About The Position

CapsLock is a dynamic marketing company providing IT-enabled solutions for large North American partners. We specialize in scalable customer acquisition through data-driven marketing, creative production, and technology innovation. Our teams collaborate across marketing, IT, analytics, and media buying to build, test, and optimize high-performing funnels that help clients achieve predictable growth across industries such as Home Improvement, Health, Legal, and Insurance. We’re looking for an AI Team Lead Video Editor who is equal parts strong leader, project manager, systems builder, and editing geek — someone who knows how to automate workflows and achieve business goals through videos that actually sell. You will take a team of 3 to 7 editors and elevate them through mature management, strict quality control, and deep AI integration.

Requirements

• 5+ years of Leadership Experience: You have successfully managed video production/editing teams. (This is not a role for a senior editor looking for their first management gig).
• Mature Leader & Problem Solver: You build clear processes, guide your team, gracefully resolve conflicts, remain highly proactive, and stay completely open to new ideas and approaches.
• Strong Project Manager: You drive every project cleanly to the finish line. You guarantee top-tier quality, maintain absolute order, and hit strict deadlines without excuses.
• Editing Geek: Deep, hands-on expertise in the Adobe Creative Cloud suite (Premiere Pro, After Effects). You know the editing world inside out and can troubleshoot or solve any technical problem the team encounters.
• AI & Automation Geek: This is far beyond basic ChatGPT prompting. You actively track the latest AI video tools and integrate them to automate manual workflows. You know exactly how to create realistic AI avatars with perfect lip-sync, generate missing footage from scratch, and use AI to solve any production problem.
• Performance Marketing DNA: Solid understanding of short-form video ads (Meta, TikTok, YouTube Shorts). You know what keeps viewers watching and what makes a video sell.
• Fluent English — both spoken and written.

Responsibilities

• Lead, mentor, and scale a team of 3 to 7+ AI-driven video editors, identifying their core strengths and guiding them to new professional heights.
• Monitor team morale and proactively manage workloads to prevent burnout, ensuring the team’s spirit aligns with the company culture.
• Act as a strong Project Manager: own the task distribution process and handle complex project routing. Keep pipelines organized and ensure clean, on-time delivery.
• Ensure strict Quality Control (QC). Every video must meet our high standards for pacing, visual fidelity, and hook impact.
• Review, approve, and uphold internal guidelines and editing rules so the team has a clear operational framework.
• Build systematized AI workflows.
• Create structured templates using tools like Weavy to speed up the team's execution.
• Automate post-production. Build pipelines connecting task databases to AI generators, auto-delivering ready-to-edit assets directly, eliminating manual prompt copying and file downloading.
• Integrate new AI tools. Regularly test emerging AI models and implement the most effective ones into the daily workflow.
• Stay hands-on. Jump into the editing software (Adobe Suite) when needed to unblock the team, fix complex issues, or test new technical approaches.
• Build and maintain a database of top-performing creatives to systematically scale and iterate on winning concepts.
• Analyze failed creatives to understand what went wrong and make corrections for future videos.
• Work tightly with Creative Producers, Copywriters, Media Buyers, and Marketers to align on technical feasibility, negotiate deadlines, and solve bottlenecks.
• Actively participate in brainstorming sessions, pitching new visual formats and AI-driven approaches to turn creative hypotheses into reality.
