Video Editor (Short-form social, paid ads, UGC) - LATAM

About LumiMeds

LumiMeds is a fast-growing U.S.-based telehealth startup focused on weight management and long-term metabolic health. We are building the next generation of e-commerce and clinical infrastructure from the ground up.

As an early-stage company, we move quickly, operate with limited layers, and expect high ownership from every team member. There is no bureaucracy here — decisions happen fast, priorities evolve, and builders thrive.

We are a remote-first, globally distributed team that values clarity, accountability, and people who take initiative rather than wait for direction.

About the Role

LumiMeds is hiring a video editor to cut short-form video across three streams: educational content from our licensed healthcare creators, UGC from real customers and paid creators, and paid social ads. You'll take a clinician's 90-second explanation of how GLP-1s work and make it land. You'll turn a customer's iPhone testimonial into a Meta ad that converts. On spec, on time, and on the right side of compliance.

This is not a generalist editing role. You'll be cutting healthcare content in a tightly regulated category (compounded medications, metabolic health, HRT). Every cut, every overlay, every text card has to be both watchable and compliant. Paid ads in this space get extra scrutiny from Meta, TikTok, and the FTC, so you'll work closely with our social media manager, healthcare creators, and compliance reviewer to make sure everything ships clean.

The right person is fast, opinionated about what makes short-form work, and fluent with modern AI editing tools. You're also detail-oriented enough to catch when a stray B-roll clip, an AI voiceover, or a misplaced caption could create a compliance problem. No healthcare background required (we'll train you), but you do need to care about getting it right.

What You'll Do

Educational content (organic)

• Edit 12–16 short-form educational videos per month (15–90 seconds) from self-shot creator footage for Instagram Reels and TikTok
• Add captions, lower thirds, callouts, on-screen text, and B-roll where it strengthens the message

Paid ads

• Cut 8–15 paid ad variations per month for Meta, TikTok, and YouTube: hook-led, conversion-focused, built for testing
• Produce multiple variants of each concept (different hooks, CTAs, and first-3-second openers) so the media team can run proper creative tests
• Iterate quickly on winning ads: recut hooks, swap B-roll, refresh creative when fatigue sets in

UGC

• Edit UGC submissions from real customers and paid UGC creators into polished short-form content that still feels native and authentic (not over-produced)
• Stitch multi-clip UGC into cohesive narratives (problem, product, result framing, within compliance bounds)

Across all streams

• Use AI tools strategically to speed up production (auto-captioning, transcript-based editing, B-roll generation, voice cleanup) without letting AI shortcuts compromise accuracy or compliance
• Apply LumiMeds brand standards consistently: fonts, colors, logo placement, end cards, disclosure formatting
• Implement compliance reviewer feedback on cuts and revisions, sometimes across multiple rounds
• Maintain organized project files and an archive of raw footage, approved B-roll, finished cuts, and ad variant trees
• Stay current on what's working on Reels, TikTok, and paid social in the health and wellness space

What You Won't Do

• You will NOT write scripts or determine clinical content — that comes from our licensed creators and the marketing team
• You will NOT add efficacy claims, weight-loss promises, or outcome language in captions, on-screen text, or ad copy
• You will NOT use AI to generate fake clinician footage, deepfake any creator or customer, clone voices, or fabricate B-roll that misrepresents what's being described
• You will NOT use before/after imagery, testimonial framings, or comparisons to branded products (Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, Mounjaro)
• You will NOT upload, publish, or push final files live to ad accounts — final files go to the social media manager and media buyer

What We're Looking For

Required

• 2+ years editing short-form vertical video for social. Portfolio with current work required
• Demonstrated experience editing paid social ads (Meta, TikTok, or YouTube) — not just organic content. You understand hook-led structure, retention curves, and why ad creative is different from organic creative
• Strong fluency in at least one of: Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, or CapCut Pro
• Working knowledge of AI editing tools: Descript or similar transcript-based editing, AI captioning (CapCut, Submagic, Opus Clip), AI audio cleanup (Adobe Enhance, Auphonic)
• Comfort cutting UGC: taking imperfect, multi-source footage and making it work without stripping out the authenticity that makes UGC perform
• Captioning skills that go beyond auto-generated: accurate, well-timed, well-styled, readable on mute
• Genuine taste for what makes short-form work: pacing, hooks, retention, when to cut, when to let a beat breathe
• Willingness to learn FDA marketing compliance basics as they apply to compounded medications and paid health advertising (we'll train you)

Strongly Preferred

• Direct experience editing paid DTC ads in healthcare, wellness, supplements, telehealth, or other regulated, performance-driven categories
• Familiarity with the visual language differences between educational, UGC, and ad content
• Experience producing ad variant trees (same concept, multiple hooks, CTAs, and openers) for systematic creative testing
• Experience working with a brand kit and maintaining visual consistency across many cuts
• Motion graphics chops: clean text animations, simple lower thirds, callout treatments
• Comfort with audio cleanup (noise reduction, leveling, music ducking)
• Experience using AI tools responsibly in regulated contexts
• Working knowledge of Meta, TikTok, and YouTube ad creative specs and policy (especially health and wellness ad policies)

Bonus

• Color grading skills beyond basic correction
• Spanish or Tagalog fluency (we're planning bilingual content and matching captioning helps)
• Experience with AI dubbing or translation tools (ElevenLabs, HeyGen, Rask) for bilingual ad and content workflows
• Experience editing for accounts or ad accounts in the 100K+ follower or six-figure monthly ad spend range

Logistics

• Engagement type: Full-time (W-2)
• Location: Fully remote, U.S.-based preferred (open to Canada/Latin America for the right person)
• Software: You bring your own. We'll cover any LumiMeds-specific tools, plugins, or AI tool subscriptions
• Start date: As soon as the right person is found

What Working With Us Looks Like

• Footage and briefs drop into a shared folder: educational footage from creators, UGC from customers and paid UGC creators, raw assets for ad concepts
• Each project comes with a brief: format, platform, aspect ratios needed, hook variations to produce, compliance considerations flagged upfront
• You cut, deliver a first version (or variant set), and post to a review thread
• You revise (usually 1–2 rounds for organic, sometimes 3+ for ads where compliance is stricter)
• Final files get approved, you upload to the delivery folder, marketing and media buying take it from there
• Weekly check-in during high-volume ad pushes; monthly check-in (30 min) otherwise

How to Apply

Send the following to hr@lumimeds.com:

• A short note (3–5 sentences) on why this role interests you
• Your reel or 3–5 links to recent work, ideally a mix of organic short-form, UGC edits, and paid ads
• At least one example of a paid ad you edited, with a sentence on what platform it ran on and what the goal was
• A sentence or two on which AI tools you actually use in your workflow and what for
• Your rate expectations (per-video, per-variant, or monthly retainer)
• Software you cut on
• If you have it: an example of a piece you edited for a regulated category and a sentence on what constraints you were editing under

We review applications on a rolling basis. Expect to hear back within 2 weeks if there's a fit.

Why This Role Exists

LumiMeds runs three video streams that all live or die on the same craft: educational content that earns trust, UGC that proves real people use the product, and paid ads that bring new patients in the door. They look different, they perform on different metrics, and they each have their own compliance traps. We need one editor who can move between all three without losing the plot.

AI tools have made parts of this faster than ever. They've also made it easier than ever to ship something polished, plausible, and quietly wrong — especially in paid ads. We need someone who can use modern tools to move fast, and never let the polish drift into territory that compromises the brand, the creators we work with, or the audience's trust.
