Freelance Video Editor for Branded Social Content, Reels and Ongoing Projects

We are looking for a skilled, reliable freelance video editor to support our marketing team on an as-needed basis. The primary focus will be turning our existing footage and B-roll into polished, on-brand video content for social media, including short-form posts, reels, and other platform-specific content. There may also be opportunities to support longer-form videos as the relationship develops. What You’ll Work On: - Edit existing B-roll into engaging social media videos and Reels - Follow established brand guidelines, visual standards, and messaging direction - Adapt edits for different platforms and formats - Add clean, effective kinetic typography and motion graphics - Perform professional colour correction and colour grading - Select, edit, and mix music, dialogue, sound effects, and other audio - Use AI-powered tools when appropriate to improve efficiency or solve production challenges - Potentially support longer-form videos in the future What We’re Looking For: - A strong portfolio of polished short-form and social video work - Excellent colour-grading skills - Strong kinetic typography and motion-design capabilities - A good understanding of pacing, hooks, retention, and platform-specific editing - Excellent audio-editing and sound-design skills - Awareness of current social media and video trends - Experience working within established brand guidelines - Good judgment about when a trend supports a brand and when it does not - Strong communication, organization, and attention to detail - The ability to work independently while following a clear creative brief We welcome thoughtful suggestions and want someone who can contribute creatively. However, major stylistic changes, trend-driven approaches, or departures from the supplied direction should be discussed with our team before being incorporated into an edit. Experience working with agricultural, industrial, manufacturing, equipment, or other practical product-focused brands would be an asset, but is not required. Working Relationship: This will begin as freelance, project-based work assigned as needed. For the right person, it could develop into a consistent ongoing relationship.
