Video Editor – Short-Form Social (Instagram & TikTok)

We're a small, mission-driven children's brand. We're looking for a video editor who gets us. Not someone who edits content — someone who can feel the story in raw footage and shape it into something that stops the scroll and earns the follow.

What you'll be doing:
Editing short-form video (15 seconds to 3 minutes) for Instagram Reels and TikTok — from raw footage of our products, community ---------- nts, and behind-the-scenes clips. You'll own the edit: clip selection, pacing, transitions, audio, and a soft CTA that feels native to our brand. Turnaround is typically 24–48 hours.

The style we're going for:

This is the quality, feel, and emotional tone we're building toward. Warm. Intentional. Scroll-stopping. If you watch it and immediately start thinking about how you'd approach it — you might be our person.

You're the right fit if:
- You have a strong portfolio of short-form edits that have actually grown accounts (followers, engagement, comments — show us the receipts)
- You understand what makes someone stop, watch, and share — and you build for that from the first frame
- You know CapCut (or similar) inside out and stay ahead of trends without chasing them blindly
- You're fast, communicative, and don't need hand-holding to deliver
- You genuinely care about brands with heart and a mission — this isn't just a gig to you

To apply, send us:
1. 2–3 examples of short-form edits in a similar emotional or lifestyle style — your most relevant work, not your full portfolio
2. One Instagram or TikTok account you've edited for (we want to see real-world results, not just clips)
3. A short note telling us: why this kind of brand resonates with you, what you're looking for in a long-term creative partnership, and your typical availability (EST time)
4. Your rate in CAD and weekly capacity
5. Typical turnaround time

Generic applications won't be reviewed. We want to hear your voice and see that you understand the kind of content we're building. Watch the reference video. Then tell us why you're the right fit.
