AI-First Video Editor for Facebook Ads - MUST Know AI Tools (HeyGen, Image Gen, ChatGPT/Claude)

Read this carefully. This is NOT a normal video editing job.

We run a direct-to-consumer e-commerce brand and produce Facebook and Instagram video ads at volume. We want ONE dedicated, long-term editor who is fluent in AI tools. If you can edit but cannot actually use AI to create, this role is not for you. Please do not apply.

You must also be fluent in English. Clear written and spoken English is required, as you will be working closely with us and reading scripts in English.

We write the scripts. Your job is to turn them into finished ads. Your footage will come from many sources: AI generation, stock and online clips, YouTube, Canva, and UGC creators. You need to be comfortable pulling from all of these and blending them into one clean, cohesive ad.

AI is the job. You must already know how to:
. Create talking-head and avatar videos with AI tools such as HeyGen (avatar selection, lip-sync, cleanup).
. Generate B-roll, scenes, and product images with AI image tools such as Nano Banana Pro or Midjourney, including writing precise prompts.
. Use AI tools to build captions and hooks.
. Combine AI footage with sourced footage (stock, YouTube, Canva, UGC) into a finished ad, not just edit clips someone hands you.

On top of AI fluency, you must edit well:
. Cut our scripts into Facebook and Instagram ads (9:16, 1:1, 4:5). Ad length varies widely, anywhere from 10 seconds to 10 minutes, so the skill is knowing where to cut and when, not hitting a fixed runtime.
. Keep it clean and simple. We do NOT want over-edited videos with heavy effects. The right cut at the right ---------- nt matters far more than fancy transitions.
. Add sound-off captions, music, and SFX where they help, nothing more.
. Nail the first three seconds (the hook) every single time.
. Use direct-response pacing: fast and punchy, NOT slow cinematic montage.

Editing tools: CapCut, Premiere, DaVinci, or After Effects.

You are not a fit if you only do cinematic, wedding, or YouTube editing, or if you have never actually used AI generation tools yourself. We will test this.

This is a full-time, long-term role. We pay monthly via bank transfer from the US (Wise, Payoneer, or similar, whatever works best for you).

How to apply (read carefully, we filter hard):
1. Start your reply with the word "SCROLL-STOP". Applications without it will be ignored.
2. List every AI tool you have personally used and exactly what you made with each. Be specific. For example: "Used HeyGen to make 40 avatar ads for a skincare brand", not "Familiar with AI".
3. Walk me through how you would take one of our 60-second scripts to a finished ad. Where do you use AI footage, where do you pull sourced footage from, and how do you build the captions?
4. Send your portfolio. It must include ads you actually made with AI tools, not just edited footage.

If you cannot answer questions 2 and 3 with real specifics, please do not apply.
