Video Editor - Social Media Ads (m/f/d)

You don't just cut beautiful videos, but understand how content needs to work on TikTok, Instagram, and Meta?

You know fast hooks, good timing, subtitles, pattern interrupts, and when a video is getting too slow?

Then we are looking for you.

We are Doubledouble Ads, a fast-growing creative agency from Cologne. We develop and produce social-first advertising and organic content for well-known brands like mobile.de, ESN, Kleinanzeigen, and other companies from various industries.

Our team currently consists of ten ambitious individuals. Now we are looking for a Junior Video Editor who wants to specialize in social media and develop rapidly with us.

Important upfront

We are not looking for a classic graphic designer, image film editor, or pure long-form editor.

With us, it's mainly about short, attention-grabbing video ads and social content for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and Meta.

You don't have to be a senior yet. However, you should have already cut your first social media videos and be able to show us through your portfolio that you have a feel for pace, hooks, and platforms.

Your own projects, spec ads, or videos for your personal account also count.

Tasks

We produce social media ads and organic content for many different brands and industries.

One day you'll cut material from a high-quality furniture shoot, the next a comedy video with a Porsche, and after that a fast UGC ad for a skincare brand.

Your tasks include:

• Editing social media ads in Premiere Pro
• Editing TikToks, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts
• Selecting the strongest takes, hooks, and scenes
• Structuring videos based on scripts and storyboards
• Subtitles, sound design, music, and simple animations
• Developing suitable editing styles for different brands and target audiences
• Creating different variations and hooks for performance tests
• Occasional adaptation of simple advertising graphics and static ads

Qualifications

What you should bring

• You work confidently and efficiently with Adobe Premiere Pro.
• You have already edited several short social media videos.
• You understand that TikToks, Reels, and social ads work differently than classic image films.
• You have a good feel for pacing, timing, storytelling, music, and visual attention.
• You engage with current social media formats, trends, and editing styles.
• You are interested in why certain advertisements perform better than others.
• You work in a structured, reliable manner and meet deadlines.
• You can implement feedback quickly and organize your work independently.
• You prioritize a good and punctual delivery over getting lost in unimportant details.
• You understand German very well.

**This would be a plus**

• First experience with social media ads or UGC ads
• Basic knowledge of After Effects
• Experience with Photoshop or Canva
• Understanding of Meta Ads, TikTok Ads, or performance marketing
• Experience in an agency or with multiple client projects

You don't have to fulfill every point. What's crucial is that you have already edited social content and want to develop specifically in this area.

Benefits

Steep Learning Curve

You work for well-known brands and get to know many industries, target audiences, and creative approaches in a short time.

Work with Real Impact

Your videos are broadcast as advertisements and seen by hundreds of thousands or millions of people. You can build a crazy portfolio with us with brands like mobile.de or Kleinanzeigen.

Direct Performance Feedback

You'll find out not only if a video looks good but also if it actually works. This allows you to learn significantly faster than with classic video production.

Lots of Variety

UGC, comedy, interviews, product videos, AI content, organic TikToks, and high-quality productions are all part of our daily routine.

Responsibility and Trust

You will take on your own projects, receive direct feedback, and can quickly develop from a junior to an independent social media editor.

A Young Team in the Belgisches Viertel in Cologne

Short communication channels, quick decisions, good atmosphere, and an office dog that regularly distracts from work.

We don't need a classic cover letter.

Write to us briefly:

• Why do you want to edit social media ads?
• Which accounts, creators, or brands do you find particularly strong from an editing perspective?
• What do you want to learn in the next two years?

Please also send us at least two to three examples of short social media videos that you have edited yourself.

These can be client projects, your own TikToks, Reels, spec ads, or free projects.

Unfortunately, we cannot consider applications without relevant video work samples.

We look forward to meeting you.
