We're looking for a Motion Editor who really understands social.

Based in Toronto, you'll work for brands that want to show up in culture, not just post into the void. This isn't about maintaining calendars, it's about creating work people actually care about.

You'll help bring social-first ideas to life through editing, motion, design, storytelling, and platform-native craft. This role is for someone who knows how to turn footage, trends, creator assets, campaign ideas, and cultural moments into content people actually want to watch.

You'll work closely with creatives, strategists, account leads, producers, community managers, and creator partners to make work that moves fast without feeling disposable.

We're a growing agency, which means no passengers. You'll have real influence on how we work, what we make, and how we grow. If you like building as you go, you'll feel right at home.

And yes, this role is deeply plugged into culture. You're across platforms, creators, trends, and shifts in behavior before they hit the mainstream. More importantly, you know what's worth acting on, and what's just noise.

If you're excited by the idea of shaping standout work, building something meaningful, and leaving your mark on a fast-moving agency, we should talk.
