Senior Video Editor – Patient Uplift
Short-Form Video Editor for High-Converting Vertical Ads (Medical Aesthetics) — Retention Obsessed
Summary
About the work
We’re a leading marketing agency producing short-form vertical video ads / Meta) for plastic surgery, dental clients. These are direct-response ads — every frame has to earn attention and drive consults. We need an editor who understands the clients demographics and that the hook and the first 3 seconds and decide everything, and who treats on-screen text like it’s going on a billboard: zero typos, ever.
What you’ll do
Edit 9:16 vertical ads (~20–60s) from raw talking-head footage, b-roll, and stock.
Build scroll-stopping hooks: visual + verbal + on-screen text working together in the first 2 seconds.
Add burned-in keyword captions that are accurate, high-contrast, and emphasize the right word.
Assemble to a proven structure: Hook ? Problem ? Mechanism ? Proof (reviews/credentials) ? CTA.
Maintain brand consistency across a set (same fonts, colors, lower-thirds, end card).
Produce hook variations of the same ad for A/B testing.
Self-QC every export against our checklist before delivery.
You must be excellent at (non-negotiable)
Retention editing. Fast, motivated cuts (every ~1.5–3s), pattern interrupts, no slow intros, hook on screen in under 2s.
Caption accuracy. You proof every caption against the audio.
Spelling + names. Medical terms, brand names, and doctor names must be correct everywhere (coat, lower-third, end card, file name).
Topic clarity. A muted viewer should know what’s being advertised (e.g., "facelift," "veneers") in the first 2 seconds — in the text, not just the voiceover.
Clean compositions. No glitchy/floating picture-in-picture, no mismatched scale, no elements covering faces or the key result.
Hook ? audio match. On-screen text must reinforce the spoken hook, not be a random mid-sentence fragment.
The mistakes we will NOT accept (we’re hiring to stop these):
Typos / unproofed auto-captions (EXCELENT, DEEP PLAYING, missing apostrophes).
Wrong or mismatched names (a testimonial naming the wrong doctor; misspelled surnames).
Hooks with no topic signal for muted viewers.
Weak/no CTA, or end cards missing phone/URL/location.
Reusing template modules with errors baked in
Floating-PIP / "pasted on" composites that look amateurish.
Inconsistent fonts/colors/accent highlights across a set.
Nice to have
Experience with medical/aesthetic, beauty, or DR/UGC ad accounts.
Knowledge of Meta ad creative rules (e.g., before/after restrictions, "results vary").
Motion graphics / clean text animation; sound design.
Bilingual caption experience (English/Spanish) a plus.
How to apply (read carefully — we filter on this):
Send 2–3 vertical short-form ad samples you personally edited (link to the work).
In one sentence, tell us what makes a hook stop the scroll.
Start your reply with the word "PROOFED" so we know you read this.
