Launch With Us is a high-growth UK advertising agency specialising in scaling e-commerce brands through performance marketing. Since launching in 2021, we’ve managed over £8M in Meta and TikTok ad spend, delivering profitable growth for brands including Khanum’s, Lucy & Lola, Ovrload, DJK, Bubble Panda, and Watermans.
Creative is the engine behind our results. Our production team operates as a performance creative department -building, testing, and iterating ads at scale. Every piece of content is built to drive measurable outcomes, not just look good.
We’re looking for an experienced Video Editor to produce high-converting paid social ads for leading e-commerce brands. This is not a generalist editing role - you will create, iterate, and optimise short-form video ads designed specifically for Meta and TikTok performance marketing.
You’ll work inside our creative division to turn concepts, UGC, and brand assets into scroll-stopping, conversion-focused ads. The role requires a strong understanding of paid social frameworks, direct response principles, hook development, retention editing, and platform-native best practices.
What You’ll Be Responsible For
- Editing high-converting paid social ads for Meta & TikTok
- Creating multiple variations for testing (hooks, angles, CTAs, formats)
- Turning UGC and raw footage into structured, performance-driven ads
- Applying retention editing techniques (pattern interrupts, pacing, captions, visual hooks)
- Following platform-native best practices and short-form trends
- Collaborating with strategists to iterate based on performance data
- Proven experience editing paid social ads for e-commerce brands
- Strong understanding of direct response and performance marketing
- Experience creating short-form ads (9:16, 1:1, 4:5)
- Ability to edit at pace without compromising conversion quality
- Comfortable working in a fast, test-and-iterate environment
RequirementsMindset & Approach
- Extreme ownership over creative performance — you care about results, not just aesthetics.
- Performance-driven thinker who understands that creative exists to convert.
- Proactive and solution-oriented — you identify what’s not working and improve it.
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, test-and-iterate environment.
- Strong attention to detail, especially in hooks, pacing, retention, and structure.
- Able to self-manage workload and hit deadlines without constant oversight.
- 2+ years editing paid social ads, ideally for e-commerce brands.
- Proven experience creating high-converting ads for Meta and TikTok.
- Strong understanding of direct response principles (hooks, angles, CTAs, UGC structuring).
- Expert in Adobe Premiere Pro; strong working knowledge of After Effects for motion graphics.
- Skilled in retention editing techniques (pattern interrupts, dynamic captions, pacing, visual overlays).
- Comfortable producing multiple creative variations for testing at scale.
- Able to interpret performance feedback and iterate based on data.
- Clear communicator with strong written and spoken English.
Benefits
- You will be part of a world-class team made up of high-performing individuals.
- You will gain deep insight into how high-growth brands scale using creative strategy and paid social.
- Extra Holiday – take your birthday off.
- Structured training and development plans.
- Monthly team incentives.
- Kudos system to stack points and spend on vouchers like Deliveroo, Just Eat, Amazon etc.
