Sweat Pants Agency is the only performance marketing agency behind multiple Inc. #1 fastest-growing companies. We create high-performing ads for DTC brands, and we also produce a steady stream of short-form content for our founders and agency brand.

We’re looking for a Creative Performance Video Editor who can take raw footage, b‑roll, UGC, talking‑head clips, voiceovers, and creative assets — and turn them into engaging, scroll‑stopping videos for Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and social platforms.

This role combines strong editing abilities with an understanding of direct response, retention, pacing, storytelling, and creative iteration. If you understand both creative instinct and performance data and can move quickly while still producing clean, polished work — you’re a great fit.

What You’ll Do

Short‑Form Content Editing

Edit clips for TikTok, Reels, Shorts, and social content

Cut talking‑head videos into clean, engaging short‑form pieces

Add captions, punch‑ins, pacing adjustments, timing, emphasis

Repurpose long‑form footage into multiple short, high‑retention clips

Make videos feel dynamic, modern, and native to the platform

DTC Performance Ad Editing

Edit paid social ads using UGC footage, b‑roll, product shots

Add captions, motion text, hooks, pattern interrupts, sound cues

Use AI voices (ElevenLabs) to generate ad variations

Build variations for testing: new hooks, new intros, new pacing

Iterate based on performance data and creative feedback

Creative Strategy & Collaboration

Identify strong moments, hooks, and storylines within raw footage

Recommend new creative angles or structures

Stay ahead of platform trends and edit styles

Pull inspiration from winning ads and top creators

Work closely with strategists, media buyers, and creative directors

You’re a Great Fit If…

You have 2‑5+ years of video editing experience

You’re fluent in short‑form social editing (TikTok style, fast pacing, modern cuts)

You understand what makes content hold attention

You’ve edited ads or brand content for DTC, creators, or agencies

You like moving fast and iterating based on feedback

You understand hooks, retention, CTR, thumbstop, structure

You’re comfortable using:

Adobe Premiere / Final Cut / DaVinci

ElevenLabs or AI voice tools

You can bring creative ideas, not just execute edits

You communicate clearly and work well in an async environment

Nice to Have

Experience editing direct‑response ads

Understanding of Meta/TikTok ad performance metrics

Motion graphics / typography skills

Experience editing founder or expert‑style content (podcasts, social clips, reels)
