Opvia is hiring an experienced Performance Video Editor to work directly with a UK consumer brand’s creative and marketing team.
We’re looking for someone who understands how to turn creator footage, product clips and customer testimonials into compelling video ads—combining strong storytelling with hooks, pacing and clear calls to action that encourage people to take the next step.
Hands-on experience editing paid social ads is essential. Experience creating TikTok ad creative is strongly preferred.
What you’ll do
- Edit conversion-focused video ads for TikTok, Instagram and Facebook, adapting each edit to the platform and audience.
- Turn raw UGC, creator footage, product demonstrations, testimonials and brand assets into engaging short-form ads.
- Develop strong opening hooks, clear messaging, retention-focused pacing and effective calls to action.
- Create different hooks, storytelling angles and versions of an ad for creative testing—not just changes to captions or music.
- Work with the creative and marketing team to translate briefs into finished ads and suggest ways to strengthen scripts, footage selection and execution.
- Refine existing ads using performance feedback, identifying what to change in the opening, structure, length or messaging.
- Add captions, motion graphics, sound design and colour correction while keeping the content natural and aligned with the brand.
- Manage multiple briefs, feedback rounds and organised project files, delivering consistently to deadlines.
What we’re looking for
- 4+ years of professional video editing experience, including 2+ years creating paid social or direct-response video ads.
- A portfolio showing ads you personally edited for DTC, ecommerce or consumer brands.
- Strong experience editing UGC, talking-head, testimonial and product-led content into advertising creative.
- An understanding of what makes an effective ad: a strong opening, a clear benefit, convincing supporting content and a relevant call to action.
- Confidence creating multiple creative variations and explaining the thinking behind your editing decisions.
- Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve, with the ability to create supporting motion graphics. After Effects and CapCut experience are valuable.
- Strong written and spoken English, attention to detail and confidence collaborating directly with an international team.
- Ability to own an edit from the initial brief through to final delivery.
Particularly relevant experience
- Editing videos that have actually run as TikTok paid ads, with an understanding of creator-led content that feels natural on the platform.
- Working with UK or US audiences, either within a brand or through an agency.
- Experience in wellness, food and beverage, beauty, lifestyle or other consumer product categories.
- Using creative performance feedback—such as hook rate, watch time, click-through rate or conversion results—to improve subsequent edits.
- Contributing to hooks, scripts, creative concepts or filming guidance.
- Using AI tools thoughtfully to support editing and production.
