Direct-Response Video Editor VSLs — Part-Time

We are a fast-growing e-commerce health & wellness brand. We sell a red-light therapy device that helps women over 50 relieve hip pain caused by menopause. We sell through native-style video ads (VSLs) on Meta and are scaling fast.

We are looking for a skilled DIRECT-RESPONSE VIDEO EDITOR to turn our scripts into high-converting VSLs. You will NOT write copy — we deliver the full script, the hooks, and part of the video material. Your job is to make it convert.

WHAT YOU WILL DO
- Edit 2–4 VSLs per week (we start with 2, then scale based on results)
- Turn our scripts, hooks and beat-mapping into finished, polished video ads
- Generate and sync voiceover using ElevenLabs (script delivered in English, beat-mapped exactly)
- Add captions, B-roll, pacing, sound design and visual hooks that hold attention
- Source extra B-roll or simple motion graphics when needed
- Iterate fast on winning angles when we ask for variations
(We expect roughly 8–10 hours per VSL.)

MUST-HAVE SKILLS
- Proven DIRECT-RESPONSE editing experience — you have edited VSLs or native ads for a real e-commerce brand before (not just YouTube/social content)
- Strong editing skills in CapCut
- ElevenLabs voiceover generation and clean audio sync
- Animated / word-by-word captions (CapCut auto-captions or Submagic)
- Fluent English (required — all communication and beat-mapping is in English)
- Strong sense of pacing, retention and hook structure for direct-response ads

NICE-TO-HAVE (BIG PLUS)
- Understanding German is a MASSIVE advantage (our audience is German-speaking)
- Adobe Premiere Pro / After Effects for cleaner cuts and simple motion graphics
- B-roll sourcing (Storyblocks, Artgrid, etc.)
- Experience editing for a health, wellness, supplement or 50+ audience

TOOLS WE USE
CapCut, ElevenLabs, Submagic, Google Drive / ---------- , Meta Ads, Slack

HOW WE MEASURE SUCCESS
- VSLs delivered on deadline
- Editing quality and retention (hooks, pacing, captions)
- Speed of iteration on winning angles
- Ad performance — strong performers earn a bonus

WORK STYLE
High-performance, fast-moving e-commerce environment. We value ownership, speed and people who think about WHY an ad converts. Workload is project-based and flexible, but deadlines are firm. Start date: June 7th (ASAP).

HOW TO APPLY (READ CAREFULLY — this is our first filter)
Applications missing any of these will be ignored:

1) Your portfolio / reel including:
- Which brands you have worked with, and FOR HOW LONG
- What position / role you held at each
- A short clip of a VSL or native ad you edited (a cut-down sample is fine)

2) Answer in writing:
"What is the single most valuable lesson you have learned that you see again and again at every SUCCESSFUL e-commerce brand?"

3) A 60-second Loom video where you:
- Briefly introduce yourself
- Explain WHY a VSL for a woman over 50 must be edited differently than a VSL for a Gen-Z supplement audience

Apply by sending your portfolio, your written answer, and your Loom link.
