Sweat Pants Agency is the only performance marketing agency behind multiple Inc. #1 fastest-growing companies. We create high-performing ads for DTC brands, and we also produce a steady stream of short-form content for our founders and agency brand.
We’re looking for a Creative Performance Video Editor who can take raw footage, b-roll, UGC, talking-head clips, voiceovers, and creative assets — and turn them into engaging, scroll-stopping videos for Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and social platforms.
This role combines strong editing abilities with an understanding of direct response, retention, pacing, storytelling, and creative iteration.
If you’re the type of editor who understands both creative instinct and performance data, and can move quickly while still producing clean, polished work — you’re a great fit.
