Video Editor (m/w/d)

Role Summary

Your cuts decide whether you win or lose

RocketAds is a performance marketing agency from Germany. We run meta and TikTok ads for brands in health, beauty, supplements and finance - from beauty companies to fast-growing D2C brands. With us, your video doesn't end up in feed nirvana: it goes live with a real budget, and the numbers tell you every day whether your cut works.

Responsibilities

• You cut direct response video ads for Meta (Facebook/Instagram) and TikTok: UGC style, talking head and VSL formats
• For each concept you create one main video plus several hook variants and short versions (e.g. 30-40 seconds)
• You actively incorporate B-roll, graphics, captions and product visuals - we don't have rigid talking heads without visual sequences
• You combine real creator footage with AI-generated material (e.g. Arcads, Higgsfield)
• You implement mandatory texts and asterisk notices cleanly (health compliance)
• You work with clear briefings: script as Doc, footage in Drive, task in ClickUp - communication takes place via Slack

Requirements

• Experience in editing social ads / short-form content (Premiere Pro, After Effects, CapCut or comparable)
• Direct response understanding: The first 3 seconds are crucial. You cut for retention, not aesthetic prices.
• Speed and reliability: Deadlines are not a recommendation for us. If an ad needs to go live on Tuesday, it will be ready on Tuesday.
• Attention to detail: You read briefings completely and present products correctly
• Independence: You ask the right questions at the start - and then deliver without having to call anyone afterwards
• Bonus: You love AI video tools and new workflows instead of fearing them

Benefits

• 100% remote and free scheduling
• Direct feedback from media buyers: You get hook rates and performance data back for your videos
• Steep learning curve in Performance Creative: You are one of the few editors who see the real numbers behind your cuts
• Short distances, quick decisions, no marathon meetings
• Regular events, meetings and further training

For us, your cuts decide whether you win or lose and that's exactly why you get responsibility, data and honest feedback instead of agency politics.
