Must-Haves 4-5 years (plus) - or equivalent experience - working within the creative industry or within social content production. Client Professional - extensive experience being client facing, pitching ideas, getting client buy-in. Social Native: You don't just "use" social; you understand the nuances of TikTok, Meta, and Snap like a pro. Portfolio: A showcase of work that depicts your extensive experience creating social first content. Creative Visionary: You can dream up a concept for a beauty brand one hour and a gaming brand the next. Communication: Comfortable leading client calls and presenting your ideas with conviction. Nice-to-Haves Briefing Skills: Experience briefing UGC creators, Editors, and/or motion designers. Technical Literacy: You don't need to be an editor, but you know your way around the Adobe Suite and understand the video production workflow. AI Enthusiast: You’re already experimenting with AI tools to speed up ideation or production. Compensation & Perks 💰 Competitive Base Salary: In-line with your experience between $70,000 and $85,000 CAD 🩺 Private Healthcare: To keep you feeling your best. 💻 Flexibility First: Work your way with our virtual-first hybrid approach. 🏝 Generous Time Off: 25 days vacation (+ Public Holidays) to take the breaks you need to recharge. 🌍 Remote Flexibility: Work away from your hub (or in another Vidsy Office) for up to 4 weeks of the year. 😇 Volunteer Day: Get a paid day off annually to support a cause you care about. ♥️ Wellbeing Focus: Access our wellness programs and Employee Assistance Program. 🍼 Enhanced Parental Leave Polivies: Adaptable to your needs too! 🌍 Eco Impact: Your carbon footprint offset through our Ecologi partnership. Who You’ll Report To You’ll report to Remi, our Creative Director, who’s been with Vidsy since 2019.
