JOB OVERVIEW

I’m looking for a video editor to join Kolbe 15, a founder community and media platform based in Toronto.
We produce founder conversations, panels, behind-the-scenes content, events, retreats, and social-first videos across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn.
I’m looking for more than someone who can make clean cuts and add captions. I need an editor with strong storytelling instincts who can take a large amount of raw footage and turn it into content people actually want to watch.
What You’ll Be Editing
Long-form content
- Founder conversations and podcasts, often 60–120 minutes
- Multicam footage, typically 2–3 cameras
- Multiple audio sources
- Panels, fireside conversations, and event content
- Full YouTube episodes
Short-form content
- Reels, TikToks, and YouTube Shorts cut from long-form conversations
- Standalone talking-head videos
- Behind-the-scenes founder content
- Event and retreat promos
- Story-driven social content
What I’m Looking For
You should be highly proficient with a professional video editing platform such as Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, or equivalent.
The software you use doesn't matter. The quality of your work does.
More importantly, you need strong editorial judgment.
You should be able to watch a long conversation and recognize:
- Where the story is
- What needs to be cut
- Where the pacing is dragging
- Which moments could become great short-form content
- How to create a strong opening or hook
- When B-roll, graphics, music, or sound design improve the story
- How to turn raw footage into something that keeps people watching
I’ll provide direction, context, and feedback, but I don’t want to direct every cut. I’m looking for someone who can learn our style and eventually take ownership of an edit from raw footage to finished content.
You Should Be Comfortable With
- Professional video editing software
- Multicam editing
- Syncing and working with multiple audio sources
- Audio cleanup and mixing
- Colour correction/grading
- Basic motion graphics
- Captions and on-screen graphics
- Music selection and sound design
- Editing in both 16:9 and 9:16
- Organizing and working with large amounts of footage
- Footage from professional cameras, iPhones, and Insta360 cameras
- Exporting for YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn
Some of our content is in Farsi. You do not need to speak Farsi. Translations or transcripts will be provided when necessary.
Who You Are
I’m looking for someone who is creative, fast, reliable, organized, and proactive.
You communicate clearly. If something is going to be late, you say so.
You can take feedback and improve from one edit to the next.
You pay attention to details without needing every detail pointed out.
Most importantly, you think like an editor, not just an operator of editing software.
I want someone interested in learning our content, audience, and style and becoming a long-term part of what we're building.
To Apply
Please send:
1. Three examples of your best work — ideally at least one long-form/multicam piece and two short-form videos.
2. A brief explanation of what you personally did on each piece.
3. What editing software you primarily use.
4. How long you would typically need to turn a 60–90 minute, 3-camera conversation into a finished YouTube episode.
5. How many short-form videos you could realistically produce per week alongside long-form editing.
6. Your expected monthly rate in USD.
7. Your timezone and typical working hours.
Please don't send a generic portfolio with dozens of links. Pick the three pieces that best demonstrate what you can do.
Shortlisted candidates will be asked to complete a paid editing test using real footage before we make a final decision.
