Freelance Video Editor

This a Full Remote job, the offer is available from: EMEA, Europe, European Union, Finland

We're not looking for someone who makes things look pretty. We're looking for someone who makes things perform. As a Freelance Video Editor at Shook Digital, you'll take raw creator footage and turn it into scroll-stopping UGC ads - iterating fast, remixing creatively, and using every tool available, including AI, to ship assets that win.

What you'll own

โœ‚ UGC production editing

  • Edit raw creator footage into polished, script-accurate UGC ads. Maintain the native, platform-first feel that outperforms studio content on TikTok.

โ†บ Performance-driven iterations

  • Review ad results and iterate cuts based on what the data says. Swap hooks, recut bodies, and test new CTAs with speed and precision.

โšก Creative remixes

  • Repurpose winning assets into fresh variants. Combine hooks from one ad with bodies from another. Build the modular library that fuels our testing engine.

๐Ÿค– AI Video Editing

  • Use AI tools to localise and dub creator content across languages and AI voice overs. Stay ahead of what's possible with lip-sync workflows and apply it at scale.

What we're looking for

  • TikTok-native editing instincts โ€” you know what a strong hook looks like in the first 2 seconds of raw footage, and you know how to build toward it.

  • Speed without sloppiness โ€” you're comfortable turning around multiple cuts in a short window. Fast doesn't mean careless.

  • Performance mindset โ€” you care whether your edits work, not just whether they look good. You read the results and apply them to the next cut.

  • AI tool fluency โ€” you've used tools like ElevenLabs, or equivalent for dubbing and lip-sync. You experiment and stay current.

  • Modular thinking โ€” you understand the hook / body / CTA structure and can edit to the module, not just the whole video.

  • Autonomous execution โ€” you read the brief, ask the right questions once, and deliver. You don't need to be chased.

How we hire

01 โ€“ The brief

  • 20 min call on our editing workflow and your UGC experience

02 โ€“ Work trial

  • Paid, 2โ€“3 hr editing tasks using a real campaign brief

03 โ€“ Edit review

  • Walk us through your cuts and your decisions

04 โ€“ Final chat

  • Align on terms. We move from interviews to onboarding in days.
