The Role

We’re looking for a Performance Video Editor to help us build a high-performing video advertising engine in the USA. You’ll be at the center of our acquisition marketing, creating and optimizing short-form video content for Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and other platforms — all designed to drive leads and fuel growth.

What You’ll Do

• Edit, optimize, and scale video ads that perform — testing variations, analyzing results, and doubling down on what converts.
• Build creative specifically for performance marketing campaigns.
• Collaborate tightly with our USA Marketing team and Center of Digital Excellence to develop and test new creative strategies.
• Use AI and emerging tools to scale video advertising globally, increasing both speed and output without compromising quality.
• Support broader social video content needs as we stand up our dedicated video advertising function.
• Stay on top of trends and platform best practices, ensuring our creative is always fresh, native, and competitive.

What Success Looks Like

• Consistently driving down CPL and pushing up CTR, CVR, and other core performance metrics.
• Rapid, high-volume output — constantly iterating, testing, and learning at pace.
• Bold creative experimentation, with a steady stream of new ideas that unlock fresh acquisition angles.
• Building a scalable video advertising engine that delivers reliable, measurable lead flow.
• Becoming the go-to partner for our performance marketing and innovation teams — turning creative into growth.

You’ll Need

• Proven experience editing social-first video content for performance marketing (Meta, TikTok, YouTube, etc.).
• Strong portfolio of high-engagement, high-conversion ads or short-form video content.
• Deep understanding of what makes content “stop the scroll” and convert in a paid social environment.
• Ability to move fast, test constantly, and balance creative instincts with data-driven decision-making.
• Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Final Cut, or similar tools.

Why work for Crimson?
