Overview
Social Media Video Editor — Ad Creatives & Paid Social Jobs in United States at Commerce Social
About Us
Commerce Social is a high-performing TikTok Badged Partner Agency. We deliver TikTok & TikTok Shop services for DTC e-commerce brands built to convert — and we're scaling fast. If you're the kind of editor who obsesses over hook rates, studies why ads stop the scroll, and gets genuinely excited watching a creative drive sales and appointments, keep reading.
About the Role
We're looking for a Social Media Video Editor who can do two things exceptionally well: craft high-conversion TikTok content and produce performance-driven ad creatives built to generate leads and drive sales across Meta (Facebook & Instagram) and TikTok.
You'll be editing for real business outcomes: thumb-stops, click-throughs, add-to-carts, and purchases and appointments.
What You'll Actually Be Doing
On a daily basis you will:
- Cut multiple ad variants from a shared footage pool, testing different hooks, formats, and CTAs.
- Produce creatives across the top-performing Meta ad formats — including UGC-style testimonials, problem/solution story arcs, listicle ads, founder story formats, and before/after transformations.
- Edit fast-paced, thumb-stopping TikTok content that feels native to the platform — not like an ad.
- Build static and motion graphic assets (carousels, stills, short-form reels) optimized for Meta feed, Stories, and Reels placements.
- Apply direct-response editing principles: strong hooks in the first 2–3 seconds, clear value props, social proof integration, and hard-hitting CTAs.
- Follow creative briefs to produce original content for clients across varying niches.
- Collaborate with the Creative Strategist to review performance data and iterate — understanding why a creative worked or didn't, and applying those learnings immediately.
- Act on revision rounds quickly and accurately.
The Ad Creative Styles You'll Need to Know
We run high-volume paid creative for Meta and TikTok. You should be fluent in — or fast to learn — these proven formats:
- Hook-first UGC — Raw, authentic-feeling footage with punchy captions and fast cuts
- Pain-point agitation ads — Opens with a relatable problem, builds tension, delivers the solution
- Social proof stacks — Review overlays, comment screenshots, testimonial montages
- Listicle/numbered ads — "3 reasons why…" structure with strong on-screen text
- Founder/brand story — Narrative-driven, slightly longer-form for warmer audiences
- Demo + result ads — Product in action → outcome, great for TikTok Shop
- Text-heavy scroll-stoppers — Bold typography-led creatives optimised for silent viewing
- Trend-jacked content — Native TikTok audio and formats applied to brand messaging
You'll Need
- Strong proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects
- Demonstrable experience editing paid social ad creatives (Meta and/or TikTok — portfolio required)
- A solid understanding of direct-response creative principles (hooks, CTAs, retention curves)
- Familiarity with Meta Ads Manager creative best practices (aspect ratios, text limits, placement specs)
- Experience creating or editing UGC-style content that doesn't look like an ad
- Curiosity, initiative, and a genuine hunger to grow
- Excellent time management — we move fast
- A reliable laptop/PC and stable internet connection
- Excellent English (briefs and team calls are all in English)
We Offer
- Competitive pay
- A pathway to full-time
- Real ownership over your creative output — your work directly influences client revenue
- A collaborative, ideas-led environment where your voice matters
- The opportunity to grow vertically into creative strategy or laterally across disciplines
The Process
We want to make sure we're a great fit for each other. Here's how it works:
- Application review
- A quick 15-minute intro call
- A small paid skills task
