Overview

We’re looking for an exceptional VSL Lead Editor — someone who lives and breathes direct-response storytelling with deep experience in health and wellness brands, and knows exactly how to grab attention in the first 3-7 seconds.

You’ll be a driving creative force behind high-converting VSLs and short-form edits for health and wellness brands, mastering pacing, emotion, and structure that make viewers stop scrolling and start buying.

This role isn’t about managing teams or sitting in meetings — it’s about being in the edit, crafting the kind of videos that make people feel something, click something, and convert.

We’re a creative and performance-driven team combining doctor-formulated products, cinematic storytelling, and direct-response precision to reach millions of customers worldwide.

Who You Are

You’re obsessed with storytelling that sells. You understand the rhythm of retention, can sense when an edit drags by a half-second, and can take a flat testimonial or product demo and make it magnetic.
You thrive in fast-paced, data-driven creative environments — constantly iterating, testing, and chasing the next breakthrough in hook performance or watch-time.

This role is for someone who:

• Has a proven eye for what keeps people watching
  
  

• Can take a raw VSL lead script and turn it into an emotional, conversion-driven narrative.
  
  

• Loves testing new creative angles, visual cues, pacing tricks, and other variations.
  
  

• Understands that editing is marketing — and thrives on measurable results.
  
  

Key Responsibilities

• Edit High-Converting VSLs: Craft 2-3 minute long VSL edits that keep attention. You’ll shape structure, pacing, tone, and emotion — not just assemble clips.
  
  

• Master the Hook: Develop, test, and refine attention-grabbing intros that hook within seconds and set up the emotional and logical flow of the sale.
  
  

• Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work closely with marketing strategists, copywriters, and producers to align storytelling with campaign goals and feedback loops.
  
  

• Enhance Engagement: Use After Effects, sound design, and color grading to amplify emotional resonance and polish every frame.
  
  

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional video editing experience, with at least 2 years editing VSLs or direct-response ads that have produced measurable revenue results.
  
  

• Expert in Adobe Premiere Pro (required) and After Effects (preferred) for motion graphics and effects.
  
  

• Portfolio demonstrating high-converting direct-response work (VSLs, UGC ads, or testimonials) with measurable impact.
  
  

• Deep understanding of direct-response psychology — hooks, pacing, narrative tension, and payoff structure.
  
  

• Comfortable working in high-volume production environments (10+ versions/week).
  
  

• Familiarity with AI tools (voiceovers, image generation, caption automation) a plus.
  
  

• Data-curious mindset — you’re the kind of editor who loves seeing metrics improve from your last cut.
  
  

Preferred

• Experience editing for health, wellness, or supplement brands.
  
  

• Background in social-first storytelling — knowing what makes content pop in a crowded feed.
  
  

• Proven ability to collaborate with performance marketers and adapt edits based on results.
