Short-Form Content Strategist & Editor
Overview
We're looking for a hands-on content creator who understands how to build and grow short-form content accounts through real experience, not just theory. This role goes beyond editing. It requires someone who can help shape the direction of our social presence, turn ideas into high-performing content, and consistently improve quality and engagement.
What You'll Do
- Edit and produce high-quality short-form videos (Reels, TikToks, Shorts)
- Take raw ideas and turn them into clear, engaging, value-driven content
- Cut through unnecessary fluff and improve pacing, clarity, and retention
- Identify trends and formats that align with the brand and audience
- Support scripting and structure for content when needed
- Maintain consistency in posting and overall content direction
- Help organize and manage content workflows and priorities
- Keep projects on track and ensure content aligns with clear objectives
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience growing social media accounts, ideally ~30K+ followers; open to candidates still establishing themselves as freelancers if their portfolio shows strong instincts and results
- Strong portfolio of short-form content you've personally created or edited
- Deep understanding of what performs in value-driven, educational content
- Strong editing skills with an eye for pacing, storytelling, and engagement
- Ability to simplify ideas and make content more interesting and digestible
- Proactive, organized, and comfortable working in a fast-moving environment
- Willingness to bring structure, direction, and accountability to the process
What This Role Is Not:
This isn't a basic content scheduler or clipper role, and it isn't for someone who simply follows instructions without input. It also isn't focused on vanity metrics or purely influencer-style content.
Location & Work Arrangement
This is an in-person role based in Calgary, with regular on-site filming days required; it isn't remote or hybrid-flexible, so consistent local availability is essential. It's a fractional engagement rather than a traditional part-time role, and hours and scope will flex with the work over time.
How to Apply
Submit three pieces of work or profiles you're genuinely proud of, personally filmed or edited. Your resume isn't as important as your work and reputation; we're evaluating craft over credentials.
What Success Looks Like:
This is a role for someone who wants to be involved in the vision and execution of a growing content platform. You won't just be editing content, you'll be helping shape it.
- Consistent, high-quality content output
- Improved engagement, retention, and audience growth
- Clear, focused messaging across all content
- A more structured and effective content workflow
- Content that feels intentional, valuable, and aligned with the brand
Pay: $20.00-$45.00 per hour
Application question(s):
- Can you drive to the Calgary Tower in 30 minutes or less?
Work Location: Hybrid remote in Calgary, AB T2E 4E2
