Role Overview
As a Promo Video Editor, you will be responsible for editing high-quality promo videos and ad creatives that support performance marketing campaigns. You will work closely with the Promo Lead, writers, sound engineers, dubbing partners, and creative teams to convert scripts, audio, visuals, and existing ads into strong video assets.
The ideal candidate should understand ad creation, promo creation, trailer storytelling, audience hooks, pacing, CTA placement, subtitle integration, audio-video sync, and GenAI-assisted video creation.

Adapt existing ads from other geographies for the Brazilian market.
Stitch localized Brazilian Portuguese SRTs, dubbed audio, audio mixes, CTAs, logos, end cards, and other required elements.

Produce multiple ad variants from the same source material for creative testing.
5. GenAI Video & Creative Tools
Use GenAI tools for video creation, image generation, character generation, motion graphics, and creative experimentation.
Create AI-assisted video assets, visuals, characters, backgrounds, or animation elements where required.
Explore new AI tools and workflows to improve video quality, speed, and production efficiency.
Ensure AI-generated outputs are reviewed, polished, and aligned with the creative direction.
6. Collaboration & Workflow
Work closely with the Promo Lead, writers, sound engineers, dubbing agencies, and video team members.

Incorporate feedback quickly and submit revised cuts within agreed timelines.
Maintain organized project files, versioning, exports, and delivery folders.
7. Quality & Timely Delivery
Ensure all videos meet creative, technical, language, branding, and platform requirements.
Check every output for subtitle accuracy, audio sync, visual quality, CTA placement, spelling, and final export settings.
Deliver assigned video assets as per timelines and campaign priorities.
Share daily or weekly progress updates with the Promo Lead as required.
