Type: Part-time (around 20 hours/week) · Fully remote
Reports to: Head of Production
Compensation: $1,200 to $1,500 per month for 20 hours per week
About Web TonicWeb Tonic is a performance-driven, 360° digital marketing agency: Google Ads, SEO, Meta Ads, TikTok Ads, web design and full growth marketing programs. We work with fast-scaling brands and enterprise accounts across North America, the Middle East and Asia, in English and French. Video sits at the center of everything we ship: founder content, organic social and the ads that pay our clients' bills.
The roleYou turn raw footage, scripts and AI-generated material into short videos that people stop scrolling for — and that actually convert when they run as ads. Using higgsfield genjutsu.
Your work splits into three streams: personal branding content for founders and executives (including our own founder), organic short-form content for brands, and short-form ads for Meta, TikTok and YouTube. A growing part of every stream is AI video: avatars, voice cloning, AI B-roll, AI-generated scenes and fast versioning.
Every video ships in two languages. You edit, caption and adapt in French and in English with the same level of quality, so we need someone who is genuinely bilingual, not "good enough" in the second language.
This is a hands-on editing seat, not a creative director role. Your output is measured in videos delivered on time, hook rates, and how rarely we have to send an edit back.
What you'll doPersonal branding & organic content
- Edit founder and executive videos (talking head, podcast clips, behind the scenes, event footage) into Reels, TikToks, YouTube Shorts and LinkedIn videos.
- Cut long-form recordings into multiple short clips with strong hooks, pacing, captions, B-roll, sound design and on-brand graphics.
- Keep each personal brand consistent: caption style, colors, fonts, intro/outro, tone.
Short-form ads
- Edit performance ads for Meta, TikTok and YouTube: UGC-style ads, founder ads, product demos, testimonials, statics turned into motion.
- Produce multiple hook and CTA variations of the same ad for testing, in 9:16, 4:5 and 1:1, respecting platform safe zones.
- Work from performance feedback (hook rate, hold rate, CTR) to iterate on what wins.
AI video
- Produce and edit AI video: avatars (HeyGen or similar), AI voice and voice cloning (ElevenLabs or similar), AI-generated B-roll and scenes (Veo, Kling, Runway, Seedance or similar), AI upscaling and clean-up.
- Make AI footage look and sound natural: lip-sync, pacing, transitions, grading, sound — nothing that screams "AI".
- Build faster workflows: templates, presets and AI tools that cut turnaround time without dropping quality.
- Fluency in higgsfield genjutsu (Or more advanced model)
Bilingual delivery
- Deliver French and English versions of the same video: subtitles, on-screen text, AI voice-over or dubbing, cultural adaptation.
What you must have
- * 3+ years of professional video editing, with a strong focus on short-form vertical content (Reels, TikTok, Shorts).
- A portfolio that proves it: personal branding / founder content AND short-form ads. Links to live posts or ads are a plus.
- Native-level French + native-level English, written and spoken. You write captions and on-screen text in both languages without errors. This is non-negotiable.
- Hands-on experience with AI video tools (avatars, AI voice, AI-generated footage) used in real client deliverables, not only tests.
- Heavily using AI to speed up your work every day (this will need to be demonstrated).
- Expert in Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve or CapCut Pro, plus a working knowledge of After Effects or motion templates.
- An understanding of what makes short-form ads perform: the first 3 seconds, pacing, captions, CTA, platform specs.
- Reliable, fast turnaround: you can deliver a batch of edits within 24–48 hours.
- Reliable computer able to handle 4K footage, fast internet, and a structured file/naming system.
Nice to have* Agency experience, juggling several brands at once.
* Motion design (After Effects), sound design and color grading.

Compensation detail $*1,200 to $1,500 per month for 20 hours per week

How to applySend your CV and your portfolio plus a short answer (written or 3-minute Loom) to these three:
- Send 3 short-form videos you edited: one personal branding piece, one ad, one using AI video. For each: what you received, what you did, and the result (views, hook rate, CTR or client outcome).
- Provide us with your full portfolio and walk us through the process of creating some of these videos.
- Which AI tools are part of your editing workflow today, and what do they save you per video?
