QA Specialist
WHO WE ARE
We make ads that don't feel like ads.
We're a UGC ad production company. We create short-form video ads for brands — the kind that look like real conversations between real people, not polished commercials. Our clients run these on Meta, TikTok, and YouTube, and they perform because they feel human.
We work fast, we care about quality, and we hold a very high bar for what goes out the door. That's where you come in.
THE ROLE
You are the quality gate.
As a QA Specialist at PodcastADS, your job is to review scripts and finished videos before they reach clients — and make sure nothing slips through. You'll be the last set of eyes on every piece of content we produce, and your standards become our standards.
This isn't a passive role. We need someone who catches issues others miss, communicates feedback clearly and specifically, and genuinely cares whether a video feels real or feels like an ad.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Script QA
- Review scripts written by copywriters before they go to production
Flag AI-language, unnatural phrasing, and compliance violations
Check hooks, CTAs, length, and formatting against brand briefs
Leave clear, actionable comments with specific fixes
Video QA
Apply the 5-Pass QA method to every finished video
Review acting naturalness, b-roll relevance, subtitle accuracy
Check pacing, fluff, music levels, lip sync, and technical issues
Leave timestamped feedback on Frame.io for editors
Raw Footage Review
Review raw footage to identify the best and most natural takes
Timestamp approved clips so editors know exactly what to use
Note off-script takes, backup options, and anything substandard
Communication & Standards
Communicate feedback to editors, copywriters, and clients professionally
Hold the quality line even under deadline pressure
Help maintain and improve internal QA standards over time
WHAT 'GOOD' LOOKS LIKE IN THIS ROLE
You watch a video and immediately feel when something is 'off' — even before you can articulate why
You know the difference between a line that sounds natural and a line that sounds like it was written by ChatGPT
Your feedback is specific: not 'this feels unnatural' but 'at 0:42 the actor pauses to read their phone — swap for take 2'
You don't approve something just because a deadline is close — you flag it and propose a solution
You can handle a client pushing back on your notes and hold your position calmly and professionally
You watch our top-performing ads and understand exactly why they worked
YOU'RE A GREAT FIT IF
You have:
A sharp eye for performance and naturalness in video
Experience reviewing or editing short-form video content (UGC, ads,
social)
Strong written communication — your notes are clear, not vague
Comfort working with tools like Frame.io, Google Docs, and Notion
The ability to manage your own time and hit turnaround windows
Genuine pride in quality — you care that the work is good
Bonus if you have:
Background in video production, casting, or creative direction
Experience working with UGC creators or performance ad agencies
Familiarity with Meta Ads or TikTok ad formats
An understanding of what makes a scroll-stopping hook
Experience in copywriting or script review
THIS ROLE IS NOT FOR YOU IF
You approve content just to get it off your plate
You give vague feedback that editors can't act on
You can't handle direct conversations about quality
You think 'it's mostly fine' is good enough
You need constant hand-holding to know what needs fixing
You confuse 'polished' with 'natural' — they are not the same thing
Natural beats polished. Every time.
Every video we produce needs to feel like a candid conversation — the kind people actually have. Not a sales pitch. Not a script. A real moment between two people, one of whom happens to know about a product.
When you QA our work, you are protecting that standard. If a line sounds like it was written by AI, it gets fixed. If an actor is clearly reading their phone, the take gets swapped. If b-roll doesn't match the story, it gets replaced.
We watch every piece of content at least five times before it leaves us. That's not obsessive — that's the job
