About The Position

NewsBreak’s NDot AI is building a mini-drama (short drama) business and is hiring two Short Drama Creative Editor Interns, one in the SF Bay Area and one in Beijing. The interns will edit and quality-check trailers and paid ad creatives that bring viewers to the dramas. The internship lasts 3–6 months and requires at least 24 hours per week. The role reports to the Design Lead; creative requests and scheduling come from the Performance Marketing Lead.

The intern will edit short dramas into 15–60 second trailers and paid ads in a vertical 9:16 format, ensuring a strong hook in the first three seconds. Creatives run on Meta, TikTok, Google ads, and in-app recommendations. The intern will also quality-check partner-submitted creatives, produce weekly variants guided by the performance marketing team’s test plan, and improve them based on CTR and CPI results. Additional work includes creating highlight clips and recap or commentary videos for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram, maintaining a regular posting schedule, and using AI tools and reusable templates to speed up editing workflows.
