Video Editor (Performance Marketing)

Printfly Corporation, Philadelphia, PA, United States


Printfly is looking for a Video Editor who knows how to make people stop scrolling.

This role is built for someone with 4-6 years of editing experience, ideally in performance marketing, direct response, paid social, or short-form conversion-focused content.

That said, strong editing instincts matter most, so editors from other backgrounds are welcome if they understand pacing, emotion, and what keeps short-form content engaging.


This role starts as a hands-on editor helping shape ad creative, test new concepts, and turn raw footage into high-performing assets across Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and landing pages.


The right person will gradually take ownership of

  • post-production workflows
  • creative testing strategy
  • mentoring junior editors


What You’ll Do

  • Edit high-volume paid social ads and performance-driven creative
  • Build multiple variations from a single concept for testing hooks, pacing, offers, and CTAs
  • Work closely with the Creative Director on concepts, feedback, and iteration rounds
  • Pull selects from long-form shoots, UGC, testimonials, and creator footage
  • Add motion graphics, subtitles, sound design, and light VFX when needed
  • Understand what makes a winning ad and use performance insights to improve future edits
  • Help improve editing SOPs and post-production workflows as the team grows


What We’re Looking For

  • 4-6 years of professional video editing experience
  • Strong preference for performance marketing, paid social, or direct response editing experience
  • Excellent instincts for pacing, comedic timing, emotional timing, and retention
  • Deep understanding of short-form mobile-first editing styles
  • Comfortable working quickly with tight turnaround times and multiple versions
  • Able to take clear feedback and improve fast
  • Interest in modern internet culture, hooks, memes, trends, and platform-native editing
  • Portfolio that shows both storytelling ability and conversion-focused work


Ideal Candidate Profile

  • Thinks like a direct response marketer first, editor second
  • Social-first instincts with native understanding of platform pacing
  • Fast without being sloppy
  • Takes feedback to heart to improve future edits


Beyond strong taste, we’re looking for someone who can help build the backbone of post as we scale:

  • Create repeatable editing workflows
  • Build project templates and naming conventions
  • Manage asset libraries and versioning
  • Spot bottlenecks before they become problems


Bonus Points

Bonus points if you also have production and filming experience.

This is a major plus for someone who can jump in on shoots, think through coverage with the edit in mind, and help capture footage that’s built for performance.

  • Comfortable shooting on an iPhone, mirrorless camera, or a DSLR
  • Understands framing, lighting, audio, and how footage choices affect the edit
  • Can think like an editor on set, capturing options that improve testing and versioning later
