Proppel · New York, NY, USA ·

Job type:
Contract

Proppel is a recruitment agency connecting top talent across the US, Canada, and Latin America with opportunities at some of the most exciting companies in the world.

Whether you are looking for your next role or the right move to advance your career, we will make it happen.

What we're looking for
A fast-growing performance creative agency that produces high-converting ads for multiple 8- and 9-figure DTC ecommerce brands is hiring an AI-first video editor. This is not a branding or “pretty video” role, because every ad is judged on one thing: does it sell? You’ll combine strong editing fundamentals with real AI fluency to ship scroll-stopping creative at speed.

What You’ll Be Doing

Produce AI-generated ads and assets every week, including animations, avatars, voiceovers, and songs.

Turn briefs and raw UGC into direct response ads built around the hook, the first 3 seconds, retention, and the CTA.

Build hook and format variations of winning ads so the team can scale them fast.

Review hook rate, hold rate, CTR, and CPA with Creative Strategists and media buyers, then double down on what works.

Bring new formats, trends, and AI-driven angles to creative brainstorms.

Organize and manage inbound content from creators.

Requirements

A portfolio of direct response or ecommerce ads, including AI-generated ads you produced yourself.

Hands-on experience with AI generation tools for video, avatars, voice, or music (Higgsfield or similar), plus a solid grasp of prompting and the ability to adapt quickly as new tools appear.

2+ years with Premiere Pro, CapCut, After Effects, or similar, and 1+ year editing e-commerce ads.

A deep understanding of TikTok and Reels, with a sharp instinct for what stops the scroll.

Speed and the ability to apply feedback the same day without letting quality drop.

Strong written and spoken English.

Nice to Have

Motion graphics or graphic design skills.

Ad results you can talk about (winning ads, CPA improvements or scaled creatives).

Flexible Paid Time Off + Christmas week off.

Notes
We consider candidates from all around LATAM.
