Video Editor - Contract

Video Editor - Contract

• The job:
• We make work for UNICEF, TD, Canada Soccer, Pizza Hut, Terry Fox Foundation, Canadian Blood Services, Mattel, Samsung. We make great work. Most people see it on a phone, for about three seconds. Your job is to earn the fourth.

You cut for the scroll. Social, OLV, influencer, branded content. You know a six-second bumper and a 30-second pre-roll are different crafts, and you know a creator’s footage needs a different hand than a polished shoot.

This is a contract role.

What you’ll actually do:

Edit digital and social content across every platform and placement

Cut OLVs, pre-roll and bumpers. Hook early, land the brand, respect the runtime

Shape influencer and creator footage into content that works for the brand and still sounds like the creator

Build versions. Multiple lengths, ratios and cutdowns, without losing the idea

Work directly with creatives and producers on pacing, structure and story

Juggle multiple jobs and edits at once. Keep your own priorities straight, flag what’s at risk, hit your dates

Own your files, exports, specs and timelines. No chasing

Use AI where it helps. Faster assembly, transcription, cleanup, versioning. So more of your time goes to the craft

What you need:

3+ years experience. Agency, production house, in-house or creator side, we don’t care

Real editorial instinct. You can find the moment in hours of footage and cut everything else

Fluency in platform behaviour. You know what works on TikTok, Reels, YouTube and why

Premiere Pro, plus enough After Effects and Photoshop to get things done

Self-organized. You run several edits at once without needing someone to manage your day

Curiosity about AI tools and the judgment to know where they speed things up and where human taste still has to make the call

A killer eye, sense of style, and taste in reference

An ear. You can cut to music and you know when a track is doing the work for you

You know your specs. Formats, aspect ratios, transcoding, delivery to platforms and partners

A reel that shows range, not one style repeated

Nice to have:

Motion graphics and design skills. Kinetic type, simple animation, clean supers. If you can make a cut move without handing it off, that’s a big plus

Typographic judgment. Most social content fails on type, not footage

• How we work:
• Contract. Hybrid. Our office is in Toronto. We move fast and we’re not stupid about it.

• To apply:
• Send a reel and your CV. Lead with your best stuff. Social and OLV work up front.
• Tell us what you did on each piece. Specifically. We can tell the difference.
• If AI is part of how you work, tell us how. We’re interested.
