About Awesomely
Awesomely is an award-winning online education company empowering aspiring investors and entrepreneurs through world-class training programs. With students around the globe and recognition as one of the fastest-growing online publishers in the U.S., we help people level up their finances and lives through real estate, stocks, crypto, and entrepreneurship.
About The Role
We’re looking for a flexible, technically savvy Video Editor to help us craft high-performing, scroll-stopping video ads across YouTube, Meta, TikTok, and more. You’ll edit content that drives real business results—whether it’s leads, purchases, or signups.
Direct response (DR) experience is a plus, but not required—you’ll develop the “eye” for it over time. If you’re adaptable, fast-learning, and ready to grind and grow, this could be your next big opportunity.

What You’ll Do
- Edit and produce direct response video ads (short and long form) optimized for conversions, CTR, and retention.
- Collaborate closely with media buyers, copywriters, and funnel teams to align creative with campaign goals.
- Add motion graphics, animated text, transitions, and sound effects tailored to platform trends (e.g., TikTok fast cuts, YouTube hooks).
- Create A/B testing variants and ensure assets integrate seamlessly with landing pages and VSLs.
- Manage raw footage, UGC clips, and stock assets—keeping everything organized for reuse.
- Stay ahead of trends in direct response creative and platform algorithms.
- Apply color grading and audio refinement to polish every video.
- Iterate rapidly based on performance data (scroll stop rate, ROAS, EPC) and feedback.
- 1-3+ years of video editing experience (Premiere preferred; CapCut is easy to learn).
- Previous DR, info-product, or ecom editing experience is a plus, but not mandatory.
- Technically inclined and comfortable learning new editing styles, tools, and workflows.
- Flexible mindset, willing to grind, take feedback, and iterate fast.
- Strong organizational skills and attention to detail under tight deadlines.
- Portfolio of past work (personal projects welcome if no DR ads yet).
- Bonus: If you’ve edited for direct response, understand hooks/CTAs, or love analyzing what makes an ad work, you’ll level up even faster.
- Shape the creative direction of a brand impacting 220,000+ students worldwide.
- Access real-time performance data to refine your craft and see direct ROI from your work.
- Competitive salary, health benefits, unlimited PTO, and 401K matching.
- Join a supportive and talented team obsessed with personal and professional growth and creating amazing videos!
