Social Video Editor

Pier Five is looking for a Junior Social Video Editor to help us scale one of our fastest-growing content series: founder interviews featuring Canada's most inspiring entrepreneurs and creatives.

This is a part-time position. We're looking for someone who can commit to consistent weekly editing while growing alongside the company. As Pier Five continues to expand, there will be opportunities to take on more responsibility, contribute creatively, and potentially grow into a larger role.

While editing skills are the most important skill for this role, we are also interested in finding someone who is driven, reliable, excited about storytelling, and eager to contribute ideas. If you're constantly studying social content, noticing trends, and thinking about how videos can perform better, we'd love to work with you.

This is an opportunity to join a small team with real momentum and help shape the content of one of Canada's fastest-growing communities for entrepreneurs and creatives.

What You'll Be Editing

Each month, you'll edit:

6 Founder Interview Series

See examples on our Instagram. Each interview will be filmed in structured, individual questions, with every answer becoming its own social-first video.

Editing Style

We're creating content built for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. You'll be responsible for:

Maintaining a clean, fast-paced editing style

Following Pier Five's editing templates and brand style

Making each founder's story feel authentic and engaging

Looking for opportunities to improve pacing, hooks, captions, and overall performance

We welcome editors who bring creative ideas to the table and are excited to continuously improve our content.

Compensation

As Pier Five continues to grow, there will be opportunities to take on additional responsibilities and creative ownership. Compensation will be reviewed based on performance, contribution, and role expansion.

Who We're Looking For

You don't need years of agency experience or advanced motion graphics skills. We're looking for someone who is:

Passionate about social media and short-form storytelling

Organized and dependable

Comfortable receiving and applying feedback

Curious about what makes content perform

Excited to contribute creative ideas, not just execute edits

Interested in growing with an early-stage company

If you're looking for a role where you can make an impact, build your portfolio, and help shape the future of a growing media brand, we'd love to hear from you.

Location (Remote)

This is a remote, part-time role open to candidates across Canada. While our team is based in Toronto and occasionally gets together for team socials or events, being located in Toronto is not a requirement.
