Editor / Storyboard Writer - Performance Marketing (Worldwide)

Storyboard Writer / Video Editor

We're looking for a performance-driven Storyboard Writer / Video Editor who understands what makes ads convert. This role is primarily focused on creating high-performing storyboards, with editing as a secondary skill used to execute or refine concepts.
What You'll Do

This role sits at the intersection of performance marketing and creative production. You think in hooks, pattern interrupts, and retention drivers, and you translate that instinct into clear, actionable storyboards that editors and actors can execute without guesswork.
Create performance-driven storyboards for social media ads
Define the full visual flow of each ad — talking head, B-roll, actions
Specify exactly what the actor is doing and showing in every moment
Provide clear direction to editors on what to do (include stock footage, generate with AI, etc)
Develop strong hooks, angles, and structures based on what's currently working
Think in scroll-stopping moments, pattern interrupts, and retention drivers
Iterate concepts based on performance data and feedback
Stay on top of trends, formats, and winning ad patterns
Collaborate closely with marketing, editors, and copywriters to improve results
Edit ads when needed to execute or refine your concepts
Creative Strategy

Think in scroll-stopping moments, pattern interrupts, and retention drivers — and build those into every concept.
Iterate concepts based on performance data and creative feedback.
Stay on top of trends, formats, and winning ad patterns across DTC and direct-response categories.
Collaborate closely with marketing, editors, and copywriters to improve results.
Editing

Edit ads when needed to execute or refine your own storyboard concepts.
Use Adobe Premiere Pro as the primary editing tool, with After Effects as needed.
Use AI tools (avatars, voice, generative video, etc.) to supplement and enhance creative output.
What We're Looking For

Experience in storyboarding for ads
Experience with DTC brands or UGC formats
Strong understanding of performance marketing and direct-response principles
Understanding of core performance metrics (hook rate, hold rate, retention)
Strong instinct for what feels native to each platform
Familiarity with current trends and ad formats
Comfortable using AI tools (avatars, voice, generative video, etc.)
Solid editing skills (Premiere Pro / After Effects)
Strong written English (clear, concise, conversion-focused)
Ability to work fast, iterate, and handle multiple concepts simultaneously
