Creative & Media Jobs in Bandung City, Indonesia (Now Hiring) — 6 open

Sweat Pants Agency is a performance marketing agency and the ONLY agency behind multiple INC #1 fast-growing brands. We create, test, and scale ads across Meta, TikTok, Instagram, and other paid social platforms.

We are looking for a Performance Creative Video Editor, Paid Social who can turn raw UGC, talking-head footage, product clips, client assets, AI-generated b-roll, and social references into engaging, platform-native ads.

Most of our creative is built for Meta, so this role is ideal for someone who understands paid social ads, direct response creative, UGC-style editing, short-form hooks, and fast creative iteration.

This is not just a “make it look nice” editing role. We are looking for someone who understands the difference between a beautiful edit and an effective ad.

You should be able to look at a video and think:

“Where would someone drop off?”
“How do we make the hook stronger?”
“Does this feel native to the platform?”
“Does the edit support the angle?”
“Is this persuasive from a consumer’s perspective?”

You will work closely with creative strategists, media buyers, and creative directors to edit paid social ads for ecommerce brands. The ideal candidate has strong instincts around hooks, pacing, retention, direct response structure, captions, audio, b-roll, AI tools, and what makes content feel native to platforms like Meta, Instagram, and TikTok.

You should also be comfortable using AI tools to improve the creative process. This may include generating natural-looking filler footage, creating product b-roll, producing AI voiceovers, transcribing scenes, analyzing competitor ads, or speeding up editing workflows.
