About

We are a fast-growing European e-commerce company producing high-performing video ads across multiple EU markets.
We're looking for a strong video editor who is ready to step into a leadership role and manage a small production team.
This is a full-time position (40 hours/week), not a freelance side gig.
You'll combine:
- Hands-on creative oversight
- Team leadership
- Structured production management
If you're an experienced editor who has already helped guide others or wants to grow into that role — this is for you.
Work Structure
- Full-time (40 hours/week)
- Strong overlap with 8:00–17:00 CET required
- Long-term position
- Strong preference for candidates from Eastern Europe
What You'll Be Responsible For
1) Leading a Small Video Team
- Manage 5 team members (growing up to 8)
- Run weekly 1-on-1s
- Join team calls
- Follow up on tasks
- Keep output moving
- Make sure nothing gets stuck
This is active leadership — not just creative feedback.
2) Overseeing Video Production (2 Main Pipelines)
We produce video ads in two ways:
A) Localization / Translation (~50%)
- Take winning English ads
- Translate & adapt them to other EU markets
- AI voice generation
- Editing in tools like CapCut
- Final quality control before launch
B) Script → New Video Production (~50%)
- Receive script from copywriter
- Build full video using AI tools and structured workflow
- Align with strategist
- Finalize and prepare for launch
You will oversee both pipelines and ensure quality + speed.
3) Quality Control
Before anything goes live, you review it.
You check:
- Hook strength
- Pacing & retention
- Translation accuracy
- Market fit
- Overall performance potential
If it's not good enough — it doesn't ship.
Who This Role Is For
You are a strong fit if:
- You have solid experience editing video ads (direct-response is a big plus)
- You understand pacing, hooks, and retention
- You've managed freelancers or small teams before
- You're organized and comfortable using tools like Asana
- You want more responsibility than "just editing"
- You care about performance, not just aesthetics
- You can reliably work CET hours long-term
This Role Is NOT For You If
- You only want to edit and avoid management
- You dislike structure or accountability
- You prefer fully flexible freelance work
- You can't work CET hours
To Apply
Please include:
1) Your experience editing performance-driven video ads
2) Any leadership or team management experience
3) Examples of your work
4) Your time zone + confirmation you can work 40h/week with CET overlap
Why This Role Is Interesting
- You lead a real team
- Your decisions impact revenue
- You grow into a bigger leadership role over time
- You work inside a structured performance company — not random client work
Contract duration of more than 6 months. with 40 hours per week.
Mandatory skills: Social Media Marketing, AI-Generated Video
