We're looking for a performance-driven Editor / Storyboard Writer who understands what makes ads convert. This is a primarily storyboard-focused role — you will define the visual and narrative structure of high-performing paid social ads — with editing as a secondary skill used to execute or refine your own concepts.
This role sits at the intersection of performance marketing and creative production. You think in hooks, pattern interrupts, and retention drivers, and you translate that instinct into clear, actionable storyboards that editors and actors can execute without guesswork.
Storyboard Creation
Create performance-driven storyboards for paid social ads — defining the full visual flow of each concept: talking head, B-roll, actions, hooks, and on-screen text.
Specify exactly what the actor is doing and showing in every moment — your storyboards should be executable without additional direction.
Provide clear guidance to editors on what to do: include stock footage, generate with AI, add motion graphics, etc.
Develop strong hooks, angles, and ad structures based on what's currently working across Meta and other platforms.
Creative Strategy
Think in scroll-stopping moments, pattern interrupts, and retention drivers — and build those into every concept.
Iterate concepts based on performance data and creative feedback.
Stay on top of trends, formats, and winning ad patterns across DTC and direct-response categories.
Collaborate closely with marketing, editors, and copywriters to improve results.
Editing
Edit ads when needed to execute or refine your own storyboard concepts.
Use Adobe Premiere Pro as the primary editing tool, with After Effects as needed.
Use AI tools (avatars, voice, generative video, etc.) to supplement and enhance creative output.
Proven experience creating storyboards for paid social or direct-response ads.
Strong understanding of performance marketing and direct-response principles — hooks, hold rate, retention, CTR.
Experience with DTC brands or UGC-style ad formats.
Strong instinct for what feels native to each platform — Meta, TikTok, YouTube.
Familiarity with current ad trends and winning formats.
Comfortable using AI creative tools — avatars, voice generation, generative video, and similar.
Solid video editing skills — Adobe Premiere Pro required; After Effects a plus.
Strong written English — clear, concise, and conversion-focused. Your storyboard copy needs to perform.
Ability to work fast, handle multiple concepts simultaneously, and iterate without losing quality.
This isn’t just an editing role, it’s an opportunity to become a stronger performance creative, understand what makes ads convert at scale, and grow within a fast-moving creative team
Learn directly from performance data - see which ads are winning, understand why they’re working, and use those insights to improve your own creative decisions.

Work with the latest AI creative tools - get access to leading AI video, image, voice, and generation platforms and learn how to integrate them into real-world performance creative.
