Are you obsessed with TikTok trends, love to edit, and have a camera roll full of unposted video ideas? We’re looking for a Social Video Producer who brings next-level creativity and energy to digital video storytelling across some of Canada’s most iconic media brands—Toronto Life, Maclean’s, Chatelaine, FASHION, Hello! Canada, and Canadian Business.

You’ll concept, shoot, and edit scroll-stopping short-form videos that drive engagement and make audiences care. You’ll also play a hands-on role in helping us grow our video presence on platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and beyond.

• Proficiency in Adobe Premiere, CapCut, and other quick video editing software
• Experience using AI tools (e.g., Runway, Pika, Descript, ChatGPT, ElevenLabs, etc.) as part of your creative workflow
