# Video Editor & Producer (AI & Performance Ads) Remote in Dubai > PetLabCo. · Dubai, United Arab Emirates (Remote) · Full-time · Posted 2026-10-14 **Workplace:** remote **Department:** Marketing ## Description **Job Title: Video Editor & Producer (AI & Performance Ads)**  **Salary: 220,000 - 260,000 (Salary and Bonus)** **Location: Dubai, UAE**  **About the Role**  PetLab Co. is a leader in the DTC pet supplement market, with 9-figure revenue. We're profitable and growing fast around the world.  In performance marketing, a Video Editor does more than make things look good. Every cut, hook and caption you make exists to stop the scroll, hold attention and drive a purchase. You'll be judged on how your ads perform, not on how cinematic they are.  This is an editing-led role for someone with a proven track record of AI-powered performance ads. You'll produce high volumes of ads for Meta, TikTok and YouTube that are built to convert. You'll mix UGC, creator footage, stock, and AI-generated video, avatars and voiceovers.  You'll work closely with our Creative Strategists, Paid Media, Video Producers, Organic Social and Influencer teams. This isn't a cut-to-brief role. You'll bring your own ideas, write scripts and hooks, and help shape the creative strategy behind ads that scale customer acquisition and revenue.  **Who Will You Report Into?**  Hi, I'm Michael, Head of Innovation. We're looking for an experienced, fast editor who's obsessed with direct response and has already built a career on AI-powered ads.  You'll be a core part of our in-house creative engine, working day to day with industry-leading creative strategists. You'll see exactly how your ads perform, and you'll have a direct impact on how we acquire customers.  If you've made hundreds of AI ads that convert and want to do your best work at a 9-figure DTC brand, let's talk.  **What You'll be Responsible For:**  1\. Performance Video Editing – You'll spend most of your week in the timeline, turning briefs and raw footage into ads that convert. This will include:  - Editing short-form video ads for Meta, TikTok and YouTube from briefs supplied by our Creative Strategists  - Writing hooks for the first 3 seconds, keeping the pacing tight, and making sure something visual changes every 2–3 seconds to hold attention  - Adding captions, text overlays, sound design, music and clear calls-to-action that suit each platform  - Cutting UGC, creator, influencer, studio and stock footage into native-feeling ads  - Exporting in 9:16, 4:5, 1:1 and 16:9, with files named and organized so media buyers can launch right away  - Testing new AI tools to give you that extra edge!  The goal: ads that stop the scroll and drive purchases.  2\. Creative Strategy & Scripting – You won't just execute briefs. You'll help come up with the ideas behind them. This will include:  - Writing direct-response scripts, hooks and CTAs for UGC, creator, AI-avatar and product ads  - Pitching new concepts and angles based on performance data, customer pain points and trending formats  - Working with our Creative Strategists to turn insights into briefs, storyboards and shot lists  - Adapting winning scripts into new angles, personas and hook variations for testing  - Bringing an editor's eye to strategy: spotting what will hold attention before it's made  The goal: ideas and scripts that are built to convert from the first frame.  3\. AI Video Production – AI is already part of how we make ads, and it should be part of how you work every day. This will include:  - Generating AI video, AI avatars/spokespeople, product B-roll and lifestyle scenes with tools such as Veo, Kling, Runway, Higgsfield, HeyGen and Arcads  - Creating AI voiceovers and localized versions with tools such as ElevenLabs  - Fixing AI outputs so they hold up as real ads: character consistency, product accuracy and overall realism  - Using AI to speed up editing, such as auto-captions, transcript-based editing, upscaling and cleanup  - Building repeatable AI workflows and templates, and sharing what works with the team  The goal: more high-quality ads, made faster, at lower cost.  4\. Iteration & Testing – You'll help our strategists find winning ads and scale them through fast variations. This will include:  - Producing many versions of winning ads with new hooks, intros, avatars, lengths and messaging  - Building versions that change one variable at a time for structured A/B tests (for example, Hook A vs Hook B)  - Reviewing performance data (Hook Rate, Hold Rate, CTR, CPA, ROAS) and drop-off points with the team, then re-editing to fix weak spots  - Studying competitor and trending ads so PetLab's creative stays native to each platform  The goal: keep improving creative performance by testing at volume.  **What Your Day-to-Day Will Look Like:**  - 60% Editing & AI production: performance video editing and AI video generation  - 25% Creative & scripting: ideation, scriptwriting and briefing with strategists  - 15% Iteration & analysis: building test variations and reviewing performance data ## Requirements We're looking for someone with deep editing craft, a direct-response mindset and a proven track record with AI ads.  You must have:  - 4+ years of video editing experience, including at least 2 years focused on paid social ads for DTC or eCommerce brands  - Proven experience creating AI-powered ads and creative. Your portfolio must include AI-generated ads you made, with the tools you used and your role in each  - Hundreds, ideally thousands, of paid social ads produced across your career, with measurable results (e.g. ROAS, CPA, scaled spend)  - Strong written and spoken English, with the confidence to present ideas, take feedback and work with a global team  - AI video tools as part of your daily workflow, not something you're still learning (e.g. Veo, Kling, Runway, Higgsfield, HeyGen, Arcads, ElevenLabs)  - Expert skills in Premiere Pro and/or CapCut; After Effects, DaVinci Resolve or motion graphics are a plus  - A strong grasp of what makes an ad convert: hooks, pacing, retention, offers and CTAs, and the ability to write a direct-response script, not just cut one  - Working knowledge of performance metrics (Hook Rate, Hold Rate, CTR, CPA, ROAS) and how editing choices affect them  - The speed and organization to deliver a high volume of ads each week without the quality dropping  - Experience in fast-moving, feedback-heavy creative teams at a high-growth brand or performance agency  - Bonus points if you love animals. Experience with pet or health and wellness brands is a real plus.  Please note: we won't move forward with portfolios made up only of general editing, YouTube, cinematic, corporate or wedding work. This role is for editors who specialise in performance advertising. ## Benefits - 28 days annual leave excluding public holidays  - Company Bonus  - Private Medical Insurance  - Visa sponsorship ## Apply [Apply at PetLabCo.](https://apply.workable.com/petlab-co/j/3BBDFE3902/apply) --- Powered by [Workable](https://www.workable.com)
