Performance Marketing Video Editor
Location: [Remote / Hybrid / On-Site — San Diego] Type: [Full-Time / Contract] Team: Creative Reports to: Creative Manager
About the Role
We're a performance-driven creative team building paid social and direct-response content for fast-growing DTC and e-commerce brands. Our ads don't just look good — they're built to win at the auction, measured against real numbers, and iterated relentlessly.
We're hiring a Performance Marketing Video Editor who lives at the intersection of storytelling and conversion data. You'll cut scroll-stopping ads for Meta, YouTube, and Native platforms, spin up rapid creative variations to test hooks and angles, and use modern AI video tools to produce more high-quality concepts, faster, than a traditional edit bay ever could.
If you get a genuine thrill out of watching a hook's hold rate climb because of an edit you made — and you're already experimenting with AI UGC and generative video — this role is built for you.
What You'll Do
- Cut high-converting direct-response ads for Meta (Facebook/Instagram), Google (YouTube/Display), and Native platforms — optimized for hold rate, CTR, and ROAS, not just aesthetics.
- Produce AI-assisted video at scale. Use generative video and AI UGC tools to create new creative concepts, including realistic AI presenters with accurate lip-sync and audio, and consistent characters across spots up to 60 seconds. (Experience with tools like Runway, Seedance, Kling, Sora, Google Flow, HeyGen, or similar is a major plus.)
- Build creative variations for testing — multiple hooks, CTAs, intros, and messaging angles per concept so the media team always has fresh iterations in rotation.
- Hook viewers in the first 3 seconds using quick-cut pacing, pattern interrupts, and proven scroll-stopper structures.
- Polish for the platform with sharp sound design, captions, text overlays, and motion graphics that lift engagement and retention.
- Repurpose raw footage, UGC, and long-form content into platform-native short-form ads that map to specific funnel stages.
- Work the data. Review creative performance (CTR, CVR, ROAS, hold rate, thumb-stop rate) and let the metrics drive your next round of edits.
- Collaborate closely with media buyers, strategists, and copywriters on audience insights, product positioning, and funnel strategy.
- Stay current on platform formats, trends, and ad-policy/compliance requirements across channels.
What Success Looks Like
- First 30 days: You're shipping clean, on-brief edits with fast turnaround and learning our brands, accounts, and creative testing process.
- First 90 days: You're independently producing testable creative variations, incorporating AI video into your workflow, and proposing hooks and angles based on what the data is telling us.
- Ongoing: Your edits consistently produce winners that scale — and you have the analytics to show it.
What You Bring
- 2–4 years editing video for paid social and performance marketing (agency or in-house DTC/ecommerce experience strongly preferred).
- Expert command of Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects (or Final Cut Pro / DaVinci Resolve), plus hands-on experience with AI image and video generation tools.
- A real understanding of direct-response advertising — hooks, angles, offer structure, and the psychology of what makes people stop, watch, and convert.
- Channel fluency: you've edited specifically for Meta Ads Manager, Google Ads (YouTube), and Native networks, and you understand the spec and behavior differences between them.
- Speed without sloppiness — you thrive on quick turnarounds and iterative cycles.
- A portfolio of high-performing ad creative, ideally with the campaign results or metrics to back it up.
Bonus Points
- UGC-style ad production experience.
- Working knowledge of A/B testing frameworks and creative optimization cycles.
- Strong motion graphics and light animation chops.
- A track record collaborating directly with media buyers, performance marketers, and copywriters.

Tips for Your Remote Video Editor Job Search
Tailor your reel to each application
Cut a version of your portfolio reel that leads with the style of work the employer actually produces. A studio hiring for branded content does not want to open with your narrative short film. Match the first 30 seconds to their output.
List your NLEs and plugins explicitly
Name every non-linear editing system you know, including Premiere Pro, Avid, DaVinci Resolve, and Final Cut, and call out key plugins like Boris FX or Motion Array. Applicant tracking systems filter on these exact strings before a human reads your resume.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists video editor openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Filter openings by post-production stack
When searching for roles, prioritize listings that name your primary editing software and the delivery format you know best, whether broadcast, streaming, or social. Mismatched technical stacks slow down hiring and shrink your chances of moving past the reel review stage.
Prepare a specific breakdown of your editing process
Interviewers for video editor roles routinely ask how you approach an assembly cut or manage revision rounds with a director. Walk through one real project from rough cut to final export, naming the decisions you made on pacing, audio sync, and color handoff.
Negotiate around deliverables, not just title
When you receive an offer, ask specifically about revision limits per project, turnaround expectations, and whether you retain any usage rights for your reel. These terms affect your day-to-day workload more than a title bump and are negotiable before you sign.
Remote Video Editor Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote video editor job?
Target companies that already run distributed teams, since they hire remotely by default and know how to onboard someone they never meet in person. Remote video editor employers screen hard for self-direction and clear written communication on top of the core skills, so show evidence you can own work without someone over your shoulder. Apply to the openings above that match your experience.
Which companies hire remote video editors?
Employers currently hiring remote video editors include Deloitte, Collabera, and Kikoff, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Remote-first firms and large companies running distributed teams post the most remote video editor roles.
Can you get a remote video editor job with no experience?
Yes, but it is harder than an on-site role, because remote work expects you to operate independently from the start. Entry-level remote video editor openings do exist, especially at remote-first companies, and a portfolio of real work helps more than a long resume. Applying broadly to the roles that fit improves your odds.
Do you need a degree for remote video editor jobs?
Not always. Many employers hire remote video editors on demonstrated skills and prior work rather than a specific degree, though some larger companies still prefer one. Showing relevant results matters more than a credential for most remote video editor roles.
