We're not looking for someone to make pretty videos. We're looking for someone who understands that a video's job is to stop a scroll, hold attention for 30 seconds, and make someone pick up the phone.

About us:
We're a US-based performance marketing company. We run paid advertising across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, and native platforms to connect Americans struggling with credit card debt to companies that can help them. We spend real money on ads every single day, which means the creative we produce directly drives the business.
We're not looking for someone to make pretty videos. We're looking for someone who understands that a video's job is to stop a scroll, hold attention for 30 seconds, and make someone pick up the phone.
What you'll do:
Edit 15–20 short-form direct-response ads per week for Facebook, Instagram Reels, TikTok, and Snapchat
Cut fast-paced, hook-driven creative: strong first 3 seconds, hard cuts, zooms, pattern interrupts, no dead air
Build UGC-style ads, testimonial edits, text-on-screen ads, and longer-form video sales letters
Add captions, sound design, b-roll, stock footage, motion graphics, and on-screen text overlays
Produce multiple variations of winning ads — new hooks, new intros, new angles — so we can test at volume
Take direct feedback and turn around revisions quickly
What we need from you:
2+ years editing short-form video, ideally for ads, social content, or a marketing agency
You can cut fast. Turnaround matters more here than perfection — a good ad shipped today beats a great ad shipped next week
Excellent eye for pacing, rhythm, and timing to music
Fluent written and spoken English — you'll be editing English-language ads for a US audience and need to understand the script, the tone, and the emotion
Reliable internet and generator or backup power — this is a daily-output role
Available to overlap with US Eastern Time hours for feedback and calls
Comfortable working independently with a task list, not waiting to be managed
Bonus points:
You've edited direct-response or performance ads before and understand hooks, CTAs, and testing
You know your way around AI tools — ElevenLabs, Higgsfield, etc...
Familiarity with Meta's advertising policies and what does and doesn't get flagged
Basic motion graphics and animated text presets you've built yourself
Compensation:
$1200 USD/month base, plus 5% of profits.
The profit share is the important part. Most editing jobs pay you the same whether your work performs or not. Here, when an ad you cut starts winning and we scale spend behind it, you get paid more. Your upside is directly tied to the quality of your creative — and we'll show you the numbers so you can see exactly what's working.
You'll get full performance data on your edits: which hooks held attention, which ads drove calls, which ones we killed. Very few editing roles give you that feedback loop.
Why this role is good:
Full-time, stable, paid in USD every month
Real ownership — your creative directly moves the revenue number
Long-term position with room to grow into a lead creative role as we scale
We're building an in-house content operation, not hiring one-off gigs
How to apply:
Send the following to our email at info@leadbycall.com or apply here.
Your reel or portfolio — link to Google Drive, Vimeo, YouTube, or Instagram. We care most about short-form ads and social content, not weddings or corporate videos.
One paragraph on the fastest turnaround you've handled and what your typical weekly output looks like.
Your setup — computer specs, internet speed, and whether you have backup power.
When you could start.
Shortlisted candidates will be paid for a test edit. We'll send you raw footage and a script, and you'll have 72 hours to deliver. We hire based on that edit.
