Senior Video Editor — Fully Remote
About the role
CoTrain is hiring on behalf of a DTC fashion brand spending $15,000+/day on Meta and scaling hard. They need a senior short-form video editor who produces ads that convert — not just videos that look good. CoTrain is a vetted marketplace that connects companies with elite, pre-screened talent, so you go straight to real work.
What the role looks like
You produce short-form video ads from written briefs. Batches typically run 60–90 seconds with two to three hook variations on a shared body, and longer formats like mini-VSLs (3–4 minutes) are part of the mix. You work the brief closely, with a strong eye for hook and pacing — the goal is always an ad that converts.
- Produce a minimum of two batches per day on standard formats
- Build multiple hook variations on a shared body
- Work directly with the creative strategist and take structured feedback via Frame.io on every batch
- Cut for performance — hook, pacing, and retention over polish for its own sake
What we're looking for
- Solid DTC / direct-response video editing experience
- Comfortable with AI generation tools — Higgsfield, ElevenLabs, Kling, or similar
- Able to execute briefs precisely without constant hand-holding
- Curious about why an ad performs, not just how to edit it
- Someone who wants to eventually grow into creative strategy
Performance & reward
This brand currently spends over $15,000/day on Meta. Every ad you produce that scales triggers a performance bonus based on cumulative spend, up to $800 per creative — and tiers stack, so a single winning ad can generate up to $1,550 in bonuses on top of your base. Strong output translates directly into additional income; they have no interest in keeping a strong editor underpaid.
Compensation
Up to $7,500/month base depending on experience and output, plus stacking performance bonuses on winning ads (up to $1,550 per creative). Fully remote, ongoing (6+ months), with a path to grow into creative strategy.
