We're looking for someone who makes things perform. As a Freelance Video Editor at Shook Digital, you'll take raw creator footage and turn it into scroll-stopping UGC ads - iterating fast, remixing creatively, and using every tool available, including AI, to ship assets that win. ## What you'll own ✂ UGC production editing - Edit raw creator footage into polished, script-accurate UGC ads. Maintain the native, platform-first feel that outperforms studio content on TikTok. ↺ Performance-driven iterations - Review ad results and iterate cuts based on what the data says. Swap hooks, recut bodies, and test new CTAs with speed and precision. ⚡ Creative remixes - Repurpose winning assets into fresh variants. Combine hooks from one ad with bodies from another. Build the modular library that fuels our testing engine. 🤖 AI Video Editing - Use AI tools to localise and dub creator content across languages and AI voice overs. Stay ahead of what's possible with lip-sync workflows and apply it at scale. ## What we're looking for - TikTok-native editing instincts — you know what a strong hook looks like in the first 2 seconds of raw footage, and you know how to build toward it. - Speed without sloppiness — you're comfortable turning around multiple cuts in a short window. Fast doesn't mean careless. - Performance mindset — you care whether your edits work, not just whether they look good. You read the results and apply them to the next cut. - AI tool fluency — you've used tools like ElevenLabs, or equivalent for dubbing and lip-sync. You experiment and stay current. - Modular thinking — you understand the hook / body / CTA structure and can edit to the module, not just the whole video. - Autonomous execution — you read the brief, ask the right questions once, and deliver. You don't need to be chased. ## How we hire 01 – The brief - 20 min call on our editing workflow and your UGC experience 02 – Work trial - Paid, 2–3 hr editing tasks using a real campaign brief 03 – Edit review - Walk us through your cuts and your decisions 04 – Final chat - Align on terms. We move from interviews to onboarding in days.
