Job description

The Role

This isn't your average editing job.

We're looking for a Video Editor who is obsessed with content, someone who studies viral trends, understands audience psychology, and knows exactly how to hook a viewer in the first 3 seconds and keep them watching.

You'll edit talking-head infotainment videos, research client personalities, study viral creators, and design editing styles tailored to each client's brand. You'll be part of a creative team that moves fast, experiments boldly, and holds itself to a high standard.

If you're the type who opens Instagram or TikTok to study what's working, not just to scroll, this role was built for you.

What You'll Do

• Edit high-retention short-form videos for Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and TikTok
• Design scroll-stopping hooks for the first 3 to 5 seconds of every video
• Research viral creators and adapt editing styles and storytelling techniques for each client
• Study each client's personality and communication style to build a distinct visual identity
• Apply professional color grading (S-log, cinematic, brand-consistent tones)
• Create click-worthy thumbnails and visuals aligned with client branding
• Select and sync background music that amplifies mood and narrative
• Write and refine on-screen captions to maximize engagement
• Collaborate with the creative team on content strategy and trending formats
• Use AI tools to streamline your editing workflow and stay ahead of the curve

What We're Looking For

• 2+ years of hands-on video editing experience with a strong portfolio of modern, viral-style edits
• Proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects (DaVinci Resolve and Motion Graphics are a plus)
• Strong color grading skills, especially with raw and S-log footage
• Deep understanding of short-form content mechanics across Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok
• A sharp eye for pacing, storytelling, and visual hooks
• Ability to work fast, meet deadlines, and thrive in a high-output environment
• Self-motivated, detail-oriented, and hungry to grow

Bonus Points For:

• Experience with infotainment or talking-head content for professionals (real estate, law, finance)
• Knowledge of branding and content strategy
• Familiarity with AI-powered editing and automation tools

Why TheXMedia

• Work directly with a fast-growing agency creating viral content for top clients in Canada
• Creative freedom to experiment with trends and bring fresh ideas to every project
• Be part of a collaborative, high-energy team that takes content seriously
• Real growth opportunities as the agency scales

Applications without a portfolio will not be considered.
