Video Editor

PART-TIME, THREE-MONTH CONTRACT | REMOTE
START DATE: 19 OCT 2026
Frontline Creative is a Toronto-based video production studio creating story-driven content for organizations on the frontlines of service, performance, and change.
We’re looking for an experienced Video Editor to join our team for an initial three-month contract. We’re targeting approximately 24 hours per week, ideally over three consistent days. However, we’re flexible about how those hours and days are structured for the right person, provided there is reliable availability for collaboration and deadlines.
This is a remote role, with a strong preference for someone based in Toronto or the GTA.
You’ll take ownership of the ongoing editing that keeps Frontline and our clients moving, while working closely with our Lead Director and Editor to bring each project’s creative vision to life.
WHAT YOU'LL EDIT
Work may include:
Social media reels
Brand story videos
Event recaps
Interviews and testimonials
Select commercial projects
BTS Videos for Frontline (Short-form for Instagram and Long-form for YouTube)
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
Three or more years of professional editing experience
Advanced proficiency in professional editing software; DaVinci Resolve is preferred
Strong storytelling, pacing, music, and editorial instincts
Skilled in colour grading, sound design, and mixing
Ability to create engaging titles, captions, and simple motion graphics
Awareness of current social media formats, trends, and editing techniques
Ability to adapt your editing style to different clients, audiences, and briefs
Excellent file management, media organization, and revision tracking
Strong time management, attention to detail and the ability to meet deadlines and occasional quick turnarounds
A reliable professional editing setup and internet connection suitable for remote workflows
You should be able to work independently, follow a creative brief accurately, and know when to bring forward an idea that could make the work stronger.
You’ll also need to collaborate effectively with colourists, sound designers, composers, VFX artists, and motion designers when a project calls for specialized finishing.
THIS PROBABLY ISN'T FOR YOU IF
You consider social, behind-the-scenes, or recurring client content beneath you
You prioritize flashy techniques over story, clarity, and purpose
You need every creative decision mapped out before you can begin
You’re looking for a detached freelance relationship rather than a place within the team
BONUS SKILLS
Experience with DaVinci Resolve’s colour, audio, and AI-assisted tools
Motion graphics or VFX experience
Experience editing polished commercials, brand films, documentaries
Familiarity with emerging AI workflows that support the creative process
Videography experience and an interest in occasionally supporting productions on set, compensated separately
WHAT IT MEANS TO JOIN FRONTLINE
We’re a lean team with ambitious standards. We value people who take action, execute with precision, challenge the expected, and care about the purpose behind the work.
You won’t be expected to know everything on day one. You will be expected to take ownership, stay organized, keep learning, and invest in what we’re building together.
For the right person, this contract could grow into a longer-term partnership and potentially a full-time role.
THE DETAILS
Term: Initial three-month contract
Schedule: Approximately 24 hours per week. Three consistent days are preferred, but we’re open to a different arrangement for the right candidate.
Location: Remote; Toronto or GTA strongly preferred
Compensation: $40–$48 CAD per hour, based on experience and portfolio, plus applicable vacation pay
HOW TO APPLY

A short introduction explaining why working for Frontline Creative interests you
Your résumé and editing portfolio
Two or three samples that best represent your work and creative instincts
Your location, availability, and preferred working days
While it is a plus, your portfolio does not need to be filled with commercial edits. We’d especially like to see strong social edits, behind-the-scenes content, event recaps, and brand stories.
