Short-Form Video Editor (Ads & Social Content)

We’re Grade A Studios, a video marketing agency in Canada that produces high-performing ads and viral-style short-form content for service-based businesses. We’re looking for a driven, creative video editor who is experienced in retention editing and motion graphics/VFX to join our team.
???? Role Overview
You’ll be editing ads and short-form content (30–90s) designed for Meta Ads, TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts. The focus is on engagement and retention — your edits should stop the scroll and keep viewers watching until the end.
We’ll provide:
Scripts & raw footage (shot in S-Log3)
Branding assets & notes
Clear instructions in Notion + Slack
You’ll deliver:
Polished edits with captions, sound effects, zooms, motion graphics & VFX
Variations of ads with different hooks
Quick turnaround (24–48 hours)
???? Pay Structure (in CAD)
$20 per finished short-form video/ad (30–90s)
$7 per variation (different hooks)
This is project-based to start, with opportunities to grow into a bigger role as we scale.
? Requirements
Proficient in After Effects, Premiere Pro, or DaVinci Resolve
Strong skills in motion graphics & VFX
Fluent in English (for following briefs + communication)
Reliable 24–48h turnaround time
Attention to detail and creativity in retention editing
???? What We’re Looking For
We want someone who isn’t just looking for “another editing gig” — but wants to grow with a fast-moving company. If you’re ambitious, love creative editing, and want consistent work, you’ll fit right in.
???? How to Apply
Include “VIRAL EDITOR” in your subject line (applications without this will not be considered).
Share your portfolio or examples of work (short-form, ad-style edits preferred).
Briefly tell us why you’d be a good fit for this role.
