THE ROLE

We’re looking for a versatile, high-performance Video Editor and Digital Designer who specializes in building paid social ads that convert. This contractor will play a key role in producing video and static content that fuels Thrive Market’s acquisition engine across Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and Snap. This is a role for a true performance-minded creative: someone who can edit compelling videos, design scroll-stopping statics, and—ideally—write sharp ad copy that drives clicks and conversions. You’ll work closely with strategists, marketers, and other creatives to transform raw footage and concepts into high-impact ad creative that performs across platforms.

This is a contract position.

  • Design static ads and concept graphics for Meta, TikTok, Snap, and YouTube using DR best practices
  • Think like a strategist: Translate briefs into performance-driven creative, combining strategy, storytelling, and aesthetic execution
  • Edit influencer and UGC footage into polished, high-converting ads without losing authenticity
  • Build ad variants for creative testing: version, iterate, and adapt top-performing ads for scale
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure creative aligns with brand voice, audience insights, and business goals
  • Contribute strategically: Suggest ideas for new formats, editing structures, and ad concepts based on platform trends and performance data
  • Work fast, smart, and with precision—managing multiple assets and deadlines while upholding a high creative bar
  • Write copy that converts: Develop on-screen text, headlines, and scripts that are optimized for platform, brand voice, and performance

    • QUALIFICATIONS
  • 3–5+ years of experience editing paid social ads and designing high-performing statics for DTC, subscription, or high-growth brands.

  • Strong portfolio showcasing direct-response video and static creative with measurable performance results.
  • Deep understanding of visual storytelling, digital design principles, and conversion psychology.
  • Ability to work autonomously and collaboratively in a fast-paced, test-and-learn environment.
  • Skilled in Adobe Premiere (After Effects a plus)
  • Skilled in Adobe Photoshop; must be comfortable with light retouching as needed (i.e. extending background of image, adjusting product placement etc.)
  • Strategic and collaborative thinker who understands the relationship between visual design and copy—comfortable contributing to light copywriting and iterating on messaging
  • Proactive and flexible mindset—equally comfortable executing fast-turnaround deliverables and participating in higher-level creative ideation
  • A strong portfolio of direct-response social ads that showcase your ability to hook, convert, and perform—especially on TikTok and Meta
  • Strong typography, layout, and color theory skills
  • Ability to work both independently and collaboratively, managing multiple projects with tight deadlines while maintaining quality of deliverables
  • Self-driven, adaptable, and eager to push creative boundaries
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex ideas into effective ad strategies.
  • Strategic, growth-oriented creative self-starter with a proven track record in paid ad creation, from brief intake to final edits.
  • A direct-response visual storyteller who understands how to hold attention, build momentum, and drive action through editing and design.
  • Fluent in platform-native content creation across TikTok, Meta, Snap, and YouTube/YT Shorts.
  • Experienced with influencer and UGC editing — you can polish raw iPhone footage into high-converting ads without losing authenticity.
  • A strategic thinker who can read a brief, understand a KPI, and build creative that ladders up to the broader business objective.
  • An efficient operator who thrives in a fast-paced, testing-heavy environment with tight deadlines and lots of iteration.
  • Highly organized and detail-oriented, capable of managing multiple projects and versions at once.
  • Exceptionally skilled at image curation, visual storytelling, typography, layout, form and color
  • A self-starter that doesn’t always wait for briefs to jump on culturally forward ideas that we can make in house.
  • Comfortable articulating design choices with strategic reasoning, tying decisions to brand goals and user experience.
  • Highly collaborative and vocal team player.
  • Bonus: You can write compelling social ad copy, headlines, and CTAs that perform in a direct-response context and/ or familiarity with Motion, Triple Whale, or creative analytics platforms
