The Gig.

If you can cut, caption, and spice up raw footage with music, animations, and trending hooks — you'll fit right in. Move fast, hit deadlines, get paid.

Pay
$25 per edit
Volume
10+ clips/week
Hours
Flexible

The Pay Structure.

  • Contract or Part-Time — paid per video. Move fast = more pay.
  • $25 per edit for short-form trends and talking-head clips.
  • Most edits are short-form (Reels, TikToks, YouTube Shorts).
  • Higher-end work (longer pieces) is paid hourly — we currently have a project for this.
  • Flexible hours — edit on your time as long as deadlines are hit.
  • Paid via PayPal or e-transfer, like clockwork.

Who This Is For.

  • You're a freelance video editor looking for consistent work without chasing down clients.
  • You want flexible projects, clean systems, and none of the client management headaches.
  • You're open to both shortform (social clips) and longform (podcasts, interviews) edits.
  • You want to build a portfolio, stack your pipeline, and get paid on time.

What You'll Do.

  • Edit and optimize — transform raw footage into polished, platform-ready content (vertical videos, captions, trending audio)
  • Collaborate — work closely with our content team to bring creative ideas to life
  • Stay trendy — know what's hot on TikTok and Instagram, keep content feeling fresh
  • Batch and crush — manage multiple projects, meet deadlines, stay organized under high volume

What You Bring.

  • Based in Canada
  • A portfolio of short-form social videos
  • Speed without sacrificing quality
  • Fluency in CapCut, Adobe Premiere, or similar editing tools
  • Creativity, resourcefulness, and an eye for what makes content pop

What You Won't Have to Do.

  • Pitch or sell to clients
  • Handle comms or feedback loops solo
  • Find assets, book calls, or manage timelines

What we handle for you: Clients are handed to you. All editing templates, brand guides, and raw assets are delivered. Full backend support from project managers, client comms, and content direction. Choose your own volume — take on what you can handle. No invoicing, no admin.

Don't Apply If.

  • You can't take feedback without getting defensive.
  • You crumble in fast-paced environments.
  • Your communication sucks.
  • You can't accept payment via PayPal or e-transfer.
  • You can't handle high-volume content (10+ clips/week minimum).
