role

You will own end-to-end video editing and AI-assisted production for [Employer]’s global growth engine. You will turn briefs, raw footage, UGC, product shoots, and motion assets into high-converting ads and marketplace video — then systematically test hooks, cuts, and formats so winning creative scales across channels.

This is an edit-only seat: you will not be required to shoot or direct talent. You will be both a craft editor and an AI power user — obsessive about timing, typography, color, and brand consistency, and relentless about using AI to multiply quality output without lowering the bar.

You will report to [Employer]’s marketing / creative leadership (Head of Marketing or Creative Lead).

What You'll Own

• Performance Video Production: Cut short-form and mid-form video for Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and TikTok Shop — hooks in the first 1–3 seconds, tight pacing, captions, and platform-native formats. We want fewer, sharper versions that are ready to test and scale, not a flood of average cuts.
• AI-Accelerated Workflows: Champion and operationalize AI video tools (e.g. Runway, Kling, Pika, CapCut/Jianying AI, ElevenLabs, Midjourney/image-to-video, Claude/ChatGPT for scripts and iterations) to generate smart variants, clean footage, localize, and raise quality and speed — with human QA on every ship.
• Marketplace & Listing Video: Produce and refresh Amazon A+/storefront video, Shopify PDP and lifestyle cuts, and channel-specific assets that stay on-brand and conversion-focused.
• Creative Testing System: Build a documented testing cadence (hooks, offers, testimonials, fit/comfort claims, CTAs). Tag, version, and hand off winners to media buyers with clear naming and brief notes on what changed.
• Brand Taste & Intimates Standards: Protect visual quality, model portrayal, and compliance for women's intimates (tasteful framing, hygiene/fit sensitivity, region-specific ad policies).
• Cross-Functional Rhythm: Partner with marketing leadership, media buyers, designers, and copywriters during Shenzhen hours; take briefs, flag what’s missing, and turn around revisions fast.

What You Bring

Required (Must-Haves):

• 5+ years of professional video editing, with 2+ years in performance creative, e-commerce, or social ads (DTC or marketplaces).
• AI Champion & Power User: Hands-on, current experience with modern AI video/image/audio tools and automated edit workflows — not “curious,” but shipping with them weekly.
• Craft Mastery: Expert in at least one professional NLE (Premiere Pro, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve, or CapCut/Jianying at a professional standard), plus motion typography, color, sound design, and captioning.
• Portfolio of shipped ads or social/video work with clear before/after or performance context (hook tests, CTR/thumb-stop, iterative versions). We will judge taste and conversion-mindedness, not reel length.
• Obsessive attention to detail: frame-accurate cuts, clean audio, typo-free on-screen text, consistent brand kits, and zero broken exports or wrong aspect ratios.
• Fluent English (Mandatory): Full professional proficiency in spoken and written English to join Shenzhen-hours standups, take global briefs, mark up versions, and work with a distributed marketing team.
• Comfort editing women's fashion, beauty, or intimates/body-close product content with taste and respect.
• Ability to work full-time as a contractor, with reliable internet, your own edit setup, and consistent overlap with Shenzhen (UTC+8).

Strongly Preferred (Pluses):

• Based in the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, or a closely aligned time zone.
• Direct experience supporting Amazon, Shopify DTC, and TikTok Shop creative in the same org.
• Motion design (After Effects / equivalent).
• Experience building SOPs, templates, and AI prompt libraries other editors can run.

Who You Are

• AI-Forward Editor: You use AI to raise quality and kill grunt work — then you personally protect taste and brand.
• Detail-Obsessed: You catch a bad crop, a mistimed caption, or an off-brand color grade before it hits ads manager.
• Performance-Minded: You edit for hooks, retention, and conversion, not only for a beautiful timeline.
• High-Velocity Collaborator: You take feedback without drama and turn around the next cut the same day when the test calendar demands it.

What We Offer

• $2,000-3,000 USD per month + performance bonus, as a full-time contractor.
• Direct partnership with marketing / creative leadership, and a clear path to Creative Lead for the right operator.
• Opportunity to define [Employer]’s AI video production system, with global creative scope, from a remote SEA base.
