# Freelance Video Editor - Company: [Shook]() - Location: Remote - Remote: Yes - Team: Creative Operations - Employment type: Full Time - Posted: May 7, 2026 ## Job description 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. ## More details Remote ยท Freelance ยท CET overlap preferred ยท Paid trial included ## Apply [Apply on Shook]() Canonical job page:
