Freelance Video Editor Performance & UGC Ads (m/f/d)

Hi, we’re Doonails ! 💅🏼

We’re a fast-growing beauty startup rethinking the world of manicure. With innovative products, a strong community and a presence in our own online shop as well as at leading retail partners, we bring studio quality straight to your home: simple, fast and stylish.

And this is exactly where YOU come in.

We’re looking for a freelance video editor who lives and breathes performance and UGC ads: someone who turns scripts into thumb-stopping hooks for Meta and helps us launch TikTok Shop natively in the US and DE.

Your Role & Impact ⚡️

As Freelance Video Editor for Performance & UGC Ads, you take care of the whole edit from raw footage to upload-ready ad. Your hooks are what stop the scroll.

Your impact is direct and measurable. You push our testing volume (more ad variants = more shots at Level-1 and Level-2 hits in our hit-rate framework), you move our thumb-stop and hold rates through stronger, more varied hooks, and you help us launch TikTok Shop natively in the US and DE.

Your Core Responsibilities 👩‍💻👨‍💻

Editing

- You cut 1-3 (in some cases 4-5) scripts per project with different hooks + body - mostly voice-over (generated with ElevenLabs), rarely talking-head. Around 2-4 projects per week, trending upward.

Localization

- You create US and DE subtitles + VO for almost every project.

Clean versions

- You export one clean version per project (no badges, no text).

Asset management

- You select footage from our content database and actively bring in fresh material to avoid visual repetition.

Compliance

- You name the final ads yourself, following the Doonails naming table.

Workflow

- You run the end-to-end workflow across ClickUp (footage/Drive), Notion (briefing) and Frame (approval - usually 2 feedback loops until upload).

Proactive input

- You bring your own ideas to level up creative and performance - not just working through output.

What You'll Bring to the Table 🤝

-
Proven track record: Proven experience editing performance/UGC ads for Meta, ideally also TikTok / TikTok Shop and Experience with VO and subtitle workflows, ideally multi-market (US + DE).

-
Tools: Very confident with Adobe Premiere and experience with CapCut.

-
Hooks: A strong eye for thumb-stopping hooks and the ability to deliver high creative variation.

-
Ownership: An independent, proactive way of working with strategic thinking. You bring your own performance ideas, and you’re happy to dive into an existing content/footage database and actively use new material.

-
Communication: Solid English is a must (for US Content), German is a strong plus.

What We Offer 💖

-
💸 Competitive pay, tailored to your qualifications and experience

-
🤝 A true ownership role with a high degree of trust and room to shape things your way

-
📈 Growth potential: take on responsibility and bring your ideas directly to the table

Ready? We can’t wait to meet you! ✨
