About UsWe're a company running 7–8 figure DTC brand portfolios operating across the US, Malaysia, and the Philippines. Our growth runs through paid social - Meta and TikTok at a serious scale, which means video is at the center of everything we do. We produce a high volume of UGC-style and direct-response ad creative, and we need editors who can keep up without the output quality slipping.This isn't a passion project or a content agency. The videos we edit run as paid ads, and the numbers tell us immediately what's working and what isn't. If you're the kind of editor who gets better with every round of feedback and wants to understand why something performs, not just how it looks, this is the environment for you.We operate across multiple brands and categories, which means if needed, our editors must have the ability to switch between brand voices and audience types without losing quality or pace.The RoleYou'll be editing video content primarily for paid social - UGC ads, direct-response creatives, product-focused content, AI visuals generation, and repurposed organic clips across Meta and TikTok.
