Social Media Video Editor (Remote, Volunteer, Part-Time)

SOCIAL MEDIA VIDEO EDITOR — VOLUNTEER, PART-TIME

Organization: Right to Live Canada

Location: Remote (United States, Canada or Europe)

Time Commitment: Firm commitment of 10 to 12 hours per week. Duration negotiable, four month minimum.

This is a remote volunteer opportunity with Right to Live Canada, a virtual-office based Canadian non-profit start-up.

------ THE MISSION

Right to Live Canada exists to realize the right to live as a practical, supported, executable choice.

We were founded in response to systemic poverty-driven euthanasia amongst Canadians with disabilities: cases where Canadians choose MAiD because they cannot access the essentials required to continue living. This is a specific form of economic euthanasia: euthanasia where a preferable living future existed, but was not achieved.

That crisis remains our founding application point. It is not the boundary of our work.

Right to Live Canada is building Continuity: the service, financial, technological, and institutional architecture required to keep life connected to preferable living futures. We work from the recognition that biological escape velocity may become achievable for a significant portion of people alive today, and that the right to live must now be pursued with the seriousness, urgency, and scale appropriate to that possibility.

Our four core areas are:

• Continuity Service — developing a service to identify, propose, finance and execute preferable living futures in the event of potential death
• Continuity Insurance — developing a finance model for Continuity Service in the event of potential death scenarios
• Social Brokerage — developing a system to productize and sell the anonymized outcome of a life supported to the global market as an impact product in exchange for the capital to accomplish it, in order to fund those who cannot afford Continuity Service or Insurance
• Corporate Farming — developing a global-scale system to take concepts, form a structure around them starting with a team, incubate them internally and nurture their growth towards incorporation, and then emitting them as formed non-profits dedicated to their founding concept such as a technology, project, infrastructure or issue.

Right to Live Canada is a founder-centric, early-stage non-profit pursuing rapid national and global expansion. We use the advantages of the non-profit form — volunteer-class labor, sponsorship sales, grants, subsidized infrastructure, open development, impact monetization, and institutional farming — to uphold and extend the right to live for humans and, ultimately, other conscious beings.

------ ROLE DESCRIPTION

This is a part-time, volunteer, and remote role for a Social Media Video Editor with Right to Live Canada.

The Social Media Video Editor will turn interviews, meeting recordings, presentations, talking-head footage, project updates, and other source material into polished, publishable social-media content. The editor will produce short vertical clips, concise five-to-seven-minute videos, and longer-form pieces for platforms such as LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and the organization’s websites.

A minimum of three years of professional video-editing or post-production experience is required; five or more years is strongly preferred. Candidates must demonstrate strong visual design, pacing, storytelling, and technical editing ability, with professional experience producing social-media content and a portfolio or work samples that prove the quality of their work.

Responsibilities include reviewing raw footage; selecting and extracting directed moments; removing dead time, errors, and interruptions; cleaning and balancing audio; correcting colour and framing; adding hooks, titles, captions, subtitles, lower thirds, transitions, approved visuals, motion graphics, and branding; converting long-form recordings into five-to-seven-minute videos and short platform-specific clips; preparing horizontal and vertical exports; and maintaining organized source files, project files, versions, and final assets.

This is a high-ownership production role suited to someone who can work consistently, diligently, and with strong editorial judgment in a remote startup environment. The commitment of 10 to 12 hours per week is firm. We will engage multiple video editors to distribute the overall workload, but every editor is individually expected to contribute this amount of time each week on a reliable and continuing basis.

The role will work closely with the Executive Director, organizational leads, social-media and public-relations volunteers, and other video editors. Editors must be able to follow content direction, identify strong moments, explain editorial choices, incorporate feedback, complete revisions, and carry assigned work through to a polished final export. Public-facing videos must distinguish current work, validated progress, development plans, and long-term vision without overstating technical readiness or organizational capacity.

------ QUALIFICATIONS

Universal Requirement:

• You must possess good equipment for virtual meetings, both video and audio.
• You must attend virtual meetings with the capability to give it your full attention, like a dedicated office room or space.

Required:

• A minimum of three years of professional video-editing or post-production experience; five or more years is strongly preferred.
• Professional experience editing social-media videos for organizations, companies, publications, creators, campaigns, or clients.
• A strong portfolio or work samples demonstrating polished, production-quality video editing and strong visual storytelling.
• Proficiency with Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, or equivalent professional video-editing software.
• Strong command of cutting, pacing, audio cleanup, colour correction, framing, titles, captions, subtitles, transitions, and basic motion graphics.
• Ability to transform long-form interviews, meetings, presentations, or commentary into concise five-to-seven-minute videos and engaging short clips.
• Ability to prepare platform-appropriate horizontal and vertical exports with mobile-readable text, correct framing, and safe-area awareness.
• Ability to consistently commit 10 to 12 hours every week, work independently, and manage assigned edits diligently.
• Professional communication, sound editorial judgment, organized project and source files, attention to detail, and reliability through review and revision cycles.

Preferred:

• A clean, premium, modern editing style comparable to Apple or leading Silicon Valley technology companies.
• Experience producing recurring short-form content for LinkedIn, YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels, Facebook, or comparable platforms.
• Experience communicating technology, science, engineering, healthcare, public-policy, advocacy, or other complex subjects through video.
• Experience using ChatGPT to develop visual concepts, storyboards, supporting imagery, or other video assets. This is preferred but not required; training will be provided as necessary.
• Motion-graphics, basic animation, visual-explainer, documentary, interview, podcast, or educational-content experience.

------ TIME COMMITMENT

This is a part-time volunteer role requiring a firm commitment of 10 to 12 hours per week. We will have multiple video editors to distribute the overall workload, but this does not reduce the individual weekly commitment: each editor must contribute 10 to 12 hours consistently and diligently. Right to Live Canada will provide access to a ChatGPT Plus account for approved role-related work and will train editors on our use of ChatGPT for supporting imagery, visual concepts, and other video-production needs as necessary.
