Team: Brand Design
Location: Remote
Time Commitment: ~20–30 hours/week
Duration: 3 months (with potential to extend)
Made In is looking for a contract video editor to join our Brand Design team and help us supercharge our paid ads creative.
We’re looking for a nimble, resourceful editor who understands the world of performance, someone who knows what makes people stop scrolling and how to make it feel elevated. You’ll be embedded in the Brand Design team, working closely with Creative and Growth Marketing to deliver high-performing video ads across Meta, YouTube, TikTok, and more.
You’ll work on a range of creative, from polished cutdowns to lo-fi UGC, and bring it all to life with motion, sound, and smart editing. This role requires someone who’s scrappy, self-starting, and doesn’t need a folder of perfectly labeled assets to make great work. We move fast, we’re not always tidy, and we need someone with a bias towards action to help us get things made.
What You'll Do
- Edit and deliver short-form paid video ads optimized for Meta, YouTube, TikTok, and more
- Repurpose and re-edit existing footage into new hooks, variations, and ad formats
- Apply animation, motion graphics, and light VFX to enhance storytelling and polish
- Elevate even UGC-style content with premium editing, pacing, and sound design
- Source and mix music, voiceover, and SFX with a high bar for brand tone
- Collaborate closely with our Growth team on asset testing and iteration
- Work within ClickUp to manage timelines, tasks, and feedback cycles efficiently
- Stay sharp on best practices for each platform, and think proactively about performance
What You Bring
- 3–5+ years experience editing short-form paid content, ideally for DTC or eCommerce brands
- Expert-level proficiency in Adobe Premiere and After Effects (or equivalent tools)
- Deep understanding of performance creative — including hooks, pacing, and platform nuances
- Ability to transform UGC or raw footage into polished, high-performing ad units
- Strong instincts for design, timing, rhythm, and brand voice
- A collaborative, feedback-driven approach — and comfort moving quickly within a creative process
- A strong portfolio or reel that shows both creative thinking and performance-focused work
Nice to Have
- Experience with UGC, testimonials, or influencer-style editing
- Familiarity with tools like Frame.io, ClickUp
- Interest in or passion for food, cooking, and premium products
