Our mission is to “Earn the World’s Attention” and Salt is built to find, develop, execute, and amplify the ideas that are worthy of our clients’ audiences. We’ve structured our agency to do what’s right for our clients – to connect different perspectives, to work across mediums, and to focus on delivering meaningful, effective results.

We’re committed to living up to the values in our name. “Salt of The Earth” means we value collaborative, humble, hard-working people here. We’re looking for people who are as smart as they are kind because we believe the right talent and the right culture help us do what’s right for our clients.

Position Overview

You possess a deep understanding of post-production pipelines, stellar organizational skills, and a passion for storytelling.

- Post-Production Support: Support the post-production workflow by building and refining rough cuts, executing revisions, completing brand packaging including captions and brand checks, and maintaining well-organized project files and assets for handovers.
- Finishing & Delivery Prep: Assist in locking cuts, prepping audio packages for mix (OMF/AAF), colour grading turnovers, and exporting multi-platform deliverables according to strict technical spec sheets.
- Workflow Optimization: Maintain and troubleshoot shared storage systems (NAS/SAN), proxy pipelines, media transfers, backups, and asset management systems to ensure smooth daily operations.
- Generative AI (Bonus Skill): Familiarity with Generative AI tools and workflows for image and video generation, with the ability to support creative and post-production needs using AI-generated assets when required.

## Qualifications & Requirements

- Location: Must currently reside in Toronto (or the Greater Toronto Area) or be fully willing to commute to the office on-site as required for collaborative editing days.
- Experience: 2+ years of professional experience as an Assistant Editor or Post-Production Coordinator within a commercial production house, digital agency, or broadcast environment.
- Technical Proficiency: Advanced command of Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve; working knowledge of After Effects is a strong plus.
- Pipeline Knowledge: Deep familiarity with modern codecs, frame rates, colour spaces, proxy workflows, and audio/video delivery specs for digital, social, and broadcast platforms.
- Organization: Exceptional attention to detail with proven ability to multitask, manage tight turnarounds, and maintain file hygiene under pressure.
- Communication: Strong interpersonal skills with a collaborative, proactive attitude and a willingness to learn from senior creative staff.
