Role Overview

We’re looking for an AI Video Editor Team Lead who is equal parts strong leader, project manager, systems builder, and editing geek — someone who knows how to automate workflows and achieve business goals through videos that actually sell.

You will take a team of 3 to 7 editors and elevate them through mature management, strict quality control, and deep AI integration.

Core Responsibilities

Team & Project Management

• Lead, mentor, and scale a team of 3 to 7+ AI-driven video editors, identifying their core strengths and guiding them to new professional heights.
• Monitor team morale and proactively manage workloads to prevent burnout, ensuring the team’s spirit aligns with the company culture.
• Act as a strong Project Manager: own the task distribution process and handle complex project routing. Keep pipelines organized and ensure clean, on-time delivery.

• Review, approve, and uphold internal guidelines and editing rules so the team has a clear operational framework.

AI Systems & Workflow Automation

• Build systematized AI workflows. Create structured templates using tools like Weavy to speed up the team's execution.
• Automate post-production. Build pipelines connecting task databases to AI generators, auto-delivering ready-to-edit assets directly, eliminating manual prompt copying and file downloading.
• Integrate new AI tools. Regularly test emerging AI models and implement the most effective ones into the daily workflow.
• Stay hands-on. Jump into the editing software (Adobe Suite) when needed to unblock the team, fix complex issues, or test new technical approaches.

Performance

• Build and maintain a database of top-performing creatives to systematically scale and iterate on winning concepts.
• Analyze failed creatives to understand what went wrong and make corrections for future videos.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work tightly with Creative Producers, Copywriters, Media Buyers, and Marketers to align on technical feasibility, negotiate deadlines, and solve bottlenecks.
• Acti
