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 make continued life a practical, supported, executable option when a preferable living future exists but the systems required to reach it do not.

We were founded in response to systemic poverty-driven euthanasia among Canadians with disabilities: cases in which people pursue MAiD because housing, income, care, treatment, or other essentials required to continue living are unavailable. In those cases, death can become the executable option while a preferable living future remains structurally out of reach.

That distinction defines Right to Live. Right to Live is the only organization in Canada addressing euthanasia with a practical solution model for all Canadians - not merely opposing MAiD, documenting harms, or raising awareness, but building the service, financing, technological, and institutional infrastructure that can make continued life executable. The scale of the issue is already national: 16,499 Canadians received MAiD in 2024, equal to 5.1% of all deaths in Canada, and the number of MAiD provisions increased another 6.9% over 2023 after years of year-over-year growth. MAiD is the fourth leading cause of death in Canada. And those 16,499 deaths capture only euthanasia itself - not Canadians who die because care is inaccessible, support gaps go unresolved, or life-preserving and specialty treatments cannot be reached. We were founded in response to poverty-driven disability euthanasia, but the solution is not limited to disability: Continuity is being built for any Canadian facing a potential death where a preferable living future can still be achieved.

We call that infrastructure Continuity: the service, financial, technological, and institutional architecture required to connect a person facing potential death to a preferable living future. The model is designed to identify what would make continued life viable, assemble the intervention, solve the financing problem, and execute it. Its scope can extend from social and medical supports to frontier technologies where the body itself becomes the limiting factor.

Right to Live is building this through four core areas:

• Continuity Service — the practical service layer: identify what is driving a person toward an avoidable death, design a preferable living future, determine how it can be financed, execute the intervention, and produce an actual outcome rather than another referral dead end.
• Continuity Insurance — developing insurance-based financing so people can pre-fund access to Continuity interventions before a future death-risk scenario becomes an immediate financial crisis.
• Social Brokerage — developing a way to finance people who cannot afford Continuity by turning the anonymized outcome of a life supported into a measurable impact product for global impact buyers.
• Corporate Farming — building and incubating mission-locked organizations around the technologies, services, infrastructure, and concepts Continuity will need, then spinning them out to pursue those missions at full scale.

Right to Live is an early-stage, founder-led Canadian nonprofit built to move at startup speed on problems normally treated as separate: poverty-driven disability euthanasia, the absence of a practical service pathway to preferable living futures, the financing gaps that can make survival inaccessible, and frontier technologies that could preserve continuity when ordinary life-support pathways run out. OpenABLS is one of our most ambitious examples: a nonprofit-led, open-source Artificial Brain Life Support development project working toward a reference design that could sustain a living brain when the body can no longer support it. For the Head of Revenue, the opportunity is to build the revenue engine behind work with both immediate human impact and extraordinary long-term potential.

------ 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.
