Why Apply
You get paid to learn AI production: The studio provides premium AI tools and training, so you can upgrade from traditional editing to AI-assisted commercial production without paying for the tools yourself.
Clear, commercial-focused workload: The brief is specific - e-commerce ads in health, fitness, skincare and beauty, with a defined output of up to 2 ads per day and 24-hour turnaround. You know exactly what is expected.
Remote and portfolio-rich: It is open to anywhere in Nigeria and offers immediate work on client-facing campaigns, which helps you quickly build a strong performance ad portfolio in a high-demand niche.
Not just execution: The advert emphasizes ownership, growth and collaboration, so there is room to contribute ideas and shape how AI is used in advertising, not just follow instructions.

Prove your turnaround ability: This role requires speed and consistency. In your CV, mention your editing setup, your internet and power backup plan, and examples of working with tight deadlines.
Prepare for the assessment: Shortlisted candidates will do a practical test. Re-watch a few top-performing skincare and fitness ads and practice recreating their structure in Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve with clean captions and typography.
Check the basics: Make sure your CV clearly states 3+ years of professional editing, your main software, and a direct link to your showreel. When you message on WhatsApp, introduce yourself briefly, mention the role title, and attach both CV and portfolio link in one message.
