Job Description
Type: Full-time
Salary: C$55,000 – C$70,000
The Environment: Startup Energy
We’re a high-growth startup operating out of a focused home-office in the GTA. No corporate fluff- just two founders and high-speed internet. We’re looking for a "builder" who cares about content quality over office lobbies. If you want to be part of a scrappy, roll-up-your-sleeves close-knit team obsessed with building a massive brand, you’ll fit right in.
We have a good amount of raw assets: good quality creator footage and shaky UGC/customer clips. We need a creative powerhouse to lead our post-production—someone who can collaborate with our content creator to optimize the output, while using Total AI Generation to bridge the gaps and turn raw files into a world-class global brand
The Mission: Stop the Scroll & Break the Algorithm
We aren’t looking for a "traditional" editor who just trims clips and adds subtitles. We want to produce the best short-form content on the internet. We’re looking for a master of the thumb-stop; someone who knows how to use shocking visuals and AI to hijack the viewer's attention instantly using insane transitions, AI-assisted visuals, and psychological pacing.
What You’ll Do:
Visual Sorcery: Transform standard product footage into viral-worthy content using advanced editing, speed ramping, and "crazy" transitions.
AI Integration: Use AI tools (MidJourney, NanoBanana, Runway, Luma, Kling, Higgsfield, Veo3, etc.) to extend backgrounds, generate surreal b-roll, or create 1:1 variations that don't look "lazy."
The "Hook" Expert: Design the first 3 seconds of every video to be impossible to ignore.
Trend Hunter: Proactively identify new editing styles, visual trends, viral hooks, and AI workflows before they go mainstream.
Clipping: Turn a single 10-minute shoot into 10+ distinct ad variations with different hooks, pacing, and visual styles.
Production Ops: Organize footage, assets, and file structures properly while helping build a fast, repeatable in-house creative workflow.
Collaborate & Ideate: Work closely with the Brand Content Creator and team to bring ideas to life quickly and effectively.
All-Hands-On-Deck Mindset: We are a lean, fast-moving team where roles aren't rigid. While your core focus is content, this isn’t a "that’s not my job" environment. We’re looking for someone happy to wear a few hats and do what it takes to help the brand scale.
What We’re Looking For:
2+ Years of Short-Form Mastery: Proven track record of editing high-performing TikToks, Reels, or Social Ads.
Native English & Cultural Instincts: You understand North American humor, memes, and pacing.
Social Media Obsessed: You live and breathe social content and are constantly deconstructing viral hooks.
Master of the Craft: Wizard in Premiere Pro, After Effects, or DaVinci Resolve, plus high-speed mastery of CapCut.
AI Fluent: You have a real AI workflow for upscaling, asset generation, or video manipulation.
"Whatever It Takes" Attitude: You are comfortable being bold—whether that's stopping strangers for interviews on the street or traveling for the perfect shoot.
Self-Directed: You are highly proactive and execute fast. We’re looking for someone who is happy to wear a few hats and do what it takes to help the brand scale.
Discretion: This is a founder-led home-office. We require someone who is reliable and is deeply respectful of the environment.
Nice to Have:
Experience with product-led or e-commerce content.
Lighting & Sound Pro: You know how to make a smartphone look like a RED camera through lighting and crisp audio design.
Humor: Good instincts for funny, surprising, or visually memorable edits. Timing is everything.
How to Apply:
Standard resumes will be ignored. To apply, send us a link to your best "before and after" edit or a portfolio that shows your most creative transitions/AI work. If you have a showreel that proves you can keep attention for 15 seconds, we want to see it.
Specific brand details will be shared exclusively with shortlisted candidates.
Pay: $55,000.00-$70,000.00 per year
