About the Role

We are looking for a talented, experienced, and creative video editor to join our team and help grow our social media presence.

The role focuses on creating engaging, authentic, and high-quality short-form videos for an entrepreneur's personal brand and hospitality businesses.

We will provide all the raw video footage. Your responsibility is to turn that footage into compelling, professionally edited content that is ready to post.

Our content includes lifestyle, day-in-the-life experiences, entrepreneurship, behind-the-scenes moments, mentorship, events, and everyday activities.

We want someone who understands storytelling and knows how to turn ordinary moments into videos that people genuinely connect with.

We are not looking for generic AI-generated videos or excessive effects. We value creativity, authenticity, natural storytelling, and clean, professional editing.

Key Responsibilities

Review raw video footage provided by us and independently identify the most engaging and meaningful moments.

Transform multiple clips or longer recordings into polished, entertaining Instagram Reels, TikToks, and other short-form videos.

Create compelling 30–60-second videos with strong openings, engaging pacing, and natural storytelling.

Add professional captions, music, clean transitions, and appropriate effects.

Edit lifestyle, day-in-the-life, personal branding, entrepreneurship, mentorship, and hospitality content.

Understand our creative vision and maintain a consistent editing style.

Stay informed about social media trends and suggest creative ways to improve content.

Deliver completed videos quickly, with same-day turnaround when required and agreed upon.

Make revisions promptly and communicate consistently.

Required Skills & Experience

Proven video editing experience, particularly with Instagram Reels, TikTok, and short-form social media content.

Strong storytelling skills — the ability to identify the best moments and turn raw footage into meaningful, engaging videos.

Fast turnaround — ability to produce high-quality work efficiently and meet deadlines.

Experience editing personal-brand content, lifestyle vlogs, day-in-the-life videos, and behind-the-scenes footage.

Proficiency in CapCut, Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or similar professional editing software.

Strong understanding of hooks, pacing, audience retention, and social media engagement.

Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.

Good English communication skills.

Reliable internet connection, strong organization, and attention to detail.

Ability to understand feedback and adapt quickly to our creative direction.

Workload & Availability

This is a part-time, flexible, task-based position.

We will provide the raw footage and creative direction when needed.

The workload will vary depending on content availability, initially involving a small number of videos.

Must be reachable and responsive between 12 PM and 9 PM Toronto time, including weekends when content requires attention.

You will not be expected to edit continuously throughout those hours.

Some days may involve little or no editing, while others may require urgent content.

Fast communication, reliability, and timely delivery are essential.

We are looking for someone who can work efficiently, understand our expectations, and eventually take ownership of the editing process without constant instructions.

Compensation & Growth Opportunities

Starting Salary: CAD $500/month

We are looking to build a long-term working relationship with the right person.

This position has genuine potential for growth. As our content quality, social media presence, and production needs increase, there will be opportunities for:

Increased video production and consistent work.

Greater creative responsibility and involvement in content planning.

Salary increases based on performance, reliability, and expanded responsibilities.

Long-term collaboration across multiple brands and projects.

The better the content, the stronger the results, and the more consistent the performance, the greater the opportunity to grow with us.

How to Apply

Please submit the following:

Resume and brief introduction about your video editing experience.

Portfolio of at least 3–5 videos you personally edited, preferably lifestyle, personal-brand, or storytelling content.

Editing software you use.

Typical turnaround time for editing a 30–60-second Reel from raw footage.

Confirmation of your availability during Toronto hours.

Earliest possible start date.

Important: Shortlisted candidates will be asked to complete a paid practical editing test using raw footage provided by us. This will help us evaluate creativity, storytelling, editing quality, and turnaround time.
