We’re hiring a Senior Video Editor to partner with our client, a DTC brand that’s disrupting the beard and haircare industry. As part of a high-growth creative marketing team, you’ll play a lead role in producing and optimizing video ad content that performs across Meta, TikTok, and YouTube.

This is a hands-on creative execution role ideal for someone who brings both storytelling instinct and a deep understanding of performance marketing principles.

Accountability

As a Senior Video Editor, your success will be measured by your ability to create high-performing, scroll-stopping ad content that drives conversions. This includes owning the creative pipeline from concept to final export, analyzing ad performance, and iterating based on feedback and results. Here’s how you’ll make an impact:

Video Editing & Campaign Execution

• Develop new ad concepts and prioritize video ideas based on strategic guidance.
• Edit engaging video creatives for paid channels, tailoring content for Meta, YouTube, and TikTok.
• Create multiple variations of each video to test hooks, structures, lengths, and formats.
• Incorporate direct response storytelling, product benefits, and strong CTA placement.

Performance-Driven Creative Optimization

• Analyze key video performance metrics (e.g., thumbstop rate, hold rate, CTR, CAC).
• Use data insights to revise pacing, messaging, and visual structure.
• Collaborate with the marketing team to identify what’s working, why, and what to test next.
• Scale successful concepts into long-form or multi-platform campaigns.
  

Content Reuse & Asset Management

• Repurpose existing footage for new concepts while maintaining freshness.
• Incorporate UGC, product shots, testimonials, and graphics for maximum engagement.
• Use overlays, captions, and motion design to enhance storytelling without clutter.
• Manage and organize creative files to support efficient production workflows.

Colleagues

You’ll be embedded within a small, collaborative creative team. You’ll work closely with strategists, content creators, and other stakeholders to ensure the delivery of high-quality, high-converting creative.

At Oceans, you’ll also receive guidance and support from our Operations Manager, who will help you succeed in the role and ensure that you’re continuously growing and developing in your career.
