Our mission is clear: Connect world-class talent from LATAM, Europe, and beyond with the most ambitious companies in the world.
About Our Client
Our client is the #1 agency for newsletter growth, helping some of the largest personal brands, founders, and media companies in the world acquire subscribers at scale through Meta advertising.
They manage millions in ad spend and work with major personal brands, founders, and digital media companies. The team is remote-first, lean, fast-moving, and highly collaborative. Every team member has direct access to leadership, sees the impact of their work in real campaign data, and works on projects for brands most marketers only read about.

About the Role
We are looking for a Senior Video Editor to produce high-performing Meta ad creatives for some of the biggest newsletter brands in the world.
You will work alongside senior growth marketers in a fast-paced, high-volume creative environment. We are looking for someone who can make strong creative decisions independently rather than relying on exhaustive briefs.
The ideal candidate understands show, don't tell. You should instinctively know how to source relevant B-roll, graphics, screen recordings, and visual elements that support what is happening in a script.
This role will involve producing approximately 35+ videos a month, revisions included.
Responsibilities:
- Edit UGC and B-roll content into engaging ad creatives for Meta (Facebook + Instagram) and other short-form platforms
- Add captions, text overlays, and sound design to make content thumb-stopping and conversion-focused
- Create assets in multiple dimensions (1:1, 9:16, 4:5) for Meta placements—familiarity is ideal, but we can train the right candidate
- Balance creative freedom and direction; sometimes you'll get rough cuts or scripts, other times a moodboard or raw footage to run with
- Collaborate closely with creative strategists and ad buyers to quickly iterate and test variations based on performance
Accept and implement feedback quickly while maintaining high quality
- Organize and manage projects to keep timelines tight and deliverables on track**
