Performance Video Editor

Incubator Lab is looking for a talented Video Editor to join our thriving team, focusing on short-form paid social ads designed to drive performance across platforms such as Meta, TikTok, and YouTube.

About the role

This role is ideal for editors who understand performance-first creative, work quickly, and iterate effectively based on feedback and results. You will collaborate asynchronously with Creative Strategists and Growth teams while maintaining quality and consistency across high-volume output.

Responsibilities

• Edit short-form paid social video ads
• Iterate on creative based on performance insights
• Apply best practices around hooks, pacing, clarity, and CTAs
• Collaborate asynchronously with Creative Strategists and Growth teams
• Maintain quality and consistency across high-volume output

Requirements

• 2+ years experience specializing strictly in direct-to-consumer (D2C) and e-commerce video editing
• Portfolio showcasing high-performing paid social ad creatives and conversion-focused assets explicitly built for e-commerce brands
• Proven track record editing for health, wellness, and supplement brands
• Deeply proficient with generative AI video suites, specifically demonstrating portfolio work that features AI animations, advanced asset generation, and highly engaging talking-head enhancements
• Strong proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and Media Encoder
• Working knowledge of After Effects
• Strong fundamentals in pacing, color correction, audio mixing, and music selection
• Strong English communication skills
• Comfort working remotely in a fast-paced environment

What we’re looking for in your portfolio

• The First 3 Seconds: Examples of aggressive, scroll-stopping hooks that immediately grab attention
• UGC Integration: Proof that you can take raw, "low-fi" phone footage and edit it into a high-converting, native-feeling social ad
• Pacing & Retention: Ads that demonstrate a mastery of "pattern interrupts"—using captions, zooms, and sound design to keep viewers engaged until the CTA
• Iteration Ability: If possible, show us two versions of the same ad where you tested different hooks or visual styles

We are specifically looking for a "Performance Creative" reel—please do not send long-form documentaries, wedding films, or cinematic shorts. Bonus points if you include a link to a TikTok or Reel you’ve edited that went viral.

Schedule

Async-First. We are a global, remote team and don’t require specific working hours, provided deadlines are met and quality is top-tier. We ask for a few hours of overlap with US-based EST working hours each day to facilitate team meetings and Slack communication.
