Social Media Video Editor - Kelowna (in office)

Not your typical Video Editing Role. Are you obsessed with social media, viral trends, and cracking the code on what makes people stop scrolling? Do you live and breathe hooks, engagement, and rapid-cut editing? Are you the kind of person who sees a trend and immediately thinks, “How can I make this better?” If you thrive in CapCut, stay up late studying algorithms, and can turn raw footage into social gold, we want you on our team.

You:

• Know that a killer hook is everything and love testing different angles to maximize engagement.
• Constantly analyze social trends, viral formats, and platform algorithms to stay ahead of the curve.
• Can take raw footage and turn it into an addictive, fast-paced edit that keeps viewers watching.
• Have a rapid execution mindset—turning ideas into high-quality edits, fast.
• Love getting feedback, iterating quickly, and using data to refine your approach.
• Are self-sufficient—give you an idea, and you’ll run with it.
• Thrive in a fast-moving environment where adaptability and creativity are key.

We:

• Believe in creativity with a purpose—using content to drive real change.
• Encourage testing, learning, and growing—we’re all about data-backed creative decisions.
• Work to protect and restore the environment while making sustainability cool.
• Value intelligence, resourcefulness, and innovative thinking over rigid experience requirements.
• Move fast, take risks, and aren’t afraid to fail forward.

Our Core Values:

• Commit to a culture that builds a strong COMMUNITY.
• Embrace COURAGE by taking action despite uncertainty.
• Live with Awareness and CONSCIOUSNESS of our choices.

The Opportunity:

We’re on the hunt for a Social-First Video Editor who can create content that stops people mid-scroll. This role is all about transforming footage into engaging, algorithm-friendly stories that dominate TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts, and beyond. You’ll be responsible for breaking down long-form content into bite-sized, high-impact clips, crafting both organic and paid media assets that grab attention and drive engagement.
This role isn’t about traditional, polished video editing—it’s about speed, trend awareness, and creating content that feels native to each platform. You’ll work closely with our marketing team to test new ideas, jump on viral trends, and develop a visual style that keeps our brands ahead of the game.

Responsibilities:

• Edit and optimize videos for TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts, and other social platforms.
• Cut down long-form content into high-impact, snappy, trend-driven social clips.
• Craft videos designed for performance—testing different hooks, cuts, and styles to see what resonates.
• Use data and analytics to inform editing choices and optimize content for engagement.
• Pitch new content ideas and stay ahead of emerging trends in social video.
• Maintain a consistent brand voice and visual identity while pushing creative boundaries.
• Work at a fast pace, iterating quickly based on feedback and performance insights.
• Source and integrate trending music, soundbites, and effects that elevate storytelling.
• Capture and edit on-the-fly social content when needed (basic videography skills are a plus!)
• Adapt to changing priorities and adjust workflow as necessary to accommodate shifting timelines to meet project deadlines.

Qualifications:

• Strong experience editing short-form, social-first video content (TikTok, Reels, Shorts).
• Mastery of rapid-cut editing, engaging pacing, and dynamic transitions.
• Deep understanding of social media algorithms, engagement strategies, and viral trends.
• Proficiency in CapCut, Adobe Premiere, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve, or similar tools.
• Familiarity with A/B testing and data-driven decision-making for content optimization.
• Strong grasp of hook strategies, retention tactics, and what keeps people watching.
• Ability to turn around high-quality edits quickly, without getting stuck in perfectionism.
• Bonus: Experience in videography, motion graphics, or animation.
