About Authentic Ego

Authentic Ego is a cosmetic chemist-founded skincare brand specializing in science-driven formulations for sensitive, reactive, acne-prone, and multi-concern skin.

We're looking for a creative, detail-oriented Videographer & Video Editor to work directly with our founder to capture, edit, and produce engaging short-form video content.

This is a hands-on creative production role, not a social media management position.

About the Role

You'll collaborate directly with our founder for 2-3 dedicated filming days each month in the GTA West (Toronto, Mississauga, Burlington etc.)

These sessions will focus on capturing founder-led educational content, skincare demonstrations, product footage, behind-the-scenes moments, and other material for our social media channels and digital marketing campaigns.

Following each filming session, you'll independently edit, cut, and repurpose footage into polished, ready-to-publish content.

You'll work alongside our social media manager, who will handle content scheduling, publishing, and channel management.

Key Responsibilities

Videography & Production

• Meet with the founder in person approximately 2-3 times per month for scheduled content filming sessions.
• Set up and operate cameras, lighting, microphones, and other filming equipment.
• Capture high-quality founder-led talking-head videos, product demonstrations, educational content, and brand footage.
• Help direct filming sessions, including framing, lighting, composition, and presentation.
• Collaborate on shot lists and filming priorities to maximize the content captured during each session.

Video Editing & Post-Production

• Edit raw footage into polished short-form videos optimized for Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and digital advertising.
• Cut longer recordings into multiple standalone clips.
• Add captions, text overlays, transitions, and supporting visuals where appropriate.
• Improve pacing, audio quality, colour balance, and overall production quality.
• Create variations of existing footage to support different content formats.
• Maintain consistent visual quality and brand aesthetics.
• Organize raw footage, edited assets, and project files in a shared content library.
• Deliver completed videos to the social media manager for scheduling and publishing.

What We're Looking For

• Demonstrated experience filming and editing short-form digital video.
• A strong portfolio showing both videography and video editing capabilities (mock content is welcome)
• Proficiency with Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, CapCut, or comparable software.
• Experience with camera operation, lighting, audio recording, and video composition.
• Strong understanding of short-form video pacing, hooks, captions, and visual storytelling.
• Ability to independently edit footage and deliver completed assets on schedule.
• Excellent organization, attention to detail, and communication.
• Located in Burlington, Oakville, Hamilton, Mississauga, or surrounding GTA communities, with reliable transportation for in-person filming.

Nice to Have

• Experience creating beauty, skincare, wellness, or lifestyle content.
• Experience filming product close-ups, textures, and demonstrations.
• Familiarity with founder-led and educational video formats.
• Basic product photography experience.

Schedule & Working Arrangement

• Approximately 40–50 hours per month initially.
• One or two scheduled in-person filming days per month in the Burlington-Toronto area.
• Remaining hours dedicated primarily to video editing, which can be completed remotely.
• Flexible editing schedule, subject to agreed production deadlines.
• Potential for additional hours as content production needs grow.

What This Role Does Not Include

This is not a social media manager role. You will not be responsible for social media scheduling, publishing, community management, influencer outreach, or overall social media strategy.

Your primary responsibility is to film, edit, and deliver high-quality video content.

How to Apply

Please submit your application to hello@authenticego.com with the following

1. Your resume.
2. A link to your video portfolio or examples of recent work (mock content is always welcome)
3. Two or three short-form videos that demonstrate your filming and editing abilities.

*Please note: Applications without videos or a portfolio can not be considered.

We look forward to hearing from you!!
