ABOUT THE COMPANY

LeadSmith is a performance-driven digital marketing agency focused on turning paid media into measurable growth engines. We primarily serve professional service firms and growth-focused businesses running Meta, Google, and LinkedIn campaigns.

For us, creative is not a “nice-to-have.” It is the primary growth lever. We are building a structured, AI-enabled creative function, and this role is central to that effort.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

We’re hiring a hands-on Video Editor who thinks like a marketer.

You will be the primary video producer for the agency — editing, iterating, and shipping consistently — while contributing meaningful strategic input on hooks, angles, and creative testing. This is a doer-first role with strategic influence, not a pure Creative Director position.

You must be comfortable operating independently, taking ownership of output, and improving performance without waiting for detailed direction.

IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL

• Edit and produce paid social video ads for Meta, LinkedIn, and YouTube
• Create UGC-style ads, founder-led talking head videos, AI influencer-style content, and motion-based explainers
• Translate scripts into compelling, conversion-focused video assets
• Develop structured variation sets across hooks, angles, formats, and CTAs
• Build and execute testing matrices (Hook × Angle × Format × CTA)
• Collaborate weekly with Paid Media Managers to review performance and plan iterations
• Diagnose underperformance (weak hook, low retention, awareness mismatch, offer friction)
• Produce consistent, high-volume creative iterations without sacrificing clarity
• Build organized folder systems, naming conventions, and asset workflows
• Create lightweight SOPs for editing, versioning, and creative testing
• Integrate AI tools into scripting, voiceovers, visuals, and production workflows

AI integration is a core expectation of this role — not a bonus. We expect AI-assisted scripting, voiceovers, avatars when appropriate, visual generation, and rapid variation testing.

YOU’LL SUCCEED IF YOU HAVE

• Strong proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro
• Working knowledge of AI tools such as Firefly, ElevenLabs, HeyGen, VEO-style tools, and similar platforms
• A clear understanding of direct response video structure (Hook → Problem → Solution → Proof → CTA)
• Experience working alongside paid media teams and optimizing against metrics
• Comfort building structured testing frameworks
• Strong organizational discipline (clear folder structures, naming conventions, asset management)
• A proactive mindset — you bring ideas, not just deliverables
• Comfort giving and receiving direct, performance-based feedback

You are immersed in performance creative. You understand what’s working in paid social right now — and you stay current.

HOW SUCCESS IS MEASURED

• Creative iteration velocity
• Improvements in CTR and hook retention
• Reduction in CPA driven by creative optimization
• Structured testing implementation and documentation quality
• On-time delivery and organized asset management

This is performance creative. Results matter.

NICE TO HAVE

• Experience in performance marketing agencies
• Familiarity with professional service or law firm advertising
• Experience building creative testing documentation
• Light graphic design capability (thumbnails, overlays)
• Experience mentoring junior editors

WHY JOIN THIS TEAM

This is an opportunity to help shape the creative backbone of a growing performance agency. Your work will directly influence client revenue, creative systems, and how testing is executed across accounts.

As the agency grows, this role has the potential to evolve into leading additional editors and scaling a structured creative function.
