Video Editor – Part-Time – Social Media Focus

About Us

Setsail Marketing is a B-Corp certified, full-service marketing agency based in Vancouver. We help brands generate leads and sales with clear strategy, smart automation, and clean creative. Our in-house studio produces high-quality content daily – and we're looking for a remote video editor who can take that content and turn it into scroll-stopping social media assets.

We need a video editor who is:

• Fast, efficient, and creative
• Social-media native (you understand TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and
• LinkedIn culture)
• Obsessed with hooks, attention spans, and getting viewers to stop scrolling
• Comfortable using AI tools to cut faster, repurpose content, add subtitles, and
• generate ideas

You'll be taking raw footage (sometimes from clients, sometimes from our studio) and editing it into highly engaging short-form videos. Every piece you produce should be designed to perform: grab attention, keep viewers watching, and drive results for the brand.

What You'll Do

• Edit short-form videos (15–90s) with speed and polish
• Craft strong hooks in the first 3-5 seconds
• Add captions, B-roll, music, and effects optimized for each platform
• Repurpose long-form video into multiple micro-clips
• Stay current on trends, sounds, and editing styles that win attention
• Collaborate with our team through ClickUp, HighLevel, and shared drives

Must-Have Skills

• Strong editing skills (Premiere Pro, Final Cut, or DaVinci)
• Experience with AI-assisted editing tools (Descript, OpusClip, Runway, Captions, etc.)
• Attention to detail (no typos in subtitles, clean transitions, brand-consistent output)
• Understanding of how algorithms reward video structure
• Ability to hit deadlines and work quickly without sacrificing quality

Nice-to-Have

• Graphic/motion design skills (After Effects, Canva, etc.)
• Copywriting instincts for headlines and captions
• Experience editing across different industries and tones

Why Work With Us

• Work remotely, flexibly, and creatively with a growing Vancouver agency
• Join a team focused on ROI, not hype—your work directly drives client sales and
• growth
• Be part of a system that's fast, fun, and built to scale

To Apply, Send Us:

• Your portfolio of short-form edits (Reels/TikToks/Shorts)
• A quick note on what AI tools you use to edit faster
• Your availability
