Who Will StruggleYou’ll struggle if you need extremely literal instructions before you can work.You’ll also struggle if your experience is primarily cinematic, corporate, YouTube, or organic content.And if “AI capability” means generating an avatar, dropping it into a template, and calling the ad finished, this isn’t the right environment.ApplicationShow us what you’ve actually shipped.Send:Your CVYour portfolioDTC Meta ads you personally editedYour strongest AI-video workBe prepared to walk us through your creative decisions and explain why you made them. 👉 Apply here:https://www.orgboard.co/jobs/3787256faf0944e7b7398a74ac82cbeb?src=linkedin_recruiterWe’re not hiring someone to make videos.We’re hiring an editor who makes performance creative worth putting serious Meta spend behind.Please note: due to the volume of applications, only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
