About the Role
We're looking for a short-form video editor who lives and breathes TikTok and Meta (Facebook/Instagram) ad creative. This isn't a "make it look pretty" editing role — it's a performance editing role. You understand that the first 3 seconds decide everything, that a single video can be recut into 10 winning variations, and that the difference between a scroll and a sale is the hook and the angle.
You'll take our existing footage, UGC, product clips, and past creative — and turn it into thumb-stopping ads that convert.
What You'll Do
- Edit high-retention, high-engagement short-form videos for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and Meta Ads
- Write and cut strong hooks (visual + text) and test multiple hook variations per concept
- Develop and execute different creative angles for the same product (problem/solution, social proof, UGC, listicle, "TikTok made me buy it," etc.)
- Clip, repurpose, and remix existing videos and older creative into fresh, native-feeling ads
- Cut multiple variations of winning ads for A/B testing (hook swaps, different intros, aspect ratios, lengths)
- Add captions, sound design, trending audio, on-screen text, and pacing that keeps viewers watching
- Stay current on TikTok/Meta trends, formats, and what's working in the ad account
- Collaborate with the media buying / marketing team, iterating quickly based on ad performance data
- Deliver on fast turnaround timelines with a high volume of creatives
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience editing for TikTok and/or Meta Ads (please share a portfolio, reel, or examples of ads you've cut)
- Deep understanding of hooks, angles, and retention — you can explain why a video works, not just edit it
- Strong grasp of what makes short-form content native and scroll-stopping (not corporate or overproduced)
- Ability to repurpose and reframe existing footage into new, high-performing clips
- Proficiency in editing tools (CapCut, Premiere Pro, After Effects, or equivalent)
- Fast, self-directed, and comfortable producing a high volume of creative
- Bonus: experience editing direct-response / DTC e-commerce ads, working with UGC creators, or a track record of ads that actually drove results
Nice to Have
- Basic understanding of ad performance metrics (hook rate, hold rate, CTR, ROAS)
- Experience with home décor, lifestyle, or product-based brands
- Ability to source trending audio and formats before they peak

The Origins of Americanflat: Our story begins with Giorgio Piccoli, the Founder and President of Americanflat. Upon moving to New York City, Piccoli faced frustration and disappointment while attempting to decorate his small apartment with art. Confronted with exorbitant prices, he recognized the need for a brand that caters to art lovers, not just investors.

Defying Tradition: As an outsider to the art world, Piccoli had a unique perspective that allowed him to challenge the traditional gallery system. Americanflat's wall art and home décor are meticulously hand-selected, catering to individuals who share a passion for artistic expression. We believe in creating an experience that goes beyond mere decoration; our curated collections are a testament to the art lover in you.
