Job Description

Shift Collab is one of Canada’s largest therapy practices, operating virtually to support Canadians from coast-to-coast. We believe going to therapy should feel empowering, and we are on a mission to make therapy human by providing mental health care that’s approachable, meaningful, and designed to make a real impact. Founded in 2016, we’re a family-owned business that’s gone from a small clinic to over 125 brilliant teammates nationally—and we’re only getting started.

We're Hiring A Videographer and Editor!

At Shift Collab, video isn’t an add-on. It’s one of the main ways we build trust, tell real stories, and show up authentically across our virtual brand. From founder-led storytelling, social content, paid media, and developing a new podcast, our goal is to create video that is actually worth watching. Rather than hiring someone new for every project, we’re intentionally looking for a long-term creative collaborator, someone who wants to learn our rhythm, understand our brand deeply, and contribute consistently rather than parachuting in project by project.

We’re looking for a combined videographer and video editor who gets that. Someone who cares about video quality - from pacing, to tone, to overall aesthetic - and brings strong execution skills along with a thoughtful point of view. You’ll work closely with our in-house marketing team and our co-founders, contributing ideas, offering your professional perspective, and helping shape how video continues to evolve across Shift Collab, without needing to lead the overall strategy.

This role is for someone who values collaboration over ego, and who knows how to balance quality with momentum. You take the work seriously, you’re open to feedback and iteration, and you believe great video is built with care, even when things move quickly.

Who You Are:

You’re a collaborative creative who genuinely enjoys working closely with a team and believes the best work comes from shared thinking, not working in a silo.
You’re energized by feedback and iteration, and you see collaboration as a way to make the work stronger, not as a threat to your creative voice. You’re proactive, positive, and comfortable contributing ideas, while also knowing when to adapt, and execute.
You’re curious and tapped into what’s happening in video and online culture. You notice trends, formats, and creative shifts, and you know how to translate what’s current into video that feels intentional and, on brand, without sacrificing quality or brand integrity.
You’re able to balance thoughtful storytelling with performance and marketing goals, and you understand that great creative can be both meaningful and effective.
You’re organized, dependable, and comfortable managing deadlines independently. And most importantly, you’re aligned with Shift Collab’s mission, values, and care about the kind of work we’re putting into the world.

What You'll Be Doing:

Collaborate closely with the marketing team to interpret briefs and align video content with brand and campaign goals
Contribute to creative ideation, shot lists, and storyboards for longer-form and campaign-based content
Film high-quality video, making creative and technical decisions related to framing, lighting, audio, and locations

Produce multiple versions of content to support testing and performance optimization
Manage digital assets including uploading, tagging, archiving, and organizing footage
Maintain consistent creative and technical standards across all video content
Collaborate with external freelancers or crew when required
Advise on equipment needs and production improvements

What You'll Bring To The Table:

5+ years of experience creating video for social media, podcasts, brand storytelling, or performance-driven content
A strong portfolio that demonstrates relevant, high-quality video work
Advanced shooting experience across studio, indoor, and outdoor environments
Strong working knowledge of camera systems, lighting techniques, and audio recording
Proven experience filming in both landscape and vertical, social-first formats
A solid understanding of platform best practices across Instagram, TikTok, Youtube, etc.
The ability to balance brand storytelling with performance-focused creative, roughly a 50/50 split
A strong eye for detail, clear storytelling instincts, and excellent communication skills

From an editing and technical perspective, you’re comfortable with:

Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, After Effects, CapCut, or similar tools
Platform-native pacing, hooks, and storytelling
Capturing and polishing high-quality audio, from microphone selection to broadcast-quality output
Creating UGC-style content, text overlays, captions, and motion elements
Performance-driven creative and content testing
Tools like Riverside (an asset) and curiosity around AI tools to improve workflow efficiency
