About The Position

RYZE is seeking a performance-minded AI Video Editor to enhance its paid social advertising efforts on Meta. This role is highly executional and fast-paced, operating at the intersection of performance marketing, video editing, and generative AI. The editor will transform raw footage, scripts, concepts, and creative briefs into high-performing social ads, utilizing both traditional editing techniques and advanced AI tools for video, image, voice, and creative generation. The company is particularly interested in candidates who actively experiment with and understand the application of AI tools like Higgsfield, Kling, and OpenArt for performance advertising. This is not solely a brand-focused editing position; emphasis is placed on performance, speed, experimentation, iteration, and creative problem-solving.

Requirements

• 2+ years of hands-on video editing experience, ideally in performance marketing, paid social, DTC, or e-commerce.
• Proven experience creating short-form paid social ads for platforms such as Meta.
• A strong portfolio demonstrating performance-driven creative and AI animation - not just polished brand videos.
• Strong proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro; working knowledge of After Effects and Photoshop.
• Experience with tools such as Higgsfield, Kling, OpenArt, Veo3, or similar AI creative platforms.
• A strong understanding of how to use AI-generated content in service of advertising performance, rather than simply creating visually impressive AI videos.
• Strong understanding of hooks, pacing, retention, storytelling, captions, sound design, and direct-response creative.

Responsibilities

• Edit raw footage into high-quality, conversion-focused social ads for Meta.
• Transform scripts, concepts, storyboards, and creative briefs into compelling short-form ads.
• Use generative AI to create and enhance video, images, animations, product visuals, backgrounds, transitions, b-roll, and other creative assets.
• Explore and actively use AI video and creative tools such as Higgsfield, Kling, OpenArt, and emerging platforms to develop new advertising concepts.
• Create multiple creative variations quickly, including different hooks, openings, visual concepts, pacing, CTAs, and messaging.
• Add captions, sound design, music, transitions, effects, b-roll, and motion graphics to maximize engagement and clarity.
• Develop strong first 1-3 second hooks designed to stop the scroll.
• Maintain strong pacing, flow, timing, and visual hierarchy optimized for paid social performance.
• Write and apply clear, accurate, compelling English captions and on-screen messaging.
• Use Adobe Premiere Pro as the primary editing tool, with After Effects and Photoshop as needed.
• Manage multiple ads and creative iterations simultaneously while maintaining speed and quality.
• Incorporate creative feedback quickly and efficiently.
• Review basic performance metrics such as thumb-stop rate, hold rate, CTR, and conversion performance to inform future creative iterations.
• Turn performance insights into new creative tests and variations.
• Stay ahead of emerging AI video, animation, and creative-generation technologies and identify tools that can improve RYZE’s creative output.
