Freelance Video Editor Performance & UGC Ads (m/f/d)

Hi, we’re Doonails ! 💅🏼 We’re a fast-growing beauty startup rethinking the world of manicure. With innovative products, a strong community and a presence in our own online shop as well as at leading retail partners, we bring studio quality straight to your home: simple, fast and stylish. And this is exactly where YOU come in. We’re looking for a freelance video editor who lives and breathes performance and UGC ads: someone who turns scripts into thumb-stopping hooks for Meta and helps us launch TikTok Shop natively in the US and DE. Your Role & Impact ⚡️ As Freelance Video Editor for Performance & UGC Ads, you take care of the whole edit from raw footage to upload-ready ad. Your hooks are what stop the scroll. Your impact is direct and measurable. You push our testing volume (more ad variants = more shots at Level-1 and Level-2 hits in our hit-rate framework), you move our thumb-stop and hold rates through stronger, more varied hooks, and you help us launch TikTok Shop natively in the US and DE. Your Core Responsibilities 👩‍💻👨‍💻 Editing You cut 1-3 (in some cases 4-5) scripts per project with different hooks + body - mostly voice-over (generated with ElevenLabs), rarely talking-head. Around 2-4 projects per week, trending upward. Localization You create US and DE subtitles + VO for almost every project. Clean versions You export one clean version per project (no badges, no text). Asset management You select footage from our content database and actively bring in fresh material to avoid visual repetition. Compliance You name the final ads yourself, following the Doonails naming table. Workflow You run the end-to-end workflow across ClickUp (footage/Drive), Notion (briefing) and Frame (approval - usually 2 feedback loops until upload). Proactive input You bring your own ideas to level up creative and performance - not just working through output. What You'll Bring to the Table 🤝 Proven track record: Proven experience editing performance/UGC ads for Meta, ideall
