JOB OVERVIEW

PAY
$5 CAD per hour to start, raised to $6 CAD per hour after a 60-day review. At 25 to 35 hours a week that is roughly $540 to $760 CAD per month. Paid every two weeks by bank transfer to your Wise account or local bank.

HOURS
25 to 35 hours a week to start, with more hours as we add clients. Your schedule is flexible, but we need at least 3 hours of overlap with Eastern Time (Toronto) on working days for communication. For example, being online from 8 PM to 11 PM Manila time covers this.

ABOUT US
Acquirely is a Canadian Meta ads agency that helps local service businesses get more booked jobs from Facebook and Instagram. We work with real owners (painters, renovators, dog trainers and other local companies) who film short videos on their phones, and our job is to turn that footage into ads that make people stop scrolling and ask about the service. We are a small, fast-moving team, and the editor we hire will be one of the most important people in the business, because the video is what sells.

WHAT YOU WILL DO
- Edit 9:16 vertical ads, usually 45 to 80 seconds long, from raw phone footage our clients upload to Google Drive.
- Edit about 20 to 35 videos a week across our clients, with each video turned around within 2 business days of the footage arriving, ideally sooner.
- Follow our written Editing Standards and Format Guides, which cover six ad formats (walk-and-talk transformations, selfie-style talking videos, job timelapses, customer testimonials, listed tips, and speed ramps). Consistent quality matters more to us than anything else.
- Build a strong first 3 seconds every time, with a text hook, a visual hook and an audio hook. Never open on a logo, filler, or a sentence that starts in the middle.
- Cut every "um", restart, repeat and pause, and match b-roll to exactly what the speaker is saying.
- Add clean captions with perfect spelling, balanced audio (voice first, then music, then sound effects), and only the effects that have a reason to be there.
- Build a reusable CapCut template for each format so a normal edit gets faster without losing quality.
- Upload finished videos to our review folder, apply feedback quickly, and flag missing or unusable footage in Slack the same day you find it.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
- At least 1 year editing short-form content for TikTok, Reels, YouTube Shorts or ads.
- Strong CapCut skills (this is our main tool). Premiere Pro, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve or After Effects experience is a bonus.
- A portfolio with at least 3 vertical videos you edited yourself, ideally ads or talking-head content.
- Good written and spoken English, because scripts, captions, feedback and meetings are all in English.
- A reliable computer, stable internet, and a backup plan for power outages.
- You care about details, you hit deadlines, and you tell us early when something is going wrong. Communication and reliability are what we value most.

NICE TO HAVE
- You have edited ads for a business before and understand that an ad has to sell, not just look good.
- You can design simple static image ads in Canva.
- You have worked with a US or Canadian team before.

WHAT YOU GET
- Steady, long-term work with a growing agency, with more volume as we add clients.
- A raise to $6 CAD/hr after 60 days, with more growth for strong editors as the team expands.
- Clear written standards, example videos and direct feedback, so you always know what good looks like.
- One point of contact, fast answers, and no micromanaging once you have shown you can deliver.

HIRING PROCESS
1. Apply through OnlineJobs.ph with the items below.
2. Shortlisted editors get a short paid test edit. We send raw footage and a script, you send back a finished ad.
3. A short video call with the founders.
4. Start, with a 60-day review and raise.

HOW TO APPLY
Start your application with the word "ACQ" so we know you read the whole post. Applications without it will not be opened.

In your application, include:
1. Google Drive links to 3 vertical videos you edited, with one sentence on what you did in each.
2. Confirmation that you are comfortable with the $5 CAD/hr starting rate, and how many hours a week you can work.
3. Your timezone, the hours you are usually online, and confirmation that you can cover at least 3 Eastern Time hours on working days.
4. Your answer to this question: "What should happen in the first 3 seconds of a Facebook ad, and why?"

Keep it short. We read every application that follows these steps.
