# Senior Video Editor — Long-Term Contract | 40+ Videos | Direct-Response Content **Read this posting in full before applying. Applications that ignore the requirements below will be rejected without response.** We are a Vancouver, BC based marketing agency serving med spas and aesthetic clinics across North America. We have completed principal filming on a full content library — approximately 40 videos — and we are hiring one editor to take all of it from raw footage to publish-ready deliverables. This is a long-term contract with ongoing monthly volume. We are not looking for someone to test the waters. We are looking for a professional who wants a stable client and is prepared to be held to a standard. ## The work **1 long-form VSL — approximately 17 minutes.** Shot in seven separate sections that must be assembled into a single seamless piece. Requires B-roll cover on every section transition, animated text overlays, a persistent step counter for retention, and four testimonial cutaways integrated at marked points. If the cuts are visible, the edit has failed. **10 short-form paid ads — 45 to 90 seconds.** Meta placements. Several were shot on green screen and require clean keys with custom graphic backgrounds — dashboards, calendars, animated data. These are direct-response assets running against real ad spend. Sloppy work costs us money. **30 organic social videos — 30 to 75 seconds.** Instagram Reels and TikTok. Mix of handheld selfie and tripod formats. Fast turnaround expected once the workflow is established. ## Non-negotiable skills - **Word-by-word dynamic subtitles.** Submagic, Captions.ai, or equivalent quality. The majority of our audience watches on mute. Static burned-in captions are not acceptable. - **Motion graphics and animation.** Number counters, stat callouts, step indicators, animated text, simple data visualization. After Effects proficiency required. - **Green screen keying.** Clean edges, no green spill, no jagged outlines. If you cannot deliver a broadcast-quality key, do not apply. - **Long-form assembly.** Invisible cuts, matched energy across sections, ruthless pacing. Talking-head VSLs die from dead air — we expect you to cut every unintentional pause. - **Multi-format delivery.** 9:16 primary, with 1:1 and 16:9 versions where required. - **Sound design.** Clean levels, subtle music beds, no gimmicky effects. ## Requirements — do not apply if you do not meet these - **Minimum 5 years professional video editing experience.** Not hobbyist. Not freelance side work. Professional. - **Portfolio of 5 to 7 completed projects with working links.** We want direct-response ads, VSLs, or performance social content. Wedding films, travel vlogs, and event recaps tell us nothing and will not be considered. - Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve, plus After Effects. - Demonstrated experience editing for Meta and TikTok performance, not just aesthetics. - Reliable communication. We do not chase people for updates. - Deadlines are met as agreed. Missed deadlines without advance notice end the contract. ## How to apply Send the following. Incomplete applications will not be reviewed. 1. **Links to 5-7 projects you personally edited.** State clearly what your specific role was on each. If you did not cut it yourself, do not include it. 2. **Your rate.** Per video, per hour, or per project — tell us how you prefer to work and be specific. 3. **Turnaround times.** For a 60-second social edit, and for a long-form VSL. 4. **Software and plugin stack.** 5. **Your availability over the next 60 days**, including your time zone and working hours. ## What we expect We want an editor who takes ownership, not one who waits for instructions. If you see a stronger way to structure a cut, a better hook placement, or a retention issue we have missed — say so. We will listen. We also expect the work to be right the first time. Revisions happen, but a pattern of avoidable errors is not something we will manage around. If that sounds like the wrong fit, it is. If it sounds like how you already work, we would like to see your reel.
