Somebody is going to spend the next few months turning mushroom coffee into Pixar-style cartoons and claymation ads, and getting a bonus every time one of them takes off on Meta. It might as well be you.

You won’t need a whole animation studio to make it happen. You’ll have a storyboard, a bunch of AI tools, and plenty of room to experiment. Follow the brief, play around with ideas, and if you come up with something better along the way, go for it.

WHO THEY ARE

Founded in 2019 out of a parents' basement, this brand set out to fix the morning routine with mushroom coffee. Its performance marketing engine took it to more than a million active subscribers. It then moved into retail and became the #2 item in Target's entire coffee category. A multi-channel expansion is underway, with a launch into a new category coming in early 2027. The mission behind all of it: make the world feel better through superfoods.

• Hard problems get a yes first and a plan second

• Move fast, and get it right while you're at it

• The best idea wins, no matter whose title is on it

• Wins and losses belong to the team, never to one person

This is a full-time, fully remote contractor role. 

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU

• Bonuses for winning ads. Your best ads pay you back, every month.

• Hours you choose. Mornings, late nights, a bit of Saturday. Your call.

• Creative freedom. On animation ads, you can take the storyboard in your own direction.

• Room to grow. Editors here have moved into reviewing, management, storyboard writing and creative strategy.

• Tools covered. The full Adobe suite and every AI tool you use, all paid for.

WHAT YOU'RE GETTING INTO

• Shape raw footage, scripts and briefs into Meta video ads that sell

• Grab attention in the first three seconds with openings people don't scroll past

• Test endless versions of every ad with new hooks, visuals, pacing, messaging and CTAs

• Generate visuals, animations, backgrounds and b-roll with Higgsfield, Kling, OpenArt and every new AI tool worth trying

• Layer in captions, music, sound design and motion so every second earns its place

• Edit in Premiere Pro, with After Effects and Photoshop on hand

• Team up with creative strategists to turn ideas and feedback into sharper ads

• Dig into thumb-stop rate, hold rate, CTR and conversions, then use what you find to shape the next test

WHO YOU ARE

• You have 2+ years of hands-on video editing experience, ideally in DTC, e-commerce, or paid social.

• You know how to turn a script, concept, or rough idea into an ad people actually want to watch.

• You have a strong feel for hooks, pacing, retention, storytelling, captions, and sound.

• You’re highly confident in Premiere Pro and comfortable jumping into After Effects and Photoshop when needed.

• You’ve worked with AI creative tools like Higgsfield, Kling, OpenArt, Veo3, or similar platforms.

• You know how to use AI to make ads more effective, not just make them look impressive.

• Your portfolio shows performance-driven creative, short-form ads, and AI work with a clear purpose behind it.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

• 30 days: You've finished the two-week training on animation ads and moved onto the main team. You're working independently and hitting quality and deadline expectations.

• 60 days: You're consistently delivering 20 minutes of edited footage a month, on time and to standard.

• 90 days: You're holding that 20-minute pace, still hitting quality and deadlines, and averaging fewer than three drafts per ad.
