Editor / Storyboard Writer

COMPANY

We’re looking for a performance-driven Storyboard Writer / Video Editor who understands what makes ads convert. This role is primarily focused on creating high-performing storyboards, with editing as a secondary skill used to execute or refine concepts.

ROLE & RESPONSIBILITIES

What You’ll Do

-

Create performance-driven storyboards for social media ads

-

Define the full visual flow of each ad — talking head, B-roll, actions

-

Specify exactly what the actor is doing and showing in every moment

-

Provide clear direction to editors on what to do (include stock footage, generate with AI, etc)

-

Develop strong hooks, angles, and structures based on what’s currently working

-

Think in scroll-stopping moments, pattern interrupts, and retention drivers

-

Iterate concepts based on performance data and feedback

-

Stay on top of trends, formats, and winning ad patterns

-

Collaborate closely with marketing, editors, and copywriters to improve results

-

Edit ads when needed to execute or refine your concepts

Responsibilities will include:

Storyboard Creation

-

Create performance-driven storyboards for paid social ads — defining the full visual flow of each concept: talking head, B-roll, actions, hooks, and on-screen text.

-

Specify exactly what the actor is doing and showing in every moment — your storyboards should be executable without additional direction.

-

Provide clear guidance to editors on what to do: include stock footage, generate with AI, add motion graphics, etc.

-

Develop strong hooks, angles, and ad structures based on what's currently working across Meta and other platforms.

Creative Strategy

-

Think in scroll-stopping moments, pattern interrupts, and retention drivers — and build those into every concept.

-

Iterate concepts based on performance data and creative feedback.

-

Stay on top of trends, formats, and winning ad patterns across DTC and direct-response categories.

-

Collaborate closely with marketing, editors, and copywriters to improve results.

Editing

-

Edit ads when needed to execute or refine your own storyboard concepts.

-

Use Adobe Premiere Pro as the primary editing tool, with After Effects as needed.

-

Use AI tools (avatars, voice, generative video, etc.) to supplement and enhance creative output.

WHAT WE OFFER

What We’re Looking For

-

Experience in storyboarding for ads

-

Experience with DTC brands or UGC formats

-

Strong understanding of performance marketing and direct-response principles

-

Understanding of core performance metrics (hook rate, hold rate, retention)

-

Strong instinct for what feels native to each platform

-

Familiarity with current trends and ad formats

-

Comfortable using AI tools (avatars, voice, generative video, etc.)

-

Solid editing skills (Premiere Pro / After Effects)

-

Strong written English (clear, concise, conversion-focused)

-

Ability to work fast, iterate, and handle multiple concepts simultaneously
